The Rolling Wheel 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

Harlen Raskin runs the Rolling Wheel, which serves the common folk of Digfel. He crafts sturdy carts and repairs shattered axles with practiced efficiency. Harlan is a good-hearted, no-nonsense craftsman who values durability and practicality over fanciness. He’s prone to muttering about how things were “built better back in my day” but secretly delights in finding ways to improve his designs.

Harlen "Old Wheel" Raskin is a 48 year old man. He is a wiry man with a bushy moustache and calloused hands, always smelling of sawdust and oil. He wears a simple work shirt and trousers, his sleeves perpetually rolled up.

Harlan has been building and repairing wagons for over thirty years and is widely considered the best wainwright in the region. His shop, the Rolling Wheel, serves the people of Digfel and also those visiting, crafting sturdy carts and repairing shattered axles with efficiency.

« 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.

« About Our Adventures »

Our campaigns will consist of multiple adventures tied together to create long lasting campaigns. These adventures will work together to create our own Dragonlance world.

We are always looking for more people that would like to play Old-School Essentials that will be "dedicated" players & DMs. We have had a rough run here at times not being able to hold on to players due to real life issues but we will continue on.
