Oh! OK. Thank you for that precision. Is there any mean to get the list of those adventures (and to potentially get them now)?

Someone with time, and good Boolean logic/regular expression skills, could pull them out of the HTML archive which subscribers received when Pyramid #2 shut down.

The problem is metadata: "Adventure" or "cliffhangers" are common keywords, and the articles with complete adventures (as opposed to reviews of someone else's adventures, or promising exciting adventures in a world of ...) do not have special markup.

A handful of those articles are available as free samples, I think staffers can turn an article into a free sample in about 5 minutes but they are busy. Otherwise, only the former subscribers have access: SJG does not think that they would sell enough to justify organizing them and putting them in a format like PDF.

OK. I understand.

Now, if those adventures are not available, I think that adding them into a list would be pointless: newcomers (or older ones) won't have access to them.

Though that's starting to change.
