The Fearless DM

Greetings adventurers,

DDXP approaches this year and as you may know, we judges are encouraged to submit our homegrown adventures as well as classic D&D.

This year at DDXP, I am running some SPEC4-2 (which is Living Realms), as well as a few original adventures of my own, but I got it into my mind to go back to some of the classic adventures (and rules) of my youth. AD&D1e was my game. At one point I knew this game back and forth. I could tell you what page the combat tables were on from memory (pg 75 or so, DMG), and I could tell you how to generate your starting 4 spells, (1 offensive, 1 defensive, 1 miscellaneous, plus read magic, there’s a little table..)

But I realized I’m a bit out of practice with AD&D… And I also realized many of you have never even played AD&D. Well, nows your chance! The great thing about AD&D is you won’t need an extensive knowledge of the rules, just the ability to think, describe, and imagine.

So in December I am running my AD&D events as a sort of ‘Slot Zero’

Please check out http://warhorn.net/GamesAndStuffLFR/schedule/day.php?date=2011-12-08 to sign up for AD&D C1 Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan. I know many of you are familiar enough with the adventure, so I am making a few changes and additions to keep it fresh. Also, the original allows for up to 3 players, but I will have a stack of pregens, or you can roll your own level 5 character and take a roll on my own magic item table.

AD&D 1E Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan
Deep in tropical jungle, southeast of the Holds of the Sea Princes, an expedition of adventurers stumble into the ancient and overgrown Olman ruin of Tamoachan- and find themselves in the basement of an ancient temple dedicated to the mysterious and forgotten gods of the Olman. Together the heroes must work to find their way out of the lower levels of a forgotten temple that has become a deathtrap over time. Treasure, mystery, and exploration await!This adventure is using the original AD&D 1st Edition Tournament rules! No experience necessary.. Pregens are provided, or you can generate a level 5 AD&D character on the spot (and take a free roll on our magic equipment table!). Slight changes and additions have been made to key areas to throw off spoilers and to allow for up to 6 player rather than the original trio.

On the 15th of December I am following that up with Dwellers of the Forbidden City as a part 2. As you may know, the Forbidden City isn’t actually located near the Hold of the Sea Princes so I have made a few changes to make it all fit. You may use the same character from tamoachan as you do in the Forbidden City.

So if you are interested in playing Dwellers of the Forbidden City, it runs on December 15th. Sign up here: http://warhorn.net/GamesAndStuffLFR/schedule/day.php?date=2011-12-15

AD&D I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City
After escaping from the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan (or not..) the remnants of a jungle expedition into the tropical jungles southeast of the Holds of the Sea Princes finds its way to the outskirts of a ruined Forbidden City. The city- now inhabited by the Yuan-ti and their degenerate servants- the Mongrelmen and theTasloi— is rumored to hold riches of Olman gold and the fabled artifact of a long forgotten Serpent Goddess. The adventurers must make their way into the city and confront the strange “goddess” of the Yuan-ti, said to rule the tunnel “in the flesh”. This adventure is using the original AD&D 1st Edition Tournament rules! No experience necessary.. Pregens are provided, or you can generate a level 5 character on the spot (and take a free roll on our magic equipment table!). Slight changes and additions have been made to key areas to throw off spoilers. You may use the same character from AD&D C1

The games are free! Thursday, 5PM-9PM at Games & Stuff in Glen Burnie, the upstairs gaming area has been newly refurbished!
