The Realm of No!

The Realm of No! (Q1) is an adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. There is no module code as this work was submitted but not published by TSR.

The Realm of No! is an unpublished adventure module for the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game set in the World of Greyhawk. Gary Gygax could not believe anyone at TSR would be interested in such a module.]"The Realm of No!" was originally hand printed and later typed and submitted to TSR in an amount of 10 copies. These 10 copies are printed on heavy stock paper and are signed, numbered and dated by the author Kim Ryan. This module was originally written in 1984 but printed and submitted to T.S.R. in 1985. It is believed that the first 6 of the 10 copies were submitted with a hand written letter to Gary Gygax. While it is claimed that this module was submitted to TSR, Gary Gygax was not overseeing and creative submissions.

"The Realm of No!" takes place in the Kingdom of King Bill who has gained power by his discovery of The NO! Staff. King Bill has enslaved the new races he has created with his staff and savagely holds onto his power by any means possible.

"The Realm of No!" incorporates radically silly creatures such as the V8 monster and the Tomato Warrior into the Dungeons & Dragons landscape and which also parodies people and items from the mid 1980's. At the very end of the module, the players face a final confrontation with King Bill and realize who in is friend and foe & what is true and not true.

Unfortunately and without official reason, "The Realm of No!" was embraced by the staff at T.S.R. at the time but was never released. The was possible due to the strange nature of the module.

Through staff changes and company changes within T.S.R. in the later 1980's and early to mid 1990's, the 10 Realm of No! modules found their way into private collections of some T.S.R. staff and into collectors collections in the United States, Germany, and Canada. The locations of the ten The Realm of No! Modules are unknown aside from lordan's and Degassy31copies.

In 2004, a member of The Acaeum, known as lordan posted information on his 4 of 10 The Realm of No! and inquiring about its value and origin. It is unknown whether he sold his copy or threw it in the garbage.
