Nights Dark Terror

Nights Dark Terror

Dungeons & Dragons B/X, Dungeons & Dragons 1e | Campaign

About the adventure

Barely a day’s march from Kelven lie the shadowed, uncharted reaches of the Dymrak Forest an ancient woodland cloaked in mystery and steeped in dread. Whispers tell of unspeakable horrors that haunt its depths, where death comes swiftly to the unwary. By day, the woods are grim; by night, they are worse than the darkest dungeon. Few return from its heart, and those who do speak of things best left unspoken. But you are no ordinary travelers. You are adventurers seasoned, battle-hardened, and driven by a hunger for discovery. The call of the wild stirs in your blood. Will you answer it, or turn back from the night’s dark terror? Night’s Dark Terror is one of the first true wilderness campaigns, offering your party the freedom to explore the rugged expanse of the Grand Duchy of Karameikos. Choose your path, chase the threads of ancient legends, and uncover the chilling truths hidden in the wilds. Survival will demand more than sword and spell you’ll need cunning, courage, and the will to press on when all seems lost. Step into Mystara, a world where gameplay is fast, deadly, and unforgettable. This campaign uses the classic B/X and Rules Cyclopedia systems where simplicity meets brutal challenge. You will start the game as a 1st level character and can progress as far as you wish as we explore the realm.

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

Combat Heavy

“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

Recruiting notes

The game will start when it reaches the minimum number of players. The game is a long running campaign please check with me after it starts to see which level the party may be on.
