This article is about the adventure module. For the region, see Bloodstone Pass.

Bloodstone Pass is a 1st-edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons adventure that was later retconned into the Forgotten Realms. It was the first module to feature the Battlesystem tabletop rules.

The first BATTLESYSTEM Supermodule from TSR, Inc!

The tiny village of Bloodstone Pass is menaced by an army of thousands of brigands—orcs, goblins, giants, and human renegades led by a powerful assassin. Outnumbered and helpless, the villagers must pay tribute in gold, food… slaves.

Two villagers have traveled far to find aid for their people. They have turned to you, brave and powerful adventurers, as their only hope. They cannot afford to pay more than a few silver pieces a day, but their need is great.

You are invited to save the people of Bloodstone Pass. Can you organize a defense, train and equip the peasants, recruit allies, gather intelligence... and win the war?

BLOODSTONE PASS is an exciting good-aligned, high-level (15+) adventure that combines roleplaying with the thrill of mass combat. A complete 3-D ADVENTURE FOLD-UP village makes the battle come alive!

Description[]

Bloodstone Pass is an adventure with both a role-playing scenario and Battlesystem combat, in which the town of Bloodstone Pass hires the player characters to organize a defense against an army of evil humanoid monsters. The army also included human renegades led by a powerful assassin. Bloodstone Pass introduced the character of Gareth Dragonsbane and the Order of the Golden Cup, and was later expanded on in the H series of adventure modules.

Behind the Scenes[]

Because the adventure was not originally written as set in the Forgotten Realms setting, certain elements do not fit with later canon, such as Tanaroo calling the circus "the greatest show on Oerth", or mention of a sea route into Vaasa.
