Lafe's FRUA Page
Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures (FRUA) is a construction kit for making your own
Dungeons & Dragons Computer Role Playing Adventures. It is a commercial product put
out by SSI, and the games you can create are very similar to their Gold Box Series of
D&D computer games. A surprising number of people share their adventure creations on
the Internet and AOL. The FRUA construction kit is required to play any of the adventures
which people have created.
I have made some graphics and adventures for FRUA too...
Monster Combat Icons
I've created many monster icons. All I need to do is zip them up and upload them here! The
monsters include ones from AD&D, as well as ones from Creepy Crawly Creatures - my own
book of monsters. As soon as I get around to it...
Player Character Combat Icons
These combat icons are modelled after characters in my own Dungeons & Dragons
campaign. You may find some surprises when you see them. I've included a file called
OSTIAN.TLB (Ostian is the world in which my D&D campaign is set). You need to make a
backup of your CBODY.TLB file (perhaps call it cbodyorg.tlb) before you copy OSTIAN.TLB
over CBODY.TLB, just in case you want to get your original combat icons back. This is all
done in the /FRUA/DISK3 directory.
I've included an index file in text format just so you'll know who some of these
scoundrels are!
I also have these combat icons in *.ICN format, if you want to import individual ones
to your existing set, as well as in *.PCX Small Combat Icon format, in case you want to
import them as Monsters or NPC's. Just ask!
Not all of the available slots have been filled yet, but I plan on finishing them
soon.

Modules I'm Currently Designing
- DESERT BOUND Your characters are kidnapped and stranded in
the cruel desert. You must find your way back home before all is lost.
I thought of releasing a demo of the first level of this adventure, but I didn't want
to spoil the fun.
Future Modules Planned
- Castle Amber (based on Module X2) I would like somebody's help in
designing segments of this adventure (perhaps the wilderness), for it will be a tremendous
undertaking.
- The Inn of Secrets (an amalgamation of many ideas: The House of
Secrets DC comic book, Fighting Fantasy's House of Hell, Poe's House of Usher, Masque of
the Red Death, Jumanji, The Haunted Inn, Nightmare on the 13th Floor, Ghost Light, Murder
by Death, CLUE boardgame, and last but not least --The Shining)
