KISMET'S DUNGEONS & DRAGONS CAMPAIGN

  Index and Introduction 

      When I first started to run D&D in early 2001, I had no previous DMing experience and no model to work from. I had only seen a few relatively fun D&D sessions and I had never gotten close to seeing a successful D&D campaign. I was not entirely lost in the dark because I had the light of inspiration to guide me, and that light was able to carry me far. Not everyone is so fortunate, however, and DMing is a very complex undertaking. I realized quickly that I wanted to build this web site so I could explore D&D and share what I found.  I also wanted to offer information on my campaign as it progressed, not just for entertainment or exploration, but to give people an idea of how a campaign can be developed.  And developed it has.  All in all, we have spent about four years in the same campaign (though we have taken assorted breaks), with all of the experience and difficulties so much gaming can bring.  This section has much more to offer now than it did before.

	The City of Thandell: The city of my own creation, set in the Forgotten Realms
	The Thandell Academy: An in-depth look at the Thandell Academy affiliation (as per the PHB II), its rules and membership
	History & Lore of Thandell: A small example of some local history and folklore
	House Rules: Assorted house rules developed for this campaign
	Leadership in my Game: An examination of how I've come to handle Leadership, since three of my players have taken it over the years
	A Cast List of NPCs: A discussion of keeping track of NPCs, and an example of how it can be done
	A Sample of the Story: A very brief example of our game's storyline, taken from the earliest parts of our campaign
	The Faerunian Calendar: An exploration of the calendar of Harptos, Faerunian holidays, and keeping track of time in a campaign
