Collectors arcana: The most expensive and most sought after AD&D item. A centerpiece in any collection. This is the tournament version of the highly popular C2 Ghost Tower of Inverness. This was played at WinterCon VIII 1979 and sold in limited quantities of 300 numbered copies at the convention. TSR would occasionally make a tourney dungeon to highlight the company at various tournaments and playtest it prior to mass production. Keep in mind TSR was merely a guest at WinterCon/Michicon so it was in their best interest to make a good impression to meet expectations. We all know they made an excellent impression with the later C2. This edition contains Erol Otus illustrations never reprinted elsewhere. Author copies and referee copies are known to exist but generally do not generate much more value wise. This tourney mod seems as though it was stored well by the original owners and usually resurface at EX to NM conditiont. They were sold in Ziplock bags which was standard of the day.

Interior art from this module can be found on Erol Otus' page.
