First of all let’s address the elephant sized typo on the cover, this is not AC3 (which was The Kidnapping of Princess Arelina from 1984) but AC8 which can make it a bit confusing. Interestingly, and even more confusingly, this is a direct sequel to AC3 in terms of the adventure that comes bundled in with the models.

The idea of this AC (which stands for accessory) module is to provide players and DMs with some 3-D modules that can be used in play, in this case specifically for wilderness adventures. AC3 did something similar but with dungeon 3-D models then. This tradition comes all the way back from the beginning of D&D with the Dungeon Geomorphs and remains to our days with the Terrain Campaign Case that came out a couple of years ago.

Bundled together with these models is a mini adventure for you to make use of the cardboard constructions, and that is a direct sequel to the earlier set of 3-D models, so you could buy them both and play through it. Fun stuff. Also, we got to entry 400 in this blog! Only 39 years of coverage to go!
