.@TheEdVerse I've seen on the DMsGuild presentation of the Haunted Halls that there was in your original module a "Silent House hideout" in or around Eveningstar.https://t.co/dqrCBtGXoQ
Can you confirm or deny that and if you confirm it, can you say something more about it ? Thx— Corentin Palanchini (@Sartana87) December 7, 2018
Heh. Yes, I can confirm. Check out my novel CROWN OF FIRE (second in Shandril's saga; it's the direct sequel to SPELLFIRE) for more.

I never heard of Shandril’s Saga before, can you give me a bit of a summary as to what it’s about? My first Realms novel, SPELLFIRE, tells the tale of a young girl who discovers she has the ability to wield spellfire…so it seems half the Realms is after her, to get it. A huge bestseller back in 1987, it later got two sequels: CROWN OF FIRE and HAND OF FIRE.

Oh ya! I remember the Spellfire rules in Volo’s Guide to all things magical. I heard their was also a non-published “Hawkhill adventure” written by you called Spellfire if I recall correctly That would be "Spellstorm," but it's (aside from being set in the Realms) unrelated to Shandril Shessair and spellfire. I wrote it for, and donated it to, the RPGA (forerunner of the Adventurers' League) as a tournament adventure. Little used as it makes use of handouts.

A pleasure! Always happy to chat about the Realms. May the Realms be a welcoming home for your games forever!

Is the Spellstorm adventure available anywhere in print or PDF? Don't think so. It belongs to TSR, as I donated it to the RPGA. I did see photocopies that had been edited (all the handouts removed, which utterly destroys the point; PCs had to puzzle out what was going on to decide what to do, and without them…ffft) in circulation, YEARS ago

My home files are in utter chaos right now due to moving stuff around the house (and into storage across the yard), so it may take me years to find a copy. If I do, and am still alive and not snowed under with paying work and the current DM's Guild arrangement survives, I'll…

…certainly share it with the wider world. It was a fun little 4-hour one-shot, but ruined if players have read it and know what to do.

And to all reading this who wonder why I didn't keep better organized, please remember that for thirty-four or so years I've been CRAZY busy doing a double-TSR-staff-designer workload+fun sideline projects+ a full-time job+ charity work+life/caregiving+ 200miledailycommute :}
