From Temple to Tomb - Nightfang Spire has long brooded in lonely silence, shadowed within the walls of a steep defile. A tall stone column, it resembles nothing so much as an enormous fang of some vanished, mythical beast. Once, a fervent religious order thrived here--before its god was slain. Embracing that death, Nightfang Spire was transofrmed into a massive, hollow mortuary filled with the restless dead. Heart of Nightfang Spire is a stand-alone adventure for the Dungeons & Dragons game. This adventure challenges 10th-level heroes who follow the rumor of a dragon's hoard to the imposing edifice known as Nightfang Spire. When they arrive, the truth about the place is revealed in all its awful clarity. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.

This is the 3rd adventure in a series of 8, strategically designed to hit the "highlights" of the 3rd Edition D&D rules and move characters from the 1st to the 20th level. Characters will travel to a large town to visit a fair... and find serious trouble. Rival gangs appear to be fighting for dominance in the town, and while the ruling Baron's forces are strong enough to deal with most crime or insurrection, he has had no luck curtailing the activities of the gangs, many of whom employ magic or strange creatures. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.

Evil lurks in the forest - What terror stalks the villagers of Ossington? Who is the ghostly horseman haunting the road, stopping anyone from leaving? Why are the wild elves slaying villagers from afar with their deadly stone-tipped arrows? What lies buried in the old Great Barrow, and why is it stirring anew? What secret do the ancient standing stones surrounding the village hold, and can the heroes solve the mystery before a foul plot comes to fruition? The Standing Stone is fourth in a series of stand-alone Dungeons & Dragons adventures for 7th-level D&D heroes. It presents a mystery for heroes to solve if they wish to save an isolated village from the dangers that threaten to overwhelm it. 32 pages, B&W. Cover price $9.95.

But today, is he a hardened, pragmatic opportunist, or is he still the idealistic young man that Patricia loved? As the New York primaries approach, Yamaoka vies with Democratic front-runner Albert Noah for the endorsement of Gilbert Blackburn, mayor of NYC and political power broker. But as the TV debates begin, Takashi discovers that racism in America is far from dead. Softcover, 5-in. x 8-in., 424 pages, B&W. Cover price $19.95.

(W/A) Dean Motter. Welcome to the world of 2001 as envisioned in 1941. An experimental community built at the beginning of the electric age, Electropolis is characterized by skyscraper-sized Van Der Graaf generator towers and Strickfadden machines, as well as a distinctive modernist architectural style.

Set against this backdrop, ELECTROPOLIS is a vintage murder mystery that goes to the heart of the power industry in this brave new world. ELECTROPOLIS is written and illustrated by DEAN MOTTER ( The Prisoner, Mister X, Terminal City) It picks up, one could say, where Mister X and Terminal City both intersect, and left off.
