Karameikos: Kingdom of Adventure is a 209-page campaign setting boxed set for [missing data] released in July 1994..
Official synopsis[]
This box set presents the campaign setting of the Kingdom of Karameikos, itself a part of the larger Mystara campaign setting. The box set contains the following:
- The Explorer's Guide, containing background information for the setting. - The Adventure Book, containing two adventures. - 2 poster-sized maps. - parchment maps and several player handouts. - hero cards.
Much of the information in the background is present in GAZ1: The Grand Duchy of Karameikos, but with the time line advanced to encompass events that occurred in Wrath of the Immortals.
Karameikos is a small, young kingdom in an old land. Still very much a frontier nation carved from the ancient wilderness that hide the remains of ancient civilizations, there is no shortage of excitement for the intrepid adventurer.
Though ostensibly written for the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition rules set, much of the content is rules-independent, and the setting can be easily adapted to other systems.
Note on the Print version: All of the booklets, cards, and maps have been combined into a single collected book. If you plan on using the maps at your table we recommend purchasing the PDF+Print combo and printing the maps from the PDF.
The Audio CD is not included.
