It's a suckage of an adventure anyway that no one ever played. To me, a beat up
G3 is worth more.

Hold on there Jon-
I am not questioning the value of a
G3(not a bad adventure) and I doubt I can change your opinion that the adventure sucks...
But I can tell you that you are wrong when you say no one ever played it.
I ran Jade Hare in my ongoing long-term Mystara campaign, as a one-on-one adventure with one of the players who took a detour through Ylaruam.
And he liked it.
This guy wasn't a
newbie either, but a long-time gaming veteran. He didn't know until afterward that he had played a module that was worth $100+ on the market. I did mention that he was probably only one of a handful who ever had.
His campaign notes on that adventure, which are always amusing, was even submitted to an internet webzine as part of a contest. If people want, I could try and find it to post here, although half the fun is knowing what he is talking about by being familiar with the module.
The reason I was able to pull this off is because the adventure was written for those who know the old Gazeteer supplement GAZ 2 Emirates of Ylaruam. Having read GAZ 2 several times, I realized the Jade Hare description had a little "easter egg" reference to GAZ 2, so I used that to tie it in with the town of Kirkuk described in GAZ 2. It was one of three adventures I ran in that country for him, the middle one, so it proceeded smoothly once I integrated it.
I confirmed this easter
egg with the author, John Nephew of Atlas Games, a couple of years ago.
