Wilderlands
I’m running a weekly online OD&D (via Swords & Wizardry) game focused on underworld and wilderness adventuring in the Wilderlands of High Fantasy Barbarian Altanis—a hostile land filled with ancient riches and antediluvian evils.
Conquering the Barbarian Altanis is an open-ended sandbox campaign set in the Wilderlands of High Fantasy in which players shape the world through their characters, and in return the world shapes them.
Players have total freedom to roam and explore the ancient underworld and hostile wilderness, embarking on many adventures. Antediluvian evil lurks below while petty city-states wage endless war above.
There is no retirement in the Barbarian Altanis. Toughest of the adventurers might, just might, have their moment of glory—be it through conquest, legendary deeds, or spectacular failure.
Will your adventurer become one of the legends?
See here if you’d like to join us. We welcome players of all skill.
