Corsairs of the Great Sea is an accessory for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, published in 1994.
Corsairs of the Great Sea offers five adventures (plus a sixth encounter), one of which sends the player characters after an evil ghul cult that is sacrificing children, a couple of others depend crucially on traitors betraying the PCs, and in one the PCs are spies. [1]
Allen Varney reviewed Corsairs of the Great Sea for Dragon magazine #219 (July 1995). [1] He described Corsairs of the Great Sea as "Lightest in content and least cohesive of the sourceboxes", called the five adventures "routine" and the sixth encounter "filler", noting that they "sort of feature corsairs, or take place in corsair cities, or, well, appear in a sourcebox with "corsairs" in the title", and that "all these notions seem badly out of place in an Arabian campaign". [1] Varney stated in his conclusion of the review: "This box makes more references than usual to the Forgotten Realms, where Zakhara is nominally placed. I'm uncomfortable with this, because the Realms already have three desert cultures (including one, Anauroch, with the same cultural roots as the Al-Qadim setting), and because Zakhara is more than a different place, it's a different genre of adventure. But Corsairs even brings in a spelljamming ship from Kara-Tur, which is about as non-Arabian as you get. The good news is, this is the only weak entry in an exceptionally strong line." [1]
Faerûn is a fictional continent and the primary setting of the Dungeons & Dragons world of Forgotten Realms. It is described in detail in several editions of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting with the most recent being the 5th edition from Wizards of the Coast, and various locales and aspects are described in more depth in separate campaign setting books. Around a hundred novels and several computer and video games use Faerûn as the setting.
Cosmic Encounter is a science fiction–themed strategy board game designed by "Future Pastimes" and originally published by Eon Games in 1977. In it, each player takes the role of a particular alien species, each with a unique power to bend or break one of the rules of the game, trying to establish control over the universe. The game was inducted into the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design Adventure Gaming Hall of Fame in 1997.
Abeir-Toril is the fictional planet that makes up the Forgotten RealmsDungeons & Dragons campaign setting, as well as the Al-Qadim and Maztica campaign settings and the 1st edition version of the Oriental Adventures campaign setting.
Middle-earth Collectible Card Game (MECCG) is an out-of-print collectible card game released by Iron Crown Enterprises in late 1995. It is the first CCG based on J.R.R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, with added content from ICE's Middle-earth Role Playing Game.
Al-Qadim is a campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game which was developed by Jeff Grubb with Andria Hayday for TSR, Inc., and was first released in 1992. Al-Qadim uses One Thousand and One Nights as a theme and is set in the land of Zakhara, called the Land of Fate. Thematically, the land of Zakhara is a blend of the historical Muslim Caliphates, the stories of legend, and a wealth of Hollywood cinematic history. Zakhara is a peninsula on the continent of Faerûn in the world of Toril, the locale of the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, although Al-Qadim is designed to stand on its own or be added to any existing campaign setting. The basic campaign setting was divided between two game products: Al-Qadim: Arabian Adventures, a sourcebook describing character creation rules, equipment, and spells unique to the setting, and Al-Qadim: Land of Fate, a boxed set describing the land of Zakhara, with separate sourcebooks for the players and the Dungeon Master.
