Goodman Games

The adventure in question involves someone trying to perform a ritual that requires the use of a sword carved entirely from one large ruby. The sword wasn't magic, they just needed it for a spell. and i'm pretty sure it was TSR.

I know that's not a lot to go on but thats all i remember from it and google isn't giving me great responses

Would a stroll though Acaeum.com help? Maybe something there would jog your memory?

Looks like it was "Palace of the Silver Princess". My pre-teen brain seems to have embellished a bit on the swords importance though. And the fact that it was Basic and not AD&D. Oh well. Thanks for the info, Now i have a list of books to peruse at my leisure.
