So, with the aim of creating the ultimate archive of TSR material,
here are the box-sets for the Al-Qadim setting.
Al-Qadim was a limited series of adventures and sourcebooks for an
Arabian Nights-themed setting for use with the AD&D 2nd Edition rules.
Nominally part of the Forgotten Realms campaign world, it could be
used stand-alone or adapted without too much effort to any home-brew
campaign. Introduced by the "Arabian Adventures" sourcebook, the
series ultimately encompassed around 15 volumes. Unlike other series,
many of the adventures were published as boxed sets, possibly as an
attempt by the cash-starved TSR to improve revenue. Although
originally intended to only be published for a single-year, Al-Qadim
proved so popular that additional material was published for a second
year as well.
None of the following are new scans; as usual, these are just
clean-ups of previously released material. In these instances, I had
relatively little to do: the original scans were very nicely done. The
most notable addition is that I patched the individually-scanned tiles
of the poster maps back into a coherent whole. If I noticed there was
any missing material (usually box covers) I added it in. I added or
improved the bookmarks and re-numbered the pages. But generally very
little work was needed.
I tend to put little sticky-note comments indicating the box contents
on the front cover; this is largely to let me know that I've actually
done touch-up work on the file already, but it is also informs if
there is any missing material. I hope nobody finds it too annoying...
