The World of Krynn Map of Ansalon Abanasinia Map

Dragons of Sorrow "For 350 years, the world of Krynn has suffered under the weight of the Cataclysm. The wrath of the gods shattered the continent of Ansalon, burying once-proud empires and leaving the land scarred and desolate. In the time since, humanity has scraped by in the so-called "Age of Despair," a time of superstition, paranoia, and fractured societies. The divine withdrew from the world, and with them went true clerical magic. In its place, charlatans and false prophets emerged, twisting the memory of the old gods for their own gain.

In this age of fading light, a deep, pervasive dread has settled across the land like a suffocating shroud. Rumors and whispers of war brewing in the east, of towns mysteriously emptied, of the very air growing heavy with unease—have begun to circulate more frequently. The talk is grim, with merchants speaking of trade routes growing more dangerous by the day.

You have seen the signs with the once-familiar constellations shifting in the night sky. The whispers in taverns speak of things thought to be myth: winged horrors in the dark and armies of corrupted soldiers marching under the banners of a shadowed queen. The Seekers, who promised faith, now offer only fear.

Everyone seems to be holding their breath and exchanging worried glances, and the air itself feels heavy with unspoken anxieties and fear.

The message is clear: things are changing, and not for the better. The peace that everyone has taken for granted is fracturing, and some say the war is already here, a quiet tension waiting for the first drop of blood.

« Old School Essentials »

Old-School Essentials is a tabletop role-playing game that builds upon the core rules of B/X Essentials and Old-School Essentials (OSE) Classic Fantasy. It incorporates elements and options from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition, such as additional classes, races, spells, and monsters, while maintaining the simpler, more streamlined rules of Basic/Expert "B/X" D&D.

Key features:
Old-School Essentials is a retroclone, meaning it's designed to emulate the feel and mechanics of older versions of Dungeons & Dragons.

• B/X Foundation: It retains the core mechanics and feel of the original B/X D&D, which was popular in the 1980s & is still widely played to this day.
• AD&D Integration: It includes optional rules, classes, races, and spells from AD&D 1st Edition, allowing players to experience a wider range of character options and game elements.
• Character Variety: Players can choose from a broader array of character classes and races, including options like drow, duergar, gnome, and half-elf, among others.
• Expanded Content: It includes additional magic items, spells, and monsters, adding more depth and complexity to the game.
• Flexible Gameplay: The game offers optional rules for things like character creation, combat, and spell acquisition, allowing for a more tailored experience.
• Modern Layout: Necrotic Gnome uses a modern layout and clear presentation, making it easy to learn and reference during play.
• House Ruling: With it being compatible with systems such as AD&D, BECMI, BX and "to an extent" AD&D 2nd edition it is easy to house rule in mechanics and rules from these systems.
