The Shrine of Kollchap

The popularity of Dungeons & Dragons led to the publication of several books that attempted to explain the game to the general public. Dr. Holmes' 1981 book was one of the earliest. Another that followed shortly thereafter in the UK in 1982 was What is Dungeons & Dragons by John Butterfield, Philip Parker, and David Honigmann. It is was also published in the U.S. in 1984. An extensive overview of the book by a long-time fan of it can be found on-line here.

One notable feature of this book is a sample dungeon called The Shrine of Kollchap, which the same fan has transcribed and posted here.
