B/X D&D: In Search of the Unknown (Classic Campaign)
Dungeons & Dragons B/X | Campaign
About the adventure
Long ago, a group of legendary heroes, led by the ferocious warrior Rogahn the Fearless, ventured into the uttermost north, facing mighty armies of barbarians, ogres, orcs and foul undead, protecting the lands from endless evil. The fate of these heroes is lost to the mists of time, the location of their hidden sanctuary forgotten; but this dungeon contains the wealth of ages, powerful magic, mysterious arcane lore, the chance for untold wonders and glory for any with the courage to seek it out, to go In Search of the Unknown. Beyond the dungeon lie endless other adventures; visit the Keep on the Borderlands and the Village of Hommlet, play dice with rogues and renegades in the Blue Frog Tavern, explore White Plume Mountain and the perils of the Haunted Keep. Endless opportunities for gold and glory await those with the courage to seek them, though danger and death await the reckless and foolhardy in equal measure. This campaign is a chance to enjoy some of the greatest adventures of the classic era of Dungeons and Dragons, playing with original B/X D&D rules. A perfect chance to experience old-school roleplaying with more modern sensibilities, as close as you are ever going to get to slinging dice at the table when these great classics first appeared. Perfect for those who have never played before and those who have been delving into dungeons for decades, this will be a role-playing heavy sandbox campaign, the players and the DM working together to weave a narrative in a classic fantasy style. The campaign, as well as others taking place within the same setting, will be chronicled in its own weekly fanzine, Bree-Yark!, which will serve as a permanent record of each session. No rules knowledge needed; all you need is pencil and paper, and a burning desire for adventure!

How to prepare
Players will be given a link to the group's Discord server before the game begins, ensure you have a functioning webcam and microphone as well as pencil and paper; handouts will be provided prior to game start. No rulebooks are necessary; just bring your sense of adventure!
What I provide
Thirty years of experience as a DM and ten years as a novelist, a collection of classic material, a set of dice, and my imagination. Whilst I generally run Rules as Written, there will be a few house rules added, and B/X is very friendly to the Rule of Cool in any case. Combats will be run using Theatre of the Mind.
