INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the D&D” adventure
g:
ame
world!
You
have in your hands a compiladon
of the best of the D&Dmadventures, from
l t h e
earliest days of the game to the present.
The
whole has been reorganized and re-editeo
TO
provide a continuing set of adventures for
characters of levels
1-3.
This book is intended
as
a companion
vol-
ume
to the gazetteer
G a l ,
The
Grand
Duchy
of
Kameikm. That book covers the
affairs of the Duchy in depth, this one pro-
vides a series of detailed adventures taking
place in that setting.
The
gazetteer is not
required to play these adventures, but its
background material
is
useful for extended
campaign play.
Most
of the material in this b k has been
previously published in the B-series of advcn-
Nre modules. To keep
as
much of the original
material in punt
as
possible, we have created
an
antholngy of connected advcnnrres. much
like
a ~ollection short stories. In sclccting
of
the
material for
this
anthology, we have tried
to gather
as
many different
types
of adven-
tures and
styles
of play
as
possible. The overall
campaign framework herein allows a high
degree of player choice and flexibility for the
DM, while gcncrally keeping
the
adventures
in order of difficulty.
The early adventures are mostly exploratory
in nature, while the last
is
a challenging
adventure of political intrigue, with
the
char-
actcn likely to be working for opposing fac-
tions. All of
the
adventures are designed for
5-8
characters of level
1-3.
The
setting of the adventures
is
the Grand
Duchy of
Karameikos.
a wild land overmn
with monsters that is only nominally under
the sway of its ruler, Duke Stefan Karameikos.
Towns are few and often isolated by hostile
humanoids. Small farms and hamlets dot the
counuyside. threatened on
every
side. Only
by the
efforts
of the powerful and heroic few
can the Grand Duchy survivc, grow, and pros-
per. It is among
this
powerful elite that the
player characters strive to
take
thcir place.
The
players’ characters will begin in the
small town of Threshold in the northern pan
of the Duchy. From here they
will
be able to
proceed on any one of several adventures that
will take them to the far comets of
the
Duchy
and beyond, to return at last to the capital city
of Specularum to prepare for even higher level
adventures yet to come.
In order to play the advenruresin

book.
the players should have suitably low
level
characters,
thc
D&DO Basic Playen Book,
pencils, dice, and some graph paper for map-
ping.

se,

Book
