The Agrimoor Rules Compendium is a homebrew frankenstein of several editions of Dungeons & Dragons, along with some modern tweaks for ease of play. The Basic/Expert (B/X), Old School Essentials (OSE), and Rules Companion (RC) serve as the base upon which our home game is built. Elements from Castles & Crusades (C&C) and Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (5e D&D) such as higher hit die and advantage/disadvantage. Have also been integrated into the game. The rules herein will change over time and sessions of play.

Sub-Par Rolls
