Kobolds, Goblins and Roses - Oh My!
Gnomish Realms Project Update
Adventures - Saturdays @ 6 PM

Gnomish Realms Project - Adventurers Wanted

Many brave adventurers have been seen in the Border Kingdoms, south of the Lake of Steam. Many odd stories of undead wandering north out of the Grand Duchy of Shantal and golins raiding ner Aerendale have drawn those of brave heart and strong steel.

Adventure in the Realms is always fresh as we manage this "Living" style campaign at Gnome Games. Stop in, visit the Gnomish Realms website or email us at realms@gnomegames.com for more information.

The threat of Kobolds near Aerendale tuned out to be a small drow enclave, that was summarily dealt with by the militia from Aerendale led by a boisterous barbarian warrior. They drove the goblins and kobolds back and were such an overwhelming force that the drow enclave appears to have departed, but not before one of their members was slain.

The campaign will undergo a complete character restart in June when 4th Edition is released, but all PC's will be eligible for official NPC status if they have adventured at least once between May 1st and June 15. The current storyline will continue.

The adventure schedule for Gnomish Realms for May and June is:

May 17th - No Gnomish Realms - unless you want to host a replay (You'll need your own GM). It's Game On! Weekend - a fundraiser for the Green Bay Boys and Girls Club.

May 24th Gnomish Realms Interactive -

the location is back in Shantel where adventurers have brought back news of Arachnia, the local seamstress being alive and questioning why her home was sold?
