AD&D 2nd Edition One-Shot

Yep, you‘ve read this right, we are going to be playing AD&D 2nd Edition:

• Duration 2-3 hours
• Short adventures, each playable on its own, though some may connect into small story arcs. Setting is the kingdom of Karameikos in the world of Mystara.
• Full AD&D 2e rules (but very few optional rules, e.g. no non-weapon proficiencies).
• Mind‘s eye theater and rough sketches, no minis or precise grid positioning.
• Pre-made 1st-level characters will be provided (simplified character sheets).
• If your character dies (a possible outcome, for brave but inexperienced heroes), you can just pick up the next available pregen and join at the next appropriate moment.

Location: Tales Untold (6€ per person table fee).

Goal: have fun, meet cool people. I’ll try to repeat this about once a month.

Content note: aiming for a classic AD&D 2e feel in a medieval-style kingdom, that may include unsettling themes like violence, cults, undead, ancient evils and deadly magic.

About me: trying to make a comeback as a DM using my favorite dnd version. Most of my previous experience is at least 10 years in the past, and it was running campaigns with players that already knew AD&D 2e, and also in my native language (greek). So I hope I’ll get better at it with time, but there may be some rough edges.

I’ll be handling as much of the system mechanics as possible, but time is probably going to be tight, so it is preferable if you have a bit of experience with some version of D&D or similar.
