The World of Greyhawk Full Zoom Map Classic Map

The World of Greyhawk All right, gather 'round, adventurers, and listen up! You've stumbled into the World of Greyhawk, the granddaddy of all Dungeons & Dragons settings—the place where it all began, and let me tell you, it's a world that doesn't mess around.

Forget those clean, neat stories; this is a gritty, gray-toned land of clashing empires, political backstabbing, and legendary dungeons just waiting to be plundered by those brave enough to enter. Evil is a real, tangible threat here, not just some faceless menace, and the balance between good and evil is a fragile thing indeed.

You can choose to be a hero, a villain, or just a pragmatic mercenary looking to get rich—your story is your own to write in this open-ended sandbox. You'll travel through lands still scarred by ancient wars and filled with deep, ancient history. And when you cast a spell like Mordenkainen's Faithful Hound or see a Hand of Vecna on the horizon, you'll know you're touching upon the very history of the world itself. The iconic Free City of Greyhawk is a bustling hub of trade, secrets, and shadowy factions like the infamous Scarlet Brotherhood and the powerful Circle of Eight, who are constantly pulling the strings of nations from the shadows.

So, whether you're looking to delve into the legendary Tomb of Horrors, navigate the deadly politics of the Flanaess, or just make a name for yourselves, Greyhawk is the place to be—but don't get too comfortable, because trouble is always just around the corner.

« Old-School Essentials »

Old-School Essentials is a tabletop role-playing game that builds upon the core rules of the B/X Essentials, B/X and BECMI game systems. It incorporates elements and options from Advanced Dungewons & 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 and 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 many others.
• Expanded Content: It includes additional magical items, spells, and monsters, adding more depth and complexity to the game.
• Flexible Gameplay: The game offers optional rules for 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 very easy to learn and even reference during play.
• House Ruling: With it being completely compatible with systems like AD&D 1st edition, BECMI, BX and "to an extent" AD&D 2nd edition it is easy to include house rules, mechanics and outside rules from these systems.

« About Our Adventures »

Our campaigns will consist of adventures tied together to create long lasting campaigns. These adventures will work together to create "our own" World of Greyhawk campaign setting.

We are always looking for more people that would like to join us that will be "dedicated" players & DMs.

We are very rusty to online play and have been away from the game for a long time so, if you can tolerate some mistakes being made while we learn then please give us a shout out.

If you think that you would like to join us in our adventures, you can comment on any of the posts on this blog or the comment section located here.
