Glyndael Chronicles (HackMB)
Sprinkled with homebrew flavor, this original fantasy campaign primarily uses the Hackmaster Basic rules set. Grand tales of thrilling adventure and mighty victories fill the night air, along with the occasional snicker or guffaw, as the path of danger becomes more complex and ever more tempting. The heroes are trying to survive and hoping against hope to succeed. But succeed in what, exactly?
Everything has a beginning . . .
Glyndael is a bustling trading and agriculture town, due in part to being at a major crossroads only one day’s ride (or two for caravans) from the massive seaport capitol Crystal Bay, a sprawling metropolis.
Each generation has seen a special group of young Glyndaelites pulled magnetically together to face threats both great and small. There exists a theory that undefined powerful magics are behind the cyclical rise of heroes from this relatively unassuming town.
Seventy-five years (three generations) ago, one such party of brave heroes began their journey to greatness on the streets of Glyndael, and carved a path of such might and magnitude that the history of nations were forever changed.
That was then. Things have been silent and, according to some, rather dull for a very long time. Some wonder if the times of epic heroes are fading into the obscurity of local tales told next to the crackling fires to inspire imaginations.
There has been a growing sense of unease in the air. Something undefinable, yet primal. Things are afoot. A few individuals have begun to wonder if it is the time when the next group of talented youth bind together in adventure, becoming a near unstoppable force. And if they do, will it be for the best?

Re. the Miniatures in the Character images: All but Barnsley (that player painted their own) are minis that I have painted. Some of them might be any where from 2 to 20+ years old, some of them are minis from the one-hour speed painting competitions I did at various Gencons, and some of them are more recent (Corgin is a sample of a recent paint job). Finding miniature models to supply the images of some of my NPCs may end up being a bit tricky! Ha!
Thanks Dow! Always great to see Hackmasters here. ;) I have every intention of writing up the adventure log from March’s session very soon…
Nice work, m8. Working through your content, but it looks like you guys have a lot of fun!
Getting the adventure logs all fully “novelized” is an ongoing project of mine, but I find doing a quick outline and short recap is fantastic for my memory since the game is only run once per month. Thanks for taking an interest!
Looking forward to reading through your adventure logs AD – that’s a part of the OP stuff I’ve yet to tackle.
Yeah, mines even more under construction than yours! I’m hoping to get some adventure log up soon, since we’re finally playing again after a couple of months hiatus. Reading other peoples adventures is inspiring. =)
Thank you! It’s very much still a work-in-progress, but a lot of fun . . . and always awesome to see other Hackmaster GMs/players on here. Woot!
Loving reading through your wiki and stuff dude. NPC’s and Characters and the log, it’s all cool.
