Three Bells Inn The Known World & Raging Swan Press The current year for our homebrewed campaign setting is set during 672 CY (Common Year). Inspired By Gary Gygax

The Three Bells Inn in Dulwich caters particularly to pilgrims visiting the temple of Conn, providing lodging for worshippers and other travelers passing through town. Its association with this clientele gives it a respectable reputation, making it an appealing choice for newcomers seeking somewhere dependable to stay.

Guests arriving on religious business have little reason to suspect anything sinister about their accommodation. The proprietor, Valto Ilakka, conceals a murderous nature behind the business.

A skilled assassin, he continues a family history of serial murder, making the inn’s respectable appearance especially deceptive. His occupation brings him into regular contact with strangers and allows him to learn about their destinations, companions, and reasons for traveling. Few guests realize how dangerous their host is.

The inn contains secret cellars connected to its darker history. These concealed spaces provide a disturbing contrast to the accommodation above and could become important discoveries for anyone investigating Valto or his family’s crimes. Their existence also gives adventurers good reason to examine the building carefully rather than accepting its public reputation at face value. A lost tunnel connects the premises to the catacombs beneath Dulwich, linking the Three Bells to the town’s buried past. Discovering that passage could turn an investigation of the inn into a much larger exploration beneath the streets.

The establishment works particularly well as a location the characters first encounter through an ordinary stay, a visiting pilgrim, or inquiries about a missing traveler, with its secrets emerging as they investigate.

« Old-School Essentials »

Old-School Essentials is a tabletop role-playing game that builds upon the core rules of the B/X Essentials, B/X and BECMI game systems (even leaning into the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons system). It incorporates elements and options from Advanced Dungeons & Dragons "1st Edition", such as additional classes, races, spells, and monsters, while maintaining the simpler, more streamlined rules of Basic/Expert "B/X" D&D.

Key features:
Old-School Essentials is a retroclone, meaning it's designed to emulate the feel and mechanics of older versions of Dungeons & Dragons.

• B/X Foundation: It retains the core mechanics and feel of the original B/X D&D, which was popular in the 1980s and is still widely played to this day.
• AD&D Integration: It includes optional rules, classes, races, and spells from AD&D 1st Edition, allowing players to experience a wider range of character options and game elements.
• Character Variety: Players can choose from a broader array of character classes and races, including options like drow, duergar, gnome, and half-elf, among many others.
• Expanded Content: It includes additional magical items, spells, and monsters, adding more depth and complexity to the game.
• Flexible Gameplay: The game offers optional rules for character creation, combat, and spell acquisition, allowing for a more tailored experience.
• Modern Layout: Necrotic Gnome uses a modern layout and clear presentation, making it very easy to learn and even reference during play.
• House Ruling: With it being completely compatible with other systems like 1st edition Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, BECMI, BX D&D and "to an extent" Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition it is easy to include house rules, mechanics and outside rules from these systems.
