This has been an ambitious project. Itis difficult to revise the good work done by
someone else and to add material to it that does not destroy the flavor of the origi-
nal. To do this has been my task.
Tracy Hickman, Laura Hickman, and Philip Meyers provided an excellent set of
adventures in the original Desert Of Desolation Series, [3 through IS. The story that
held these adventures together was of a campaign style, an epic quest against seem-
ingly insuperable odds. To this material, Peter Rice and I have added new designs,
expanding on some of the open ends that were left behind in the original works. We
designed the adventure map, tying together all of the adventure areas, and we cre-
ated the ancient alphabet used on all of the inscriptions. With the help of Jeff Grubb,
Peter and I have expanded the history, storyline, and legends to tie together the
adventures and weave in the new material, creating a viable campaign in the Forgot-
ten Realms. In addition, as editor, I have completely revised the format, rewritten
much of the text, and added significantly to the judging notes.
What has resulted amazes me. The work has a luster and sparkle that I wish every
‘one of my own designs had. I guess that is what happens when you take a jewel and
polish it. It is enjoyable to read and the playtests of the revised work were a lot of
fun.
Here you have the Desert Of Desolation. You have a wonderful adventure ahead.
I wish I could join you.
