Welcome to my Gaming Wiki. This wiki is my area on the web for documenting and sharing D&D game content for the games I run and play in. Originally intended for a single campaign I was running in the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting, the site has grown to include other campaigns as well. In addition, I will be expanding the site to include other role-playing games and other games, primarily board wargames, that I like and play.
This Wiki started with a long running D&D Campaign set in the Kingdoms of Kalamar campaign setting publish by Kenzer & Co.. It ended in the almost total destruction of the party. You can find details of that campaign at the bottom of this page in the section The Older Campaigns. New campaigns will be now chronicled here.
Now a little background.
Adventures in Kalamar! is the name I have given to the Thursday evening group that I formed to play a little more often than the once a month weekend group. Actually, it was my wife's idea, since she saw that I wanted to play more often. I am extremely fortunate that she supports my hobby and has even started participating in it. I thank her profusely for the support and love her even more for trying to play and finding out it is fun.
Here, from this page, you will find write-ups of the characters everyone plays, the session logs of our games, and other information.
This game was using the 3.5 Edition of the Dungeon & Dragons role-playing game published by Wizards of the Coast. Additional information about this game and the way we play can be found by following the links below.
Ashfar is the name of the world where the latest campaign is set. It is a background setting for the campaign adventure I am running and at this point in time, I am not putting a large amount of information here about it. The reason for this is the campaign is only about to start, I do not want the players to know much about the campaign itself (some of the information involved would give too much away) and the characters will start off without knowing each other and what it is they will be doing. As time progresses and the characters learn about what is going on, I will finally add additional information here about the world and the setting. In the mean time, you can follow the Ashfar link to find out some background information on the world itself as well as the gods of the campaign.
Greyhawk, the original campaign world, the one that started it all. I will be playing in this world, in the Savage Tides Adventure Path. Details of the world itself and the campaign will be post as we go along.
Kingdoms of Kalamar is a medieval fantasy setting fundamentally based on realism. Its recent history encompasses the proliferation of 6 human races (subraces really - they're all human) throughout the world of Tellene. It also includes all of the standard fantasy races of D&D, like elves and dwarves and a few new ones unique to Kalamar like half-hobgoblins. In fact full-blooded hobgoblins are also a prevalent civilized race with their own independent kingdoms. The most advanced societies use steel, including plate armor, and can fashion complex siege weapons. Less advanced groups may still be using bronze or even stone tools. There is no gunpowder. But then again, who needs gunpowder when you've got magic? Magic exists and has certainly influenced the history of the world. Wizards and sorcerers are not overly common; Tellene's inhabitants accept most unusual and seemingly inexplicable events as the work of one of the gods rather than arcane magic. In smaller communities, the townsfolk easily confuse wizards and especially sorcerers with clerics, and arcane spells may be misconstrued as miracles or portents of the gods. In fact, the pantheon of deities is one of the aspects of Kalamar that makes it unique. Merely reading through the pantheon of Kalamaran deities will give players and Dungeon Masters alike inspiration for untold gaming sessions and adventures.
