As promised, I am adding my original Dungeons and Dragons adventure module. I have not edited this one in years, short of correcting my spelling errors. It is clear, I was not a good speller when I was younger and let’s just leave it like that.

D&D, or Dungeons and Dragons, has seen a resurgence of late. If you currently play, this module will look a lot different from what you are used to seeing. Advanced Dungeons and Dragons, or AD&D as we referred to it, was an update to the original rules. It started with the original rules and added new character classes, a combat system and then tightened up and codifying the rules. It was the last version Gary Gygax , the original creator of Dungeons and Dragons, worked on.

Influences

As you can imagine, Khylindril’s Tower is heavily influenced by AD&D and there are nods to some of my favorite AD&D books like Gord the Rogue and the Dragonlance Chronicles. There are lots of other fantasy fictional influences, but my love for AD&D will be apparent when reading.

The biggest influence, however, is The Hobbit or There and Back Again by J.R.R. Tolkien. I read this book in one weekend when I was 11 years old. It was the first full novel I had ever read and my love of fantasy fiction was born. The problem, of course, is when you start with one of the greatest children’s novels of all time, you continue to compare it to every thing else you have read. This is true for writing. I often stopped writing because I felt it sounded too much like other books I have read. I realized, however, there are going to be influences in everyone’s writing.

You can find the Module here or in download section on the right side of every page. For all of my writing, check out the Downloads page.

Enjoy!
