Old School Role Play Monkey

At Christmas, 1976, my brother got a copy of Dungeons and Dragons. It came in a little white box that had rules on how to run fantasy role play games in a world of magic and monsters. You could literally play one of JRR Tolkien's adventure books. I was hooked. Now MANY decades later I'm still playing.


This page is about my on going efforts in role playing. It is dedicated to an old school game based on D&D as my brothers and I played in back in the day. It is an homage to white box D&D but also to a campaign I ran in 1981 set in Viking Iceland, and another campaign I ran in 1990 set in Central France set around 1215. Though it is all D&D it is the D&D of the 1970's when game masters were encouraged to make stuff up. It is still D&D but D&D exposed to lots of gamma radiation so that is has mutated. Maybe it has super powers, that remains to be seen. Either way, if you have played any edition of D&D you will see how it is similar and be able to play it if you are so inclined.


I will build this page up over time. For now I'll put the basic rules sheets here for your use.
