Pacesetter Games Version of B/X The Time of Troubles & Era of Upheaval We would like to welcome you to our homebrewed Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Inspired By Ed Greenwood

I know a lot of folks in this game are die hard "oh I play this version" or "oh I play that version" and while I respect that, I've kind of went my own path with my own system that I use. This is mainly why I am creating this news post - I want to explain the reasoning behind the choices I've made and the direction I took B/X for my owwn person system that I use.

Every D&D system has it's good points and it's bad points. So I decided instead of staying 100% with the rules, I would bend and mold it into a shape that I liked. I've always been an avid AD&D DM as well as player. I think it's the best version of the game on the market. As I've gotten older, I guess I have kind of reverted back to my childhood where this game is concerned.

I've been looking at the old classic systems like Old-School Essentials, B/X and AD&D. I love the older stuff but I dislike the max level cap being level 14. So many awesome adventures go past 14 which is why I've always set my level cap at 18. I want to keep everything as classic as possible while still giving my players the freedom of having many choices. I also removed level caps for non human classes as well. People always come back with the statement of "oh if you make all classes level 18 as the cap then no one will play a human character". Well, I hate to burst your bubble but since returning to classic, my last group was 3 humans a a dwarf so where is your logic at now?

I've created a page on this blog as kind of an introduction page to what and how we play located here. I'm using a mix of Pacesetter B/X, Old-School Essentials & AD&D in this modified homebrewed system. I have not ran a game with it as of yet but I am sure it will run smoothly. Come join our Discord server, we would love to talk with you about it.

Hundelstone The Time of Troubles & Era of Upheaval We would like to welcome you to our homebrewed Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Inspired By Ed Greenwood

Hundelstone is a trade town of 1,260 gnomes, dwarves, and humans located at the western edge of the Spine of the World along the Ten Trail. The town's buildings ware built low to the ground, with the majority of living space consisting of cellar rooms cut into the rock.

There are five guesthouses that houses visitors and travelers stuck for the winter because of bad weather in the pass; these guesthouses specialize in dishes made from the plentiful rock hares in the area, namely jugged hare, hare stew, curried skewered hare, and fried spiced hare. Most of the dwarves and gnomes are miners, while most of the humans serve as monster slayers (gaining a monthly salary of 100 gold pieces plus 25 gold pieces per monster head), guides and guards to the caravans, or hunters (namely of wolves, raptors, crag cats, and the ever-plentiful rock hares).

The neighboring dwarves of Ironmaster blindfold non-dwarven intruders in their homeland and forced them through underground passages to Hundelstone, releasing them at night in rough, unfamiliar terrain.

Hundelstone lies along the major trade route, known as the Ten Trail, which connects Fireshear & Luskan in the south to the Ten Towns of Icewind Dale. The neighboring dwarves of Ironmaster use underground routes and secret surface caves near Hundelstone for their trading. The town is also home to 100 smiths that produce all manner of iron wares.

Hundelstone was named for Hundel Hurler-of-Hammers, a dwarven smith whose tomb was said to be located in a cave in the mountains guarded by two lightning-throwing warhammers.

We Focus on TTRPG's Here The Time of Troubles & Era of Upheaval We would like to welcome you to our homebrewed Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Inspired By Ed Greenwood

As far as real world issues goes, we've never had to address these issues here and for that I am extremely thankful. We are not anything special here, just a group of gamers trying to have a good time and I think we've grown quite a bit which makes me happy. I hope that we can continue to grow and expand as time goes on!

However there is a lot of turmoil going on in the outside world and I want to make something clear here.

We will not discuss matters of justice and equality here. We (and I, specifically) believe firmly that heroes of high fantasy settings would have never looked at anyone or anything and wondered . . . what do they identify as, are they gay or straight, what race, color or sex a person is/was, no, they wouldn't because it never would have came up and it will not come up on this blog or within my games. None of that matters here because we are all adults here and we treat people like adults.

We don't care about any of that silliness here, this is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign blog . . . it does not matter who you are, what you believe in, what color you are, what sex you are or were, none of that matters here and it will not be discussed here, so keep it to yourself.

If you feel the need to push any of that in peoples faces where this campaign is concerned then please go somewhere else, we are here to play tabletop games and nothing that happens in the real world matters here. You won't find people yelling at the world about what pronouns they are, or if they identify as a lamp shade in this group. We are not for it or against it - we simply don't care. This is a GAMING BLOG covering a Dungeons & Dragons setting and the story that it holds. No one here cares about any of the above mentioned things, keep it to yourself and let us focus on the adventuers that happen here.

If you disagree with this, feel free to leave this place and never come back. I hope you take the time to reflect on your beliefs and understand that what you believe in, should be none of anyone elses business, and people will not be forced to address you by your silly pronoun - keep it to yourself. Once again, this is a Dungeons & Dragons campaign blog and that is all that should matter to anyone who visits this website.

People that sit around our real world or virtual table are all grown ass adults and we don't give a damn about your pronouns or your real world politics. Now, with all that silliness out of the way, we hope you enjoy your visit here and please feel free to say hello in our comments sections. We would love to meet you.
