Howdy Gamers!

This month’s Meetup will be held at Dragon's Lair on Feb. 27 from 1pm - 6pm. On the table is an old-school adventure DM'd by Norman Harman, using the Labyrinth Lord rules set, which is essentially a clone of 1981 Red Box D&D. But enough from me, here’s Norm to give you the scoop in his own words:

 

The Kingdom is prosperous, peaceful, and BORING.  When King Osric "The Reasonably Just" decreed the wild and dangerous Eastern Frontier open to exploration, none abandoned their fat and easy lives to risk almost certain doom.  But when King Osric aka "The Relatively Generous" further decreed that there would be no taxes, tariffs, excises, or royal shares levied on treasure recovered from the Eastern Frontier a few desperate adventurers took notice and headed East.  Those few that didn't come to their senses and turn back found themselves in the newly established Barony of Brink, last outpost of civilization and gateway to the Eastern Frontier.

Tomb robbers, out of work mercenaries, professional scoundrels, holy men looking to save or be saved, seekers of forbidden knowledge, naive farm boys with dreams of glory, assorted ne'er-do-wells, and foreigners from near and far all congregate at the Goat & Wizard Inn.  Drinking the last of their coin, eyeing the competition, chasing up rumors and bar wenches.  Eventually, a motley party of assorted characters gathers round a large table to plan their first foray in search of Gold and Glory.

Are you brave or foolish enough to explore the Eastern Frontier in search of gold and glory?  More to the point are you strong enough to survive its perils and return body, mind, and soul intact?

Adventure beckons, will you answer the call?
