Old-School D&D: Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow

Nightmare over Ragged Hollow is a sandbox adventure centred around a quaint town at the edge of the kingdom. But however quiet life in Ragged Hollow is, the town lies between places where you shouldn’t be traveling alone. Places like Gloam Wood (“A witch or two lurk there!”), the Bleak Mountains (“I’m told there are bugbears…”) and their infamous Mount Mourn (“Home, they say, to cursed Dwarven ruins”), not to forget the Wailing Hills (“Bandits on every road!”). There’s even a haunted house by the river (“That mad inventor riddled it with traps!”). But only when an impenetrable dome of golden light materialises around the Temple of Halcyon (“Hey, my kids go to school there!”) do things really get out of hand. Some selfless heroes (or, failing that, a bunch of greedy ne’er-do-wells) should really get involved.

Is this open to beginners?
Yes! Folks of all experience levels are welcome!

What do I need to bring?
Nothing - I will provide everything. If you want to bring your own dice, a pencil, and/or a miniature that works as well, but I will have everything here.

What version of Dungeons & Dragons is this?
We will be running a house-ruled version of the 1974 edition of Dungeons & Dragons, sometimes called "Original Dungeons & Dragons" or "0e." This edition is known for being very open-ended, focusing on creative solutions rather than picking the right "moves," and one of the origin points of our hobby. You do not need to know the rules to play!

Do I need to make a character before session?
Nope, we will make characters at the table. Doing so only takes a few minutes.
