Image a bygone age, where once proud armies stood mighty and tall in lead-alloyed pewter miniature brigades. Now imagine a god amongst men rewriting the annals of gaming history with three little brown books based on those tabletop miniatures wargames.

Image, if you will, an age when "heroes" were nothing more than opportunistic fighters, who may do good deeds, but generally as a byproduct of their quest for riches and glory. Or the selfless cleric out on a witch hunt, or a temple mission to reclaim a lost holy relic. Or maybe the mage who has heard of lost magics somewhere in the dark depths of the goblin-infested caverns. That was the age of Dungeons & Dragons. An entire fantasy universe wrapped up in three tiny little brown paperback books and a table full of imaginations. My goal is to recreate this era of gaming at my own table, using possibly the greatest of original D&D retroclones.

The game will be a lot of dungeon crawling, some wilderness crawl, and even the occasional city shenanigans. The game will be overall lighthearted and fun. Some intense dark moments may ensue, but in general the intention is not a serious game. Characters deaths may - and most likely will - occur on occasion, in classic old-school deadly style, so character development through progression is recommended over elaborate backstory. Some bookkeeping may be expected as resource management is often crucial for survival.

If you've been looking to break away from modern tradition and see what gaming was like for the most hardened veterans of the hobby, then please do apply! Beginners welcome!
