    May 1980 The Dragon feature a module, a special inclusion, or some other out-of-the- ordinary ingredient. It’s still a bargain when you stop to think that a regular commercial module, purchased separately, would cost even more than that—and for your three bucks, you’re getting a whole lot of magazine besides. 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. This month’s kaleidoscopic cover comes to us from the talented Darlene Pekul, and serves as your p, up and away in May! That’s the catch-phrase for first look at Jasmine, Darlene’s fantasy adventure strip, which issue #37 of The Dragon. In addition to going up in makes its debut in this issue. The story she’s unfolding promises to quality and content with still more new features this be a good one; stay tuned. month, TD has gone up in another way: the price. As observant subscribers, or those of you who bought Holding down the middle of the magazine is The Pit of The this issue in a store, will have already noticed, we’re now asking $3 Oracle, an AD&D game module created by Stephen Sullivan. It for TD. From now on, the magazine will cost that much whenever we was the second-place winner in the first International Dungeon Design Competition, and after looking it over and playing through it, we think you’ll understand why it placed so high.

  • 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.

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.
