Brief Background on this Campaign:

 

This page is for a long-running Forgotten Realms Dungeons & Dragons Campaign in the metro-DC area.  That campaign started in 1997 and continues today.  In a way, the original campaign really began in 1990 while we were still in college, ran until graduation in 1992, picked back up for several months in 1993, and then was on hiatus until 1997.  Starting in 1997 we played regularly (almost every week) again, working our way through several sets of characters.

 

I moved to NYC in 2001 and one of my players ran the game until early 2003, at which point I stepped back in (at his request) as DM.  The campaign alternated between being played over NetMeeting (when I am in NYC) and in person (I still work for a company in the metro-DC area and travel there quite frequently).

 

The campaign is based on the Wizards of the Coast Forgotten Realms Bloodstone Lands material, to include the “H” series of modules, which I ran for our college campaign characters to "retire" them in 1997-1998.  As our party (rather than the stock characters that come with the modules and are described in the source material) saved the land from the Witch King of Vassa, all material has been updated to reflect history as it was written by my party.

 

Therefore, this campaign takes place in the reunited “Kingdom of the Bloodstone Lands”, formerly the independent Kingdoms of Damara and Vassa in the North of Faerun.  Although all our original college characters are now “retired,” they are now kept busy running the Kingdom (see the "Damage Inc" link above).

 

I retired as DM for a time in 2005-2006 and was a player, but took up the DM mantle again and the campaign continues, we’ve just been using Yahoo! Groups and not this web page to disseminate information, mainly due to the lack of sufficient storage provided by my Internet provider.
