The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror (EX2) is an adventure module, written for use with the first edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game. It is set in the World of Greyhawk campaign setting.

Plot summary

In this module, the player characters (PCs) plummet into a strange partial plane. The module was written by Gary Gygax and illustrated by Jim Holloway. It was published by TSR in 1983 as a 32-page booklet with an outer folder.

Russell Grant Collins reviewed The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror for Fantasy Gamer magazine and stated that, "In conclusion, I find it hard to recommend this module except to people who simply adore [Lewis Carroll] and would like to see an adventure based on his works. I personally think that a good change-of-pace adventure could be created using the [Alice in Wonderland] books as a source, but I'd be inclined to make it of a lower level."

Anders Swenson reviewed both Dungeonland and The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror for Different Worlds magazine and stated that "Given the limits of AD&D, this is not a bad job. The idea, of course, is not to rewrite Alice but to construct a fantasy role-playing game with encounters similar to those found in the two sourcebooks. And, with this perspective in mind, the two adventures succeed nicely. I would rate these two modules as excellent, certainly among the most imaginative adventures published in our hobby."
