Origins

Dungeonhammer is a collection of fantasy-role-playing game rules from various sources, including Basic (Holmes version) D&D, AD&D (1st edition and some 2nd edition), WFRP (1st edition), a bunch of house rules, and other random inspiration. The game world is a varient Old World in the Warhammer tradition, with notable differences and editions to the nations, races, and gods therein. There are many carryover places, gods, and names from my first D&D campaign world, which was Greyhawk. Influences from several of the better D&D Gazetteeers are noted, as well as some ideas from Lone Wolf as well as other more unusual sources. The hand of Judges Guild is felt strongly here, and many of the "classic" 1st edition AD&D modules have a place here as well.

In short; I ripped off everyone for ideas, added my own, and threw the rest away.

It makes a heck of a salad, which I and my players have been enjoying for years now, and we still play every other week, breaking during the summer months to pursue another hobby that involves sleeping in medieval pavilions in the woods, singing by firelight, and wearing real armor...
