#RPGaDAY2024 Classic Campaign

 For today I have to talk about my Order of the Platinum Dragon campaign of my massive Come Endless Darkness romp through all the Classic D&D adventures. 

The Classic Adventures

Since D&D 5 came out I have been running my family through the "Gygaxian Classics." while we technically started with B1 In Search of the Unknown with AD&D 1st ed, we quickly moved to D&D 5.  From here we did B2 Keep on the Borderlands and moved through the Great Greyhawk Campaign.

Our order of games has been:

  • T1 Village of Hommlet (forgotten by the characters, played as a flashback after I6)
  • B1 In Search of the Unknown (Gen Con Game)
  • B2 Keep on the Borderlands
  • L1 The Secret of Bone Hill  (Gen Con Game)
  • X2 Castle Amber
  • I6 Ravenloft (Gen Con Game)
  • C2 Ghost Tower of Inverness
  • A1-5 Slave Lords
  • C1 The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan
  • G123, G4 Against the Giants  (Gen Con Game)
  • D12, 3 Descent into the Depths of the Earth, Vault of the Drow
  • Q1 Queen of the Demonweb Pits (Gen Con Game)

I wanted my family to have the "Classic D&D Experience) with this.  Communities are often defined by the stories they share. These are the stories we all share.  How did you defeat Strahd? Did you shout 'Bree Yark'? What did you do in the Hill Giant's dining room?   Did you survive the Demonweb?

For various reasons we have not finished the last part of the Demonweb. Maybe we will one day.  I would like to hope so.
