Publication history

AC5 Dragon Tiles II: The Revenge of Rusak was designed by David "Zeb" Cook, with art by Dennis and Martha Kauth, and was published by TSR in 1985 as an 8-page pamphlet, two cardstock sheets, a cardstock counters sheet, and an outer folder. [1] It was originally misprinted with the designation AC3; AC5 stickers were then placed over the misprint. [1] Both were in error, as AC5 was the designation for the 1984 printing of the Player Character Record Sheets. Though the printing was never corrected, later publications gave it the designation of AC8. [2]
