Teagel Manor The World of Greyhawk & The World of Greyhawk Wiki The current year for our World of Greyhawk campaign is set during 579CY. Inspired By Gary Gygax

Eighteen years ago, Teagel Manor "located south of Orlane, near the northern part of the Oyt Forest", was the residence of Lord Vincent Teagel, a local lord and former adventurer who eventually retired, built an extravagant manor house for himself to live out the rest of his days in peace, living off of his accumulated wealth from his days of slaying monsers and killing dragons.

Eleven years ago, lord Teagel dissappeared without a trace never to be heard from again. His disappearance came as a shock to those who knew him because he frequently visited the settlement of Orlane to visit friends and then one day, he was just gone. For a time, a search and investigation was conducted but with no success.

No clues were found to explain his disappearance and eventually everyone gave up on finding him. The manor has sat empty for just over eleven years and over time many foul creatures have been seen going into the ruins. Legends state that lord Teagel excavated beneath the manor and stored much of his accumulated fortune within the tunnels but no one has ever been able to verify if this is true or not and since it is now overrun with all sorts of foul beasts, this legend may never be verified.

« 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.
