World Map of Etharis

“Only a few warriors remain. Defenders of humanity against the horrors of the dark. Their numbers dwindle with every new moon. You see, this world belongs to the darkness, and darkness will not give it up easily”.

"From its deep and forbidding forests, where horrible beasts lurk, to the hulking and impenetrable mountains ranges where lost legacies lie, the landscape of Etharis is formidable. However, the true monsters of this land can be found in the degenerating cities of old, where humanity clings to survival.

The world of Etharis is the official world for the Grim Hollow setting. Here, players will find a few familiar and many unique tropes of the fantasy genre.

This makes for an exciting time to be a brave adventurer where anything can and will happen. Step into our magical world and watch us usher in a new and exciting era, full of possibilities for both good & evil . . ."

« Old School Essentials »

The Old-School Essentials system is a tabletop role-playing game that builds upon the core rules of B/X Essentials Classic Fantasy. It incorporates elements and options from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 1st Edition, such as additional classes, races, spells, and monsters, while maintaining the simpler, more streamlined rules of B/X D&D.

Key features:
Old-School Essentials is a retroclone, meaning it's designed to emulate the feel and mechanics of older versions of Dungeons & Dragons.

• B/X Foundation: It retains the core mechanics and feel of the original B/X D&D, which was popular during the 1980s.
• AD&D Integration: It includes optional rules, classes, races, and spells from AD&D 1st Edition, allowing players to experience a wider range of character options and game elements.
• Character Variety: Players can choose from a broader array of character classes and races, including options like drow, duergar, gnome, and half-elf, among others.
• Expanded Content: It includes additional magic items, spells, and monsters, adding more depth and complexity to the game.
• Flexible Gameplay: The game offers optional rules for things like character creation, combat, and spell acquisition, allowing for a more tailored experience.
• Modern Layout: Necrotic Gnome uses a modern layout and clear presentation, making it easy to learn and reference during play.

In essence, Old-School Essentials offers a blend of the classic B/X D&D experience with the added depth and variety of AD&D, providing a robust and engaging tabletop role-playing game for both new and experienced players.
