Useful set of 2nd edition guides and modules

Post by Kelemvor » Fri Feb 02, 2007 10:18 pm

The Wizards of the Coast website is a great place to find information, but sometimes it can take a little work to dig out the item you are interested in.

Here is a site which has done all of the hard work for you

A lot of these links are broken now, but the Wizards of the Coast have followed suit and put a lot these things in one place at:

Tried finding some information about the standing army of Waterdeep, and.. failed, miserably. After downloading some of the stuff about "the North" and "Volo's Guide to the North", I decided maybe Waterdeep had it's own books and stuff - and I believe it does, but I can't find it on either of the sites listed. Anyone wanna help?

Dozens of guides in PDF here, this site has been my main reference source for months now.

I found Waterdeep City Systems and a number of other modules and source books available here.

EDIT: An hour or so later and I'm still trawling this site and finding gems like this

Maybe I'm technilogically retarded, but I can't get the links from the forums to open up for me. :oops: What do I need to do here, again?

click the link of the pdf you want

on the first screen type in the three letter colored code into the first box; then click enter

on the second screen it'll ask for the password; the pw is http://www.da-warez.org

then on the final page click on the free download option and save file
Listen up! People pay good money to see this movie! When they go out to a theater they want cold sodas, hot popcorn, and no monsters in the projection booth! Do I have to come up there myself? Do you think the Gremsters can stand up to the Hulkster?

Remember to type in the password rather than just copy and paste the link as the fact that it is a web address confuses the password checker.

It also seems to limit you to one free download per IP address per 24 hours unless you register with megadownload.

1 download at a time. And after so many mb it prompts you to wait 15 minutes before allowing you to begin a new download again.
