About the adventure
🚨IF YOU GREW UP IN THE 1980's PLAYING AD&D AND YEARN FOR THE LOOK AND FEEL OF THE ORIGINAL GAME, THIS TABLE IS FOR YOU!🚨 This table is for those who want to revisit playing 1st edition modules with the new 2024 Players Handbook! The list below are the 1st edition modules that will be run during the campaign. They are in alphabetical order and not the order they will be run at this table. However, the first that I will run is B2 - KEEP ON THE BORDERLANDS (Yes, technically this is not an AD&D module but a D&D module - but it is the first module I ever DM'd over 40 years ago and the "Caves of Chaos" really set the standard on a dungeon crawl type of adventure!)😎 After that, it is up to the current players in the campaign...the table is a "first come - first served" type of deal and those at the table at the end of a module get to decide what is run next. That is the way we did it back in the 80's. The image above tells you what module is currently being played. Here is the list of modules I intend to run: ❌ B2 Keep on the Borderlands (Complete) ❌ A1 Slave Pits of the Undercity (Complete) ❌ A2 Secret of the Slaver's Stockade (Complete) ⏳ A3 Assault on the Aerie of the Slave Lords ✔️ A4 In the Dungeons of the Slave Lords ✔️ D1-2 Descent into the Depths of the Earth ✔️ D3 Vault of the Drow ✔️ G1-3 Against the Giants ✔️ I6 Ravenloft ✔️ Q-1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits ✔️ S-1 Tomb of Horrors ❌ S-2 White Plume Mountain (In Progress) ✔️ S-4 Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth

About me
U.S. Navy Submarine Captain that started playing D&D in 1981. Immerse yourself in challenging 3D combat that requires tactical teamwork for victory. Explore and unravel intricate story plot lines set in motion by memorable NPCs. ✔️ Amazing battlemaps are the focus, RP to tie everything together ✔️ Encourages player creativity - "Yes, you can do that!" ✔️ Unique visual aids, ambient music and sound effects 🌐 https://AdmiralAdventures.com/ 🙏 A portion of proceeds supports the Tunnel to Towers Foundation I run most of my campaigns as follows: 📚 Rules as Written (RaW) Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game. ⚔️ 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.

Creating your character
✅ As a new player, creating a character can be intimidating. Two pre-generated characters will be available to choose from if you don't want to create your own. ✅ Take this quick personality test. It will pick your two options that best suites your personality type. https://dungeons-and-dragons-mbti.netlify.app/ ✅ I will walk you through how to use the character sheet during our 1-1 introductory meeting.

What Brody | Admiral Adventures brings to the table
✅ Challenging combat (I do have a military background) ✅ Unique and amazing battlemaps ✅ Ambient music ✅ Sound effects ✅ Voice modification for major NPCs
Homebrew rules
✅ Enemy Initiative. Vice making "one roll for an entire group of identical creatures," initiative will be rolled for each individual creature or in some cases, for "a formation" of enemy combatants. ✅ Hit Dice Vice rolling the dice after a short rest (page 186 PHB page 67 of the Basic Rules), you can apply the "average" hit dice value + constitution modifier (same rule used for adding HPs when leveling up). ✅ Break Out. Some monster effects that remove a player's ability to take an action by causing them to be paralyzed, charmed, stunned, etc. can be "broken" by suffering psychic damage instead. The damage taken is based on the monster's CR
