The Forbidden North

“The Forbidden North is a vast frontier of frozen tundra, towering mountains, ancient forests, and forgotten ruins buried beneath centuries of ice and snow. Long isolated by its harsh climate and deadly wilderness, the region remains one of the last truly unexplored lands in the world. Hidden among its frozen wastes are the remnants of lost civilizations, abandoned strongholds, and mysterious monuments whose origins have been lost to time. Though many see the North as a barren wilderness, legends tell of buried kingdoms, powerful relics, and ancient gods whose influence still lingers.

Now the Forbidden North is changing. Unnatural storms sweep across the land, long-dormant creatures awaken, and whispers of forgotten powers draw adventurers into its depths.

Beneath the ice, forces older than memory are beginning to stir, offering both unimaginable discoveries and terrible dangers. In the Forbidden North, every expedition may uncover a lost piece of history—or awaken something that should have remained buried forever . . ."

« Old-School Essentials »

Old-School Essentials is a tabletop role-playing game that builds upon the core rules of the B/X Essentials, B/X and BECMI game systems.

It incorporates elements and options from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons "1st Edition", such as additional classes, races, spells, and monsters, while maintaining the simpler, more streamlined rules of Basic/Expert "B/X" D&D.

Key features:
Old-School Essentials is a retroclone, meaning it's designed to emulate the feel and mechanics of older versions of Dungeons & Dragons.

• B/X Foundation: It retains the core mechanics and feel of the original B/X D&D, which was popular in the 1980s and is still widely played to this day.
• AD&D Integration: It includes optional rules, classes, races, and spells from AD&D 1st Edition, allowing players to experience a wider range of character options and game elements.
• Character Variety: Players can choose from a broader array of character classes and races, including options like drow, duergar, gnome, and half-elf, among many others.
• Expanded Content: It includes additional magical items, spells, and monsters, adding more depth and complexity to the game.
• Flexible Gameplay: The game offers optional rules for character creation, combat, and spell acquisition, allowing for a more tailored experience.
• Modern Layout: Necrotic Gnome uses a modern layout and clear presentation, making it very easy to learn and even reference during play.
• House Ruling: With it being completely compatible with systems like AD&D 1st edition, BECMI, BX and "to an extent" AD&D 2nd edition it is easy to include house rules, mechanics and outside rules from these systems.

« About Our Adventures »

Our campaigns will consist of various adventures tied in together to create long lasting campaigns which will help create "our own" Gods of the Forbidden North campaign setting. Some house rules and mechanics have been imported to our system as well.

We are always looking for more people that would like to join us that will be "dedicated" players & DMs.

We are very rusty to online play and have been away from the game for a long time so, if you can tolerate some mistakes being made while we learn then please give us a shout out.
