H2 The Mines of Bloodstone is an Official Game Adventure or "module" for Advanced Dungeons & Dragons (1st edition).

It is a sequel to H1 Bloodstone Pass which although originally a stand alone adventure, was now to be the first in the four part Bloodstone Pass Saga. This module continued the generic campaign setting of H1, later modules in the series retconned Bloodstone into the Forgotten Realms.

The modules contains options for use of the (new at the time) Dungeoneer's Survival Guide and Wilderness Survival Guide Game Manuals. It also includes two battles where players command an army using the Battlesystem rules. For players without Battlesytem these battles can occur "off stage" while the players make a raid that otherwise occurs after the battles.
