Realms of Horror contains four adventure scenarios collected from previously published modules coded S1 through S4, which have been reformatted into a connected adventure campaign.[1]
The "S," standing for "Special,"[2] in the series' name is the first part of the alphanumeric code used to indicate related modules. The four S–series modules were released over the four-year period between 1978 and 1982.
S1-4 Realms of Horror was written by Gary Gygax and Lawrence Schick with Wm. John Wheeler, with a cover by Larry Elmore, and was published by TSR in 1987 as an 80-page book, a 48-page art booklet, a 16-page map booklet, and an outer folder.[1]
