Welcome to the IWD forum, Duke Hereward!! [img]graemlins/happywave.gif[/img]

I'm in U.S.A., so not an expert to answer your question; but can guess, from what is happening here, that the only repeatable way of getting HoW might be to purchase it with IWD. That's the bad news. The good news is that this game is now considered old enough that you can probably get both for much less than you would have paid just for HoW a year ago.

Legolas, Trials of the Lure Master (often abbreviated TOTL, TOTM TOLM, ToTL, TotLM, etc.) is a downloaded expansion that you can only access if you have purchased HoW expansion to IWD. HoW is a WONDERFUL upgrade of IWD, but got some criticism in the category of additional playing area. TotLM adds more adventuring area, bolstering the only area in which HoW was percieved as weak. In addition, TotLM does the final patching of HoW/IWD; so if you install IWD, then HoW, then TotLM; then no other patching should be necessary.

Party On!
