Previous Campaign
Legends of the Ridge — the Saga of the Various Heroes of the Third Age
- First Event — Outset (1/1/1000)
- Final Event — Epilogue (3/17/1004)
Synopsis
It is the year 1000. A rag-tag group of adventurers teams up to save the small village of Puckett's Ridge from a Goblin attack, but they end up calling it home. Throughout their adventures, they come to be referred to as various iterations of "Heroes" (Heroes of the Ridge, Heroes of the Demonweb, New Heroes, Heroes of Hell, Heroes of the North, Heroes of Verdun, Heroes of the Verdant Realm, etc.). They make countless friends (and more than a few enemies) during their travels. As their notoriety grows and evolves, so does the town.
These are not your typical Heroes of legend, as they are wrought with personal drama, tragic backstories, inconsistent attendance, and a little too much to drink.
Hilarity and tragedy ensue, but you can't spell "slaughter" without "laughter."
The story takes place on the world of Lonn on the Material Plane during the Third Age. Puckett's Ridge and most of the other major locations are on the continent of Argones (ar-GOH-ness); the Desert region of Haranem is located on the continent of Xendra; and Ixnay is the icy continent to the northeast, separated by the Ice Caves of Azinth. Eventually the Heroes travel to other Planes across the infinite expanse of the Great Wheel, including, but not limited to, Acheron, Yggdrasil, the Outlands, Celestia, and several layers of the Abyss.
Uses the D&D 3.5 system and most, if not all, associated literature (SRD and otherwise).
NOTE: This first campaign (3.5 edition) began in April 2016 and was played almost weekly until its conclusion on June 14, 2022.
