Anyone have the Elves HB? If there are any profs, anyone willing to help me
by sending them?

Looking for helpo from modules other than the original 15 (or did it end up
to be 16?)

Looking for help on the FR series of accessories.  I have FR4 and 10 are there
NWP's in any others?

>        Al-Qadim book

Any help from additions ot this, esp. the Lands of Fate boxed set appreciated.

Dark Sun Boxed Set and Dragon Kings Book
And Dune Trader Accessory--help from others needed

>        D&D Gazeteer series& Creature Crucibles

The names of the ones I have are :
	Gaz2: Emirates of Ylaruam
	Gaz4: Kingdom of Ierendi
	Gaz9: The minthorad guilds
	Gaz10: Orcs of Thar
	Gaz13: shadow elves
	Gaz 14: Atruaghin Clans
Some people had asked, so...

ALSO:  If there are any that are not listed here, by all means tell me!
TSR produces too many products to keep up with, so I don't know them all,
much less have them all.

Still don't have an answer to that one.
