Edrenor

This character is for  Allan T. Grohe's "grodog's Greyhawk" game (AD&D 1e).

Edrenor of Jarl (Diocese of Devarnish) is a young cleric whose severe appearance belies a formidable physical and spiritual strength. Hailing from the landed gentry of Veluna, his Oeridian heritage is clear in his tan skin, dark, perceptive eyes, and reddish-brown hair, which he keeps in a stark bowl cut above a neatly trimmed chinstrap beard. As a third son, the path of the clergy was a natural fit, and he serves Boccob, the god of magic and knowledge, with a quiet dedication. 

Though he has the look of a scholar, Edrenor is strong and exceptionally hardy, able to withstand punishment that would fell a lesser man. His true power, however, lies in his profound wisdom, which grants him deep insight and a powerful command of divine magic. While not particularly charming or agile, he is a grounded and pragmatic individual, valuing balance and order above all else.

Anthony Huso's Guide to AD&D 1e (Unofficial Compilation)

 

This has recently arrived on the mail. 

On March 2024 Lucas M. compiled and edited a series of blog posts by Antony Huso, designed to introduce you to vintage AD&D and teach you how to play it more or less by the book.

The book is 134 pages long and covers several topics of the game: "Running Your First AD&D Campaign", "DMing & 1e Philosophy", "Combat, Standard & Armed", "Combat, Unarmed & Avoiding", "Combat, Special", "Magic", "Psionics", "Leveling Up, XP, Training", "High Level Play" and "Other Fun House Rules". It also features two appendix at the end, "A: How Much Treasure?" and "B: Bards".

On the first page we read: "Webpage links and dates of publication are included at the beginning of each section. For the sake of clarify, titles of some posts have been changed and sub-headings added; a blog post has been divided and included in different sections. The webpage links often include the original title of the blog posts, so look there if you need to identify them." which may be useful, but some original posts might be unavailable.

I ordered this because we are getting ready to play Huso's mega dungeon "Castle of the Silver Prince" and want to do it as close as "Gary intended" as possible. When Aron Clark, the group's DM and compiler of the physical copy of this tome, threw the idea everyone jumped on board right away. I've always been an AD&D 1e fan but doesn't run my game RAW, though I play on a game run by Allan T. Grohe, Jr. (grodog) that closely does it. This will be another chance to delve into the

BRW Games Big Announcement

On Gary Gygax day, BRW Games, led by Joseph Bloch (aka Greyhawk Grognard), has teased a major upcoming project in a recent YouTube video, hinting at what could be their most ambitious release yet. While specific details remain unrevealed, the announcement suggests an open license universal game system named ADDventure Engine with the core of AD&D 1e. The system could be applied to any genre (fantasy, post-apocalyptic, weird west, superheroes, science fiction, horror, WWII, space opera, etc.) and will be a toolkit to create games. 

Known for titles like Adventures Dark and Deep and Castle of the Mad Archmage, BRW’s fans are already speculating and expressing excitement. With Bloch’s track record for old-school RPG depth and quality, this announcement has stirred significant anticipation in the tabletop community.
