Cormyr 2.0 with a Dash of the Dales and Great Desert Interest Check.

[Critzible]

Hi all, just cracked open my books and am looking to start a 2e DnD Campaign based in Cormyr. Might have a bit of Dales and Anauroch, looking at Basic DnD Races and Classes with the Splatbooks allowed. I'll have a list hopefully, of Books I am using. Or at least a website to reference,

I hope to build an intriguing story around the party and Cormyr specifically.

Hey Critzible, this sounds intriguing - what is the plan, a trip through iconic FR modules, or more of a Sandbox endeavor?

And if I may inquire - why 2e and not AD&D or OSRIC? :)

Semi SandBoxy. I am more comfortable with 2e, it's the system I started on. I can allow 1e Classes like Monk, Cavalier, etc. Though still gonna go with 2e.

Gonna mix some pregens with other events. As well as converted systems.

I also kinda started with 2e back in the day - after a short time with BECMI.

My question was mostly curiosity - to be honest I am perfectly fine with 2e Core rules only (no alternative rules like proficiencies, no splatbooks, etc). I feel like some of the added stuff (like the OP kits) brought on imbalance, unnecessary complexity, etc.

Pregens is a great idea.

Yeah, I am hoping to limit some stuff as I know the HUGE library of 2e products. Honestly, I'd love to use Hackmaster 4e, but once more not super proficient in running the game.

Been wanting to try Hackmaster for a long time - why not give it a go? Grab some pregens and some premade module and go to town :D

[Critzible]

I have all of Hackmaster Digitally. Just need to get it on my new computer

Interested. The Forgotten Realms was my favorite setting, especially Cormyr & The Dalelands. Sembia, too.
As for 2e, do you mean the PF 2e rules? AD&D 2e? I've been playing D&D since 1980 so I'm familiar with the rules, including Pathfinder.

Says 2e DnD in the original post…So I think that means ADnD, 2nd Edition.

[Critzible]

Yeah 2e DnD
