Havens of the Great Bay is an accessory for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, published in 1996.
Havens of the Great Bay is a supplement which adds more domains that player characters may rule. The realms of Brechtur which are located around the great bay of Cerilia are populated largely by elves, dwarves and the Brechts. [1]
Havens of the Great Bay was published by TSR, Inc. in 1996.
David Comford reviewed Havens of the Great Bay for Arcane magazine, rating it a 7 out of 10 overall. [1] He commented that "The number and variety of domains for players to control in Birthright is huge, and Havens of the Great Bay is another collection of them." and he noted that "a number of [the realms] capture the imagination - Drachenward, home to no less than four Cerilian Dragons, and awnshegh realms such as that controlled by the Vampire, the Hag and the schizophrenic Banshegh to mention but a brief selection of them." [1] As far as whether the product offers anything of real value to the game apart from "yet more domains", he answered his own question: "Well, a new player character, The Guilder, is presented together with two new Domain actions, and the war cards are of a good strength and variety - this is about it, however." [1] Comford continued: "To get the most out of Havens of the Great Bay, the Blood Enemies supplement will have to be used as an accompaniment because a number of references are made to it. In addition either Cities of the Sun or Naval Battle Rules [...] will need to be handy for reference because the sea plays an important role in each realm." [1] He added: "If you want to collect each box-set to hold details on the entire Birthright world then go ahead. It's not a bad expansion, though the quality of artwork on the handouts is a little varied." [1] Comford concluded his review by saying, "Otherwise I recommend you read about the Brechts from the campaign setting box-set, and buy a selection of the Player's Secrets series which will doubtless follow."

Spellfire: Master the Magic is an out-of-print collectible card game (CCG) created by TSR, Inc. and based on their popular Dungeons & Dragons role playing game. The game appeared first in April 1994, shortly after the introduction of Magic: The Gathering, in the wake of the success enjoyed by trading card games. It was the second CCG to be released, preceding Wizards of the Coast's second CCG Jyhad by two months. More than one dozen expansions for the game were released, and the final expansion was released in October 1997.
Birthright is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign setting that was first released by TSR in 1995. It is based on the continent of Cerilia on the world of Aebrynis, in which the players take on the role of the divinely-empowered rulers, with emphasis on the political rulership level of gameplay. The setting revolves around the concept of bloodlines: divine power gained by heroes and passed on to their descendants. Characters with a bloodline create an aura of command known as Regency, which is measured in the game using regency points or RP. Using regency, characters acquire a domain composed of provinces and holdings. The development of these domains is as much a part of the game as development of the characters. The game uses three-month domain turns to model actions of rulers over nations in much the same way as Dungeons & Dragons uses combat rounds to simulate time to model the characters' actions in battle. In 1996, Birthright won the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Supplement of 1995.
A character class is a fundamental part of the identity and nature of characters in the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game. A character's capabilities, strengths, and weaknesses are largely defined by their class; choosing a class is one of the first steps a player takes to create a Dungeons & Dragons player character. A character's class affects a character's available skills and abilities. A well-rounded party of characters requires a variety of abilities offered by the classes found within the game.
