Reading some material for next weeks #BECMI #DnD game with the kids and stumbled on this gem in GAZ1 - #Karameikos

"The timelines and histories of these sourcebooks are scrupulously checked against one another"

I haven't laughed so hard since I was a little girl. I love #Mystara, but there isn't a fan who doesn't know its history is multiple choice. GAZ10 is a bad joke, and GAZ14 was so rushed they forgot to make it problematic enough to get the attention of clickbait drama 5E sloptubers.

Ok, so I've been tinkering with different material for my glorious return to #ADnD2e and I think I've settled on some things.

Thing the 1: I'm going to use the core rules CD as much as I can, its still dynamite after all these years.

Thing the 2: We playing in #Greyhawk! Am I super familiar with Greyhawk? NO, but there is lots of accessible AD&D material for it. And we can #Spelljammer if we want!

Thing the 3: I'll probably play #BECMI #Mystara with my kids!

I think I've decided to run "First Quest" its setup as an intro to #ADnD 2e for new players so it'll be an easy way to ease myself back in (I havent been able to run AD&D for 15+ years and I havent run anything for like 5 years).

Also, I didn't realize it was set on #Mystara (as much as simplified starter adventures are set anywhere), and the third one introduces #Spelljammer! This may just end up a one-shot, but I'm hoping for a regular game.

Also we can use CORE RULES!

lil man's wrist broke while he was in storage so today we're doin surgery in anticipation of my friday crew returning to our #mystara #OSE campaign. this is the goblin druid, Kudi Grababír, who got psychic powers from eating extraterrestrial fungus and is now on a mission to prove the heliocentric model of the universe. he is also a loving father to a protoceratops pup named Lemmy. gotta paint him one of these days.

I was thinking about giving my homebrew setting more of a Bronze Age spin, and it had me thinking about God-Kings and Demigods who are favored and supported by the divine forces of the cosmos.

My idea was that Sun, Moon, Earth, Sea, Wind, and Darkness are impersonal and distant, but can give divine power to immortal heroes for their own unknowable reasons.

And I think I now finally understand what the Spheres and Immortals of #Mystara are supposed to be like. 😲
