The World of Mystara Full Zoom Map Classic Map

"Welcome to Mystara, a world of ancient kingdoms, dangerous wilderness, forgotten ruins, and endless adventure. Across its lands, powerful empires struggle to maintain order while monsters, raiders, and dark forces lurk beyond the safety of civilization.

From bustling cities and thriving ports to isolated frontier towns hidden beside deep forests and jagged mountains, Mystara is a realm where fortune and danger walk side by side.

In Mystara, adventurers carve their names into history by exploring lost ruins, battling ancient evils, and uncovering secrets buried beneath the world for centuries. Mighty warriors, cunning rogues, wise clerics, and powerful wizards all play their part in shaping the fate of kingdoms.

Whether seeking glory, treasure, or survival, every journey into the unknown carries the promise of legend―and the risk of death."

« 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 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 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 various adventures tied to create long lasting campaigns which will help create "our own" Mystara & the Known World 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.
