Introduction

A while back, a friend of mine asked if he could try D&D. Always willing to initiate new people into this crazy hobby I went on designing a plan and invited other friends to try with us. I needed something simple for the rules and something I know well for it to feel alive (works need to be done on that).

I opted for Adventurer Conqueror King System which is a b/x retro clone. We’d go full old school, 3D6 in order (best of 2 arrays) with random starting ressources. I also proposed a bunch of templates to simplify to buying process.

I pitched some rules of the table: no pvp (that’s only one rule right)

For the Setting, I opted to revive an old campaign built from scratch (in 97 if you ask, used constantly as long as we played D&D, tapering our into the mid 2000s. At the time I took inspiration from books, published settings, modules and made a personalized mishmash, adding and discarding a lot for smooth integration. At the start it won’t be that important except the small part of the world the PCs are in.

I decided we’d run through Dwimmermount and another module involving a keep and some hinterlands. Or do something else, that’s why we play rpg
