The Wyzard Runs OD&D
Contents
Introduction
This is the main page for my infamous campaign...but it is not quite as labeled. For quite some time I ran an OD&D game on the RPG.net play-by-post forums. However, the campaign has evolved to run under The Fantasy Trip, another charmingly retro RPG from way back when.
The Slayers
Here you can find character record sheets for all of the currently active PCs.
The Wyzard Runs TFT: The Adventurers
Maps
From time to time, the players may map wilderness or dungeon areas. Links to maps and descriptions of those areas should be placed here.

Languages
Every PC knows the common tongue as their native language. Below I will list some possible languages; ask if you have other nominations.
- Goblin (Works with any of the goblinoid races)
- Fey (For fairy and forest type creatures)
- Draconic (The tongue of dragons - 15 IQ Minimum. Comprehension of the written form requires the Apprentice talent.)
- Giantish
- Old Amaranthian (Dead language, was spoken in a widespread sorcerous empire)
- Thracian (Originally Spoken by a widely-traveled group of seafaring kingdoms. Still spoken in some isolated colonies.)
- Elven
- Dwarven (The written form can only be understood by PCs with the Mathematics talent in addition to literacy)
- Primalingua (Spoken most frequently by angels, demons, and other powerful spirits. Useful in incantations, ambitious players may use Latin to indicate it in IC posts. Cost as a dead language, minimum IQ 12, Hieroglyphics required in addition to literacy to understand written form)
- Elemental (the various elemental types speak slightly different dialects, but this will allow communication - the PC should pick which dialect they have greatest familiarity with)
- The Moon Tongue (The common speech of the lands across the great ocean)
- Reptilian (Language of the degenerate lizardfolk. They had an advanced and powerful civilization in the mists of history, but the tribes still living can no longer even read the writing on the walls of the great ziggurats their ancestors raised. The written form is incomprehensible to humans, but PCs with the Hieroglyphics skill and proficiency with the spoken form might be able to extract some meaning.)
- Necrosian, being the common language of the dead. Not considered a dead language.
Setting Essays
Here will be posted the occasional essay that I write about the setting. If it seems piecemeal, that's intentional. I don't want to define too much.
