At the edge of
the known world, the old maps warn, "Go no farther. Here be
dragons."
The old maps
are right.
Taming the Frontierlands is
a campaign site based on the Third Edition Dungeons and Dragons game published by
Wizards of the Coast. This
site attempts to comply with the terms and conditions of the Open
Gaming License, as maintained by the Open Gaming Foundation.
If you're a new visitor to the
Frontierlands, you may wish to start with D'loris' first
and second
letters home, Telosch's
letter to Licia, and Arden's
Prayer Book -- all firsthand accounts written by players from the perspectives of
their characters. Next, browse Life on the Frontier
and the Campaign Notes to get a feel for the
setting. If you're a return visitor, scroll down to see what's new.
SPOILER ALERT! Although the Frontierlands is a "homebrew" campaign
world, it draws heavily on many sources. These campaign notes are intended
for players in the Frontierlands Campaign, and may contain information from
published adventures (especially Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil,
and various products from Necromancer Games, Wizards of the Coast,
Dungeon Magazine, Fiery Dragon, Malhavoc Press, Penumbra,
Wyvern's Claw, and Sword & Sorcery Studios). You've been warned.
