ep. 0.5: Something New

This will (hopefully) become a space to record journal entries and information about my nascent solo Basic/Expert D&D ("BX") campaign, taking place in the Grand Duchy of Karameikos. If I'm super motivated, I'll be including some images links to video recaps, but for now let's just stick with getting things written down, shall we?

Some quick background: I've been playing and running D&D in various editions, as well as other TTPRGS, since the 70s. My preferred system is BX. I have already run a couple solo adventures using my custom setup. (I'll get into more detail about that later.) which have led the current group of heroes from Threshold to Guido's Fort (just north of Kelvin) and the site of their next adventure, TSR's B5: Horror on the Hill.

EPISODE 1: The Troopers Hit the Road

  Now we begin the current adventures with the new party! Kon has successfully been recruited. He, and his relatively full purse, are a welcome addition. Party: Toth’s Troopers Adventure: #1 “The Road to the Fort" Session Number: 3 Session Date: 3/1 /26 (Soladain, 21 Thaumont.

While they could strike out cross-country, they choose instead to play it safe and follow the river south toward Kelvin, then turn northeast up the Hillfollow to the Fort. It will take longer, but you can’t get lost following the water, and there are towns along the way. Once they reach the Guido’s Fort, they will plan their next move.

REWIND: The Eights in the Hole and the Gnome Burrow

This is the write-up from the first foray into the solo campaign. It's mostly a first draft, so there may be fixes or edits forthcoming. Maybe an image or two. I like to add bits of dialog, etc. sometime to help show the oracle at work, making narrative sense of the choices made by the party. Party: The Eights in a Hole Adventure: #1 “The Ruined Burrow” Session Number: 1 Session Date: 2/14/26 (Gromdain, Thaumont 9. AC 1000) Adventure Background: To the north of Threshold, among the hills, lies the abandoned gnome burrow of the Shimmerhorn clan. The burrow was attacked from below by kobolds and most of the gnomes were killed. Those that survived fled to Highforge. Twenty years later, the survivors and some of their kin wanted to try to reclaim the burrow, but they were not great warriors, so they hired a half dozen dwarves as guards to escort them there and help clear it out. Shortly after entering the ruins, the group was ambushed by kobolds. While the dwarves fought...

A Quick Look at my Set-Up

Image
  This is more or less what it looks like when I take over the dining room table. One thing that is not visible is a roster sheet for the PCs. It includes very basic info like AC, HP, Primary Weapon THACO & damage, etc. for each party member.
