The S-Series modules—Tomb of Horrors, White Plume Mountain, Barrier Peaks, and Tsojcanth —pushed D&D to its limits.

Did you know TSR published official D&D settings where you could:

🐉 Play as a dragon?
⚔️ Fight in a war with no heroes?
🦖 Explore a lost world of dinosaurs?

They were some of the strangest D&D settings ever published… and may players missed them!

These are TSR’s forgotten RPGs.
