The plot of "Palace of the Silver Princess" is not particularly unusual, revolving around a country frozen in time by a strange red light. The only seemingly unaffected location, and the apparent source of the glow, is the royal palace. Your adventurers must restore the flow of time and save the country. In short, nothing most D&D veterans haven't seen before. What ''is'' unusual about "Palace of the Silver Princess" is its history, much of which is recounted in exhaustive detail in B3. Palace of the Silver Princess , a fascinating article on the official Wizards Of The Coast website. In brief, the original version of the module, which had an orange cover instead of the now-familiar forest green, was recalled on the eve of its publication, after a TSR senior executive flipped through it and ordered all copies to be recalled and the artwork to be replaced. All copies of the orange-covered version were consigned to a local landfill, a new version was published shortly thereafter with a different-colored cover, new interior art, and certain edits made for the sake of playability, and that was that. A popular myth says that the recall was made due to objectionable art, but as can be seen on the link above, it was only mild compared to some of TSR other handbooks. However, as it happens, a number of TSR staffers had received preview copies of the original version, which were carefully hidden away, and are now worth a respectable amount of money to the avid collector.
