The Worlds of AD&D This section features information for the collector and gamer alike. Below you'll find a list of official campaign worlds with a short description. We will add detailed pages over the time. Bigby, Tenser, Mordenkainen, Leomund ... If you've perused the spells and magical items for the AD&D game, you've discovered their famous names. These and other personalities hail from the GREYHAWK campaign setting, the oldest world created for the AD&D game line. Steeped in tradition, the GREYHAWK campaign abounds with castles and valiant knights. It is also a realm of free-wheeling adventure and mercenaries for hire. In the wake of a recent war, the nations live with an uneasy truce. Now heroes face new challenges in the endless struggle for the cause of good, from eluding the nefarious spies of the Scarlet Brotherhood to evading the ghoulish army of Ivid the Undying. (TSR campaign description) Well met ... and welcome to the most popular detailed fantasy campaign world ever created. Here gods walk the earth and fantastic armies clash. Visitors explore a vast frontier filled with fascination folk, from bold heroes and whimsical characters to shadowy villains and clandestine societies. This is the home of Elminster the sage and Drizzt the dark elf - two heroes featured in TSR's best-selling FORGOTTEN REALMS novel line. No setting can match the grand scope of the FORGOTTEN REALMS campaign world. (TSR campaign description) Enter the world of Ansalon, a land of romance and high adventure. Discover tinker gnomes, gully dwarves, nefarious villains, noble heroes ... and dark, deadly dragons. All things draconian play a starring role in this world - from the half-man, half-dragon thugs who patrol the streets, to the evil red dragons who fill the skies, to the beautiful creatures of gold and silver who do battle on the side of good. This is a world struggling to regain its lost honor and glory - a land where unlikely adventurers can become legendary heroes. (TSR campaign description) The Spelljammer campaign was originally created to link the three existing campaign worlds together. Instead of traveling through the planes it was now possible to leave the ground behind and fly to the stars and the worlds beyond. This could be done with spelljamming vessels, ships and ship-like vehicles powered by a helm (a magical chair) or something similar. Thus equipped, the helmsman could take the ship's crew into a weird universe, where alien races like the mind flayers, the evil Neogi and their umber hulk slaves or the beholder clans struggle with human and unhuman races for power in the galaxy. And through the emptiness of black space around these strange worlds travels the lone Spelljammer, the greatest mystery of them all. Whether you journey to Ravenloft for an occasional evening of terror or an extended nightmare, the experience will haunt you forever. The RAVENLOFT campaign is a horrific realm of dread and desire, rooted in the Gothic tradition. The misty fingers of this world can reach into other campaign setting to draw unsuspecting travelers into its midst. Once it holds them in its icy embrace, it may never let them go. In a shadowy world filled with vampires, werewolves, and ghosts, only those who are strong of heart may survive. (TSR campaign description) The DARK SUN world is TSR's most savage game setting - a desert realm scorched by a relentless sun, blasted by the destructive magic of generations of evil wizards. It is a land of evil sorcerer-kings and powerful psionicists (characters with astounding paranormal powers). In this wild and brutal landscape, a single adventurer can alter the course of unfolding history. (TSR campaign description) Take a magic carpet ride to adventure!
