The Companions The Cataclysm & The War of the Lance The current year for our Dragonlance campaign is set during 351 AC "After Cataclysm". Inspired By Trampas Whiteman

Elora Dawn’s story began with her awakening in a muddy ditch along a lonely road in northeastern Abanasinia beside the burned remains of three wagons and the corpses of travelers and goblins alike, with no memory of who she was or how she survived. The only clue to her identity was the name “Elora Dawn” engraved on a money pouch she carried. After reaching the settlement of Ravenvale and taking refuge at the Ravenvale Inn, she discovered a journal among her belongings that she had apparently begun only days before the attack, allowing her to piece together fragments of her personality and past. From its pages, Elora learned she was intelligent, logical, outspoken, and fiercely loyal, though prone to moments of sharp sarcasm and hidden insecurity beneath her confident exterior. Driven by a need to prove herself worthy, she strives for excellence in all things while remaining focused and dependable. Though her lost memories continue to torment her, Elora has found peace traveling the wilds of Abanasinia, developing a deep love for nature and the people of the land while journeying alongside companions who accepted her despite her mysterious past. In her search for identity and purpose, she has also been struggling to find her faith as well, hoping that both faith and adventure may one day reveal the truth of who she truly is.

« 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.
