Encounters Reference Classic Dungeon Designer’s Netbook #4 OLD SCHOOL ENCOUNTERS REFERENCE This unauthorized reference sourcebook contains everything the Dungeon Master needs for designing encounters for 1st edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons™ adventures conveniently organized for online and tabletop use. Also compatible with OSRIC. Written & Edited by B. Scot Hoover [email protected] Version 3 Revised (7.28.08) - 0 - TABLE of CONTENTS Prologue 2 Abbreviation Codes 3 Chapter I: Men 4 Chapter II: Demi-humans & Humanoids 50 Chapter III: The Underworld 66 Chapter IV: The Wilderness 81 Chapter V: Settlements & Civilization 103 Chapter VI: Treasures 113 Chapter VII: The Campaign 135 Chapter VIII: Forms & Appendices 144 Index 156 - 1 - PROLOGUE: On Designing Your Own Game Non-player character generation will generally follow the method(s) used to create PCs. However, there are necessary shortcuts and parcels of information included in a carefully done game, or else the poor GM will be forever immersed in the morass of finding out the precise nature of who his players meet, who opposes them, and the like. It should not be necessary for the GM to roll dice to determine all the attribute scores of every non-player character, for instance. The game must include provisions for defining NPCs so that they can be generated quickly, but without causing every such character to be a mirror image of every other one. Although it is a relatively short and minor part of any game, this area is still interesting, for it will show just how well thought out the design is. Opponents are the creatures and things that will generally be adverse, at best non- hostile, to the PCs. Enemy NPCs fall into this category but have already been considered in the preceding paragraph. The flora and fauna of the game milieu, the detection devices used to spot them, booby traps, enemy weapons, and the like are covered in this broad area. Anything that can be encountered and must thereafter be dealt with should be quantified in this section of the rules. How much damage does a certain creature cause when it attacks, and how many hit points of damage can it absorb before it is killed? Do certain creatures normally appear in groups, or singly? Is a certain creature more likely to be found in one type of terrain or climate than another? If a creature or character falls into a pit or is buffeted by an avalanche of rocks, how much damage does the victim suffer? If a plant has leaves that are poisonous, what effect do they have on a character or creature that ingests them? This area of the rules can be very, very broad in a science fiction or fantasy game. In the AD&D game, three full-size books are devoted entirely to brief descriptions of the plants and animals that may populate the game world, and it is a fairly easy matter for someone familiar with the game to devise his own creations to replace or supplement this roster. That is one of the charms of selecting a genre that is not tied very closely to the real world; there is always a new alien beast or race, a new monster to discover and deal with. - Excerpt from Role-Playing Mastery, by E.

Readers without access to the out-of-print sourcebooks should instead refer to the compatible OSRIC rules, which are freely available for download on the internet at http://knights-n-knaves.com/ - 3 - CHAPTER I: MEN Your Player Character Some inferences about the goals of a specific game system can be drawn from an examination of the types of characters available for players to portray, and from a deeper look into the fundamental structure for the selection and development of PCs. The different character types may be defined by profession, with little or no crossover in skills from one profession to another. For instance, the fighter and the magic-user are two of the character professions in the AD&D game. A fighter is unable to cast magic spells and relies mainly on his strength and weapon prowess, while a magic-user is quite the opposite-a character who can cast spells and whose skill in this area is far superior to his physical skills. The AD&D game uses a character system based on profession, or “class.” In that game, the direct, highly physical approach is embodied in the fighter and cavalier classes. The magic-user class offers the indirect, possibly intellectual approach- a sort of mixture of artillery and super-science. Between these two extremes lies the cleric class, with its mixture of direct and indirect action (being able to use both heavy weapons and heavy magic). Finally, the thief class presents a manner of approach that is basically individualistic and unobserved (as differing from indirect). Of course, other PC types and the nonhuman races add to the mix. If the AD&D game has a single obvious shortcoming, it is the attempt to present so many facets of the whole world to its participants that players lose sight of the reason for all these classes of PCs. Because the game is so extensively detailed and reflects a fantasy milieu in world-scale terms, there is no meaningful level of character success that is achievable with respect to the world community. That is, no matter how powerful a PC becomes, the choices for the player are but two: Continue to use the character as an adventurer, or retire the character from active play and have the figure become a tool for use by the Game Master (GM). - Excerpt from Roleplaying Mastery by E. Gary Gygax The following chapter is divided into several sub-sections that are designed to allow the Dungeon Master to quickly and completely detail one or more Non-player or Player Characters. Below are instructions for using each type of table: Pre-generated NPC Assortments by Class: The DM can either select an appropriate character or roll randomly. The lists also note magic items possessed by the character which should generated separately. The listings include the following: Clerics, Druids, Fighters, Paladins, Rangers, Magic Users, Illusionists, Thieves, Assassins, Multi-class Characters, Bards, Monks, and Sages. NPC Details: The DM can use these tables to generate additional details for certain NPCs as needed. These are entirely optional, and the DM may use or ignore them as required. NPC Experience & Progression: These tables offer a simple method for NPC progression over time. Specific instructions for using the tables are provided on page 26. Boons & Disabilities: Good and bad qualities for further detailing of NPCs. The DM should refer to this table as directed by the NPC Experience and Progression results. NPC Motivations: Simple cross-reference tables for generating basic character motivations. Roll on the motivation column once to determine the primary motivating factor. Roll again and cross reference to find the motivating action. (Ex: First roll 12 (Location) and second roll 9 (Keep). The character is motivated to keep or protect a certain location (probably a lair). Human Groups: Generation tables for groups of humans and their equipment as per the descriptions in the AD&D Monster Manual. For additional information, refer to CDD#1 – Old School Monster Statblock Reference. The listings include the following: Bandits & Brigands, Berserkers, Buccaneers & Pirates, Border Patrols, Caravans, Guards, Pilgrims, Watchmen, and Normal Men. Finally, there is an assortment of pre- generated NPC adventuring parties. In most cases, several possible party alignments are noted for flexibility of use in-game. Spellbook Assortments for NPC Magic Users: Pre-generated spellbook assortments by level are provided for fleshing-out NPC spell-casters on the fly.

