OD&D Guild – The Bane of Eoric

Here’s a little blast from the past while I beg your indulgence for the time to write the next how to play article.

Introduction

The adventure that follows was started at the OD&D Guild by members of that group,
classicdnd, and heldanner. The intention was to write an adventure collectively. The first
two offerings are no longer available. The initial offerings have been heavily edited and
added to by Gregory B. MacKenzie, its third contributor but there is still room for
development.

The Bane of Eoric is a short game adventure designed for a small or relatively low level
band of adventurers of about 3-6 characters of 1st to 3rd level (about 6 total levels). The
numbers and strength of the NPCs and creatures can of course be adjusted to
accommodate stronger or weaker parties.

The adventure takes place in the wilderness, a the remote forested region beneath cold
mountains. Tied to no particular campaign world, the scenario could easily be adapted for
use in any campaign with only a few minor alterations.
