This optional encounter includes 5 paragraphs of game rules for running the event. Anyway, here are the tidbits that I find the most interesting.Īrea N, "The Tomb of Pelota", features an aggressively animate rubber ball which challenges adventurers to a classic game of pelota, in a long hallway with goals on either end. As an aside: If you're curious, the only other "Collector's Edition" monochrome-and-numbered item was Ghost Tower of Inverness by Allen Hammack (later module C2). There is no tournament scoring system (which makes me suspect that the system in the later C1 was made just for that publication, and not used at Origins).
There is no separate illustration booklet, and generally just a few illustrations in the module itself. Areas are identified variously by letters or numbers ( names of areas generally match C1, but the numbers do not). For starters: The formatting is much more rudimentary just run directly off a personal typewriter in a single mono font, from what I can tell. There are many differences between this edition and the later, more mass-market publication of module C1 in 1980/81.
If you find this module intriguing, look for the TSR logo on future publications from The Game Wizards! LOST TAMOACHAN: "The Hidden Shrine of Lubaantum", is the first in a new line of Collector's Edition modules from TSR. Pre-rolled characters are included with brief histories for each. This special numbered collectors edition (300 copies in print) contains background information, referee's notes, a large four-level map and reference matrices. This module was originally used for the Official Advanced Dungeon & Dragons tournament at Origins '79. This is the Mayan-themed adventure (in-game, "Olman") by Harold Johnson & Jeff Leason, later repackaged as AD&D Dungeon Module C1 in 1980/81. So I was reading the "Collector's Edition" of the AD&D Lost Tamoachan module, published by TSR in 1979.