The skies were the Lclearest we've had in years, giving us a chance to enjoy the beauty of the summer Milky Way, which stretched from horizon to horizon. Armed with my trusty 10x50 and 16x70 binoculars, I sat back in my reclining chair and swept the plane of our Galaxy in pursuit of some old friends and new conquests.

Vulpecula is a faint summertime constellation wedged between Cygnus (the Swan) to the north and Sagitta (the Arrow) to the south. None of Vulpecula’s stars shine brighter than magnitude 4.5, so seeing a fox here is a tall order indeed. But the sly Fox holds many binocular treasures for those who the time to seek them out. Vulpecula was created in 1687 by the Polish astronomer Johannes Hevelius. His original drawing showed a small fox carrying a hapless goose in its mouth. He called the combination Vulpecula et Anser ("the little fox and the goose").

They are understood to result from a thermonuclear detonation in a white dwarf that formed from the exhausted core of a star more massive than the Sun. However, the possible progenitor channels leading to an explosion are a long-standing debate, limiting the precision and accuracy of supernova Ia as distance indicators. Here we present HD 265435, a binary system with an orbital period of less than a hundred minutes, consisting of a white dwarf and a hot subdwarf — a stripped core-helium burning star.

It should be pointed out that subscribers can still get a year’s worth of TD for only $2 per issue. Hint, hint . And now, on to the good news.

  • The Lost Kenku
    THE LOST KENKU Illustrated and Written By Shawn Wood Note from the Author o say this is a loosely constructed adventure may be an exaggeration of some degree. However, some patron saint of children requested a pdf of my adventure notes. So, here we are. I’ve use one version or another of this adventure to introduce people to the D&D experi- ence as it has all the elements of a good game with very little ramp up time needed. The adventure structure is created in such a way to allow for as much or as little combat is desired. Encounters can be changed to suit a lvl1 cam- paign, and with a little imagination I imagine one could have fun altering it for a party in the high teens. Some nice paintings of Ancient Dragons and Neoliths may be in order. Have fun with it. Change, add, or remove monsters, items, and characters as you see fit. A special thanks to the wonderful donors of the Extra Life Charity and the Dungeons and Dragons Team. Together we can manage to do a little bit of good in this mind-flayer-run world. 2 | THE LOST KENKU | A 2017 EXTRA LIFE ADVENTURE Wizard of Weirding Mind Flayer Alhoon The Wizard Weirding is a mind flayer alhoon in dis- guise. It uses disguise self to appear as a male human wizard named Weirding. Long ago, it left the hive in search of power and immortality through magic. To blend in with the general population of Faerun, the alhoon mar- ried a human woman and adopted her child as his own.

  • The Grand Duchy of Karameikos Players Guide V1.0
    The Grand Duchy of Karameikos Players Guide v1.0 Overview This player guide is intended to give you, the player, an overview of the new world you will be exploring – Mystara and more specifically the Grand Duchy of Karameikos, the country that will be your starting area. It will give you some background for your characters and some modifications and limitations to the choices you can make at character creation based upon this campaign starting in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos. As you explore the lands of Karameikos & the rest of Mystara, discover its secrets and meet new races and cultures more options will open for you as players. History This is the land's history as known to the peoples of Karameikos. The first part of the history is recorded in an epic work of poetry of the Traldar (Traladara) people, "The Song of King Halav." This is an ancient work maintained by generations of bards before finally being committed to writing about six centuries ago. The Song of King Halav In ancient times, the land now called Karameikos was the forest homeland of the Traldar, men and women so favoured by the Immortals and allowed to live in these beautiful lands. The Immortals let the Traldar live happy, simple lives. The Traldar fished and hunted; the men spent most of their time sporting with one another and offering praise to the Immortals. But the Immortals knew that the happiness of the Traldar was to end. Far to the west, a race of evil beast-men was preparing to march through the easterly lands in search of booty, prisoners and more hospitable homelands.
