Murderhobos For The Win: A Dungeons & Dragons Experience

Old-School Essentials | Campaign

About the adventure

Let's do this. You are a person skilled in violence of some kind, be it with weaponry, magic, skullduggery, or pleas to particularly bloody-minded gods. Your job? Seek fortune and glory atop a mound of the corpses of your enemies. The world is your oyster, you just need the might to shuck it. A roleplay-heavy experience for gamers of all stripes willing to step into the role of an old-school adventurer. Explore the world with a bloody-minded attitude. Meet strange and unusual species and figure out the best way to kill them, then take their stuff. Wonder at a world where heavily armed people wander about with little to no supervision. Set in the Known World, circa the Gazetteer era, this game is total sandbox play, including access to all the class options from Rules Cyclopedia-era Mystara! Play a pixie, a sphinx, or a troll! Suitable for gamers of all experience levels, newbies and veterans alike are welcome!

Excellent storyteller! I enjoyed a great dark ages werewolf game and I hope to play in another chronicle when my schedule permits.

Daimond J makes the sandbox style game really work in the players favor, he is great at improv and makes the story feel mysterious and cohesive, he will entertain your outlandish builds and does use the 'rule of cool' in some cases which is refreshing.

I'm an old school VtM player. So is he, despite being a bit younger. He is an inspired plot and describer of scenes. Good roleplay of NPCs. He is willing to entertain more exotic builds, for those who cannot find joy in a vanilla character. My only quibble? I like to know what The Rules are. While I understand there is RAW and then there is RAI, the latter still requires an encyclopedic knowledge of editions one to four (this is V20 -4th), or at least any single edition being used. This has not been the case.

Always have a great time playing with Diamond J! It’s great to have an Storyteller whose well versed on various aspects of the lore and has all the books to prove it! He weaves a fantastic storyline while also providing a large sandbox for your character to explore and wreak mayhem in! Whether your into the World of Darkness franchise or D&D I highly recommend trying out one of his many campaigns for yourself! :-)

Diamond J is the most entertaining DM I've ever had. He really knows how to paint a scene and also easily plays along with whatever nonsense the players might attempt. His knowledge of the world of Mystara makes the world feel real and alive. If you enjoy the role playing and exploration parts of DND, you will love playing in Diamond J's games.

How will character creation work

Character creation in the classic sense. No prep necessary- you find out who your PC is at the roll of the dice! Forget what you think you know- an Int 6 wizard is fine, just not so good with the multilingualism!
