Bronwyn's D&D Game 

I currently run an ongoing Dungeons and Dragons (R) 3rd edition game on a weekly basis. My gaming and GMing style focuses heavily on character interaction, non-combat game scenarios, and a richly detailed game world. Consequently, I have put together a number of documents for player and GM reference over the course of my game. Those that are available for all players to look at are linked to below, in pdf format. Please note that these documents are copyright to myself, Bronwyn Johnson, and may not be distributed or sold without my express permission. They are placed online for the convenience of my players and potential players, not as an open invitation to take them and do what you will. I am, however, happy for 'net surfers to download documents for their own personal use, and would appreciate an e-mail letting me know if you found them useful or interesting.

Maps

• Game World Map (Human) - A map of the game world, as viewed by human inhabitants of the land of Amara. Where the human kingdom is ignorant of some elements of the game world, those elements are absent from the map. There are cultural maps for human aristocrats, elves, and halflings, but these are not available to all players.
• Laria/Norista Map - A zoomed-in version of the above map, focusing on the region of the Amara - Elfland border, and the cities of Laria and Norista. This is the area the PCs are currently adventuring in. Some smaller villages are not marked on the map.

Game World Culture

• Overview - Overview of the game world from an in-game humanocentric perspective. Land, religion, literacy, government, economics, races, magic, trade, technology, sayings, and recreation. If you play a human character, this is all the information you get on other cultures.
• Human Culture - Human culture in the land of Amara, the human kingdom. Note that similar documents are available for other humanoid races, but are not publicly available to all players, and are thus not on this website.
• Elven Words - Sample words from the Elven language, with Common translations. I use this document primarily as a source for creating Elven surnames, and being able to give Common versions of those surnames.
• The Afterlife - The way the afterlife works in my game world, including reflections on how this affects the conduct of the living. My afterlife realms are located in a ring encircling the Material, Ethereal and Shadow Planes (see The Great Wheel in D&D Cosmology).
• Calendar - A fantasy calendar with 12 months of 28 days each, and 4 intercalary festivals of 5 days each, a 356 day year. Includes details of major and minor festivals. The names and some details of the months are taken from the "Nightrunner Series" of books by Lynn Flewelling.
• Racial Interactions - Table and narrative description of how the various dominant humanoid races interact in the game world. Includes information on racial languages, and the applicable house rules on having a language at "native" proficiency.
• Racial Appearances - Descriptions of typical appearance and range variation in appearance of the common PC races. Descriptions based partially off PHB (Player's Handbook) descriptions.

Systems Information & House Rules

• 3E D&D Character Creation - A step by step detailed guide to creating a 1st level character in 3rd edition Dungeons and Dragons.
• Elven Aging - A revision of the scale of aging for elves, a modification which allows a middle aged elf to have an adult elven child. This model also allows easy calculation of elvish ages to human ages.
• Character Creation Limitations - Limitations on new players for character creation, with notes on the removal of the Law-Chaos alignment axis, and the restrictions on the Death, Necromancy and Evil domains.
• Religion, Gods, and Alignment - Game world definitions of Good and Evil (plus Neutral), the new "Night" domain for clerics, and adjusted details of Gods in the game world, including gender changes for some deities, new areas of deity responsibilities, and new domain allocation for deities (with the loss of Law and Chaos as domains). Detailed descriptions of the Gods are given, which supplement the PHB (Player's Handbook) descriptions. Also includes some cultural background details of some common myths in the game world.
• Skill Rank Progression - Details of restrictions on skill rank progression in my game. Longstanding players should note that this is the revised version of this document.
