Похищение принцессы Арелины: Дополнение для Dungeons & Dragons

Tabletop role playing game supplement for Dungeons & Dragons

The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina is a fourteen page accessory designed for the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role playing game.

Garry Spiegle wrote 3 D Dragon Tiles Featuring The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina as a supplement with two purposes in mind. First it included a fairly large number of cardboard cutouts of monsters, characters, and maps called Dragon Tiles. The latter could be configured in different ways to provide a variety of maps for the figure cutouts. Secondly, a small adventure, The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina, came in the same supplement.

The accessory contains a cardstock tile set that can be rearranged to create a dungeon map, and comes with cardboard pieces that represent furniture. Instructions for setting up the tiles are included, and the set is also designed to be usable with Advanced Dungeons & Dragons. The set includes both the cutouts needed to accurately layout the small tower, the enemies the group encounters, and the pre generated characters for the players. This package includes 51 3 D figures, featuring characters, creatures, walls, and doors. Two sheets of 84 two sided feature tiles, showing traps, treasures, furniture, and special surprises, are also included. A Dungeon Mapping Grid is provided to help lay out dungeons quickly.

The design of the module expects the use of four to eight adventurers between second and fifth level.

Eight pre generated characters come with the module so a group can begin the adventure immediately. They include: Berklai, a fourth level fighter; Awas, a fourth level magic user; Triak, a fifth level cleric; Penchuri, a fourth level thief; Kuat, a third level ranger; Saudara, a third level magic user; Teman, a fourth level cleric; and Ambil, a third level thief.

The plot involves the kidnapping of a royal woman. To take advantage of the castle tile set the entire adventure takes place indoors as the group searches a tower to free the princess. Eventually the group rescues the woman and returns her to the king for their just rewards.

AC3 3 D Dragon Tiles featuring the Kidnapping of Princess Arelina was designed by Garry Spiegle, and published by TSR in 1984 as an 8 page pamphlet, two cardstock folders, and a cardboard counter sheet. The 10th Anniversary Dungeons & Dragons Collector's Set boxed set, published by TSR in 1984, included the rulebooks from the Basic, Expert, and Companion sets; modules AC2, AC3, B1, B2, and M1, Blizzard Pass; Player Character Record Sheets; and dice; this set was limited to 1,000 copies, and was sold by mail and at GenCon 17.
