"Welcome friends! Join us as we step into the wondrous campaign setting known as the Forgotten Realms, a world created by none other than the grandfather of the Realms himself — Ed Greenwood. Our default year will be 1340 DR but we play between 1328 DR ― 1358 DR, or Dale Reckoning depending on the campaign we are in.

The Forgotten Realms is a gateway to adventure, wealth and fame. Within the realms, the magical & otherworldly are always close at hand. Standing stones loom in glades hallowed by pagan cults of yesteryear.

Ley lines pulse beneath the earth, their potent arcane energy tapped by greedy sorcerers. Doorways to the perilous realm of Fairy allow transit between worlds, for those charmed or blessed by the lords of the Elflands.

Join with us as we journey into a world of high fantasy where dragons are abound, where great kingdoms rise and fall & where heroes are made. Walk with us as we explore the unknown in search of great treasures, dangerous foes and legendary deeds.

This makes for an exciting time to be a brave adventurer where anything can and will happen. Step into our dangerous & magical world and watch us usher in a new and exciting era, full of possibilities for both good & evil . . ."

« Old-School Essentials »

Old-School Essentials is a tabletop role-playing game that builds upon the core rules of B/X Essentials and Old-School Essentials (OSE) Advanced Fantasy. It incorporates elements and options from AD&D 1st Edition, such as additional classes, races, spells, and monsters, while maintaining the simpler, more streamlined rules of Basic/Expert "B/X" D&D.

Key features:
OSE is a retroclone, meaning it's designed to emulate the feel and mechanics of older versions of Dungeons & Dragons.

• B/X Foundation: It retains the core mechanics and feel of the original B/X D&D, which was popular in the 1980s & is still widely played to this day.
• AD&D Integration: It includes optional rules, classes, races, and spells from AD&D 1st Edition, allowing players to experience a wider range of character options and game elements.
• Character Variety: Players can choose from a broader array of character classes and races, including options like drow, duergar, gnome, & half-elf, among others.
• Expanded Content: It includes additional magic items, spells, and monsters, adding more depth & complexity to the game.
• Flexible Gameplay: The game offers optional rules for character creation, combat, and spell acquisition, allowing for a more tailored experience.
• Modern Layout: Necrotic Gnome uses a modern layout and clear presentation, making it easy to learn and reference during play.
• House Ruling: With it being compatible with systems like AD&D, BECMI, BX and "to an extent" AD&D 2nd edition it is easy to house rule in mechanics and rules from these systems.

In essence, Old-School Essentials is a popular and well-regarded choice for players and referees looking for a clear, accessible, and authentic way to experience classic Dungeons & Dragons gameplay, with an emphasis on exploration, improvisation, and a sense of danger.

« About Our Adventures »

Our campaigns will consist of multiple adventures linked together to create long lasting campaigns. These adventures will work to create "our own" Forgotten Realms campaign setting.

We are always looking for more players as well as DMs that would like to join us and be "dedicated" players & DMs. We have had a rough run here at times not being able to hold onto players due to real life issues or players just not being motivated enough to be serious players.

We are very rusty to online play with Dungeons & Dragons & have also been away from the game for a long time so, if you can tolerate some mistakes being made while we relearn all of this then please give us a shout out.

If you would like to join us in our adventures, you can drop us a post at the comment section located here.
