Expedition To The Barrier Peaks
''Expedition to the Barrier Peaks'' is a 1980 adventure module for the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' role-playing game written by Gary Gygax. While ''Dungeons & Dragons'' (''D&D'') is typically a fantasy game, the adventure includes elements of science fiction, and thus belongs to the science fantasy genre. It takes place on a downed spaceship; the ship's crew has died of an unspecified disease, but functioning robots and strange creatures still inhabit the ship. The player characters fight monsters and robots, and gather the futuristic weapons and colored access cards that are necessary for advancing the story. ''Expedition to the Barrier Peaks'' was first played at the Origins II convention in 1976, where it was used to introduce ''Dungeons & Dragons'' players to the science fiction game ''Metamorphosis Alpha''. In 1980, TSR published the adventure, updated for first edition ''Advanced Dungeons & Dragons'' rules. The adventure was not updated for later rules systems, but a Wizards. ...

Living Greyhawk
Living Greyhawk ("LG") was a massively shared ''Dungeons & Dragons'' Living Campaigns, living campaign administered by RPGA that ran from 2000 to 2008. The campaign setting and storyline were based on Gary Gygax's Greyhawk, World of Greyhawk setting, and used the ''Dungeons and Dragons'' Third Edition (later v3.5) rules. During the lifespan of the campaign, more than a thousand adventures were published, and these were played by tens of thousands of players around the world. Chronology of the campaign During the 1990s, a shared RPGA roleplaying campaign called Living City that used the ''Dungeons and Dragons'' 2nd edition rules had been relatively successful. With the introduction of the third edition of Dungeons & Dragons in 2000, RPGA conceived of a new and improved campaign called Living Greyhawk that would be more far-reaching in scope and played on a larger, continental scale. Instead of one city and its environs, this campaign would cover 30 in-game regions of Oerth, each lin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Common Year (Greyhawk)
Greyhawk, also known as the World of Greyhawk, is a fictional world designed as a campaign setting for the ''Dungeons & Dragons'' fantasy roleplaying game. Although not the first campaign world developed for ''Dungeons & Dragons''— Dave Arneson's '' Blackmoor'' campaign predated it by over a year—the world of Greyhawk closely identified with early development of the game beginning in 1972, and after being published it remained associated with ''Dungeons & Dragons'' publications until 2008. The world itself started as a simple dungeon under a castle designed by Gary Gygax for the amusement of his children and friends, but it was rapidly expanded to include not only a complex multi-layered dungeon environment, but also the nearby city of Greyhawk, and eventually an entire world. In addition to the campaign world, which was published in several editions over twenty years, Greyhawk was also used as the setting for many adventures published in support of the game, as well as for RP ...
