The Hurssian campaigns began life in 1996 whilst in my final year of university. There have been three campaigns thus far. The Orginals follows the original party from their first encounter in September 1996 until 2000. From 2000 until 2002 a campaign loosely called the Wizards was played on a weekly basis. From 2004 until the Watch and the Originals have been played on a weekend basis as time permits. The Watch was also played on a weekly basis between 2014 and 2016. The next weekend game will be the Originals, scheduled for ... err ... sometime in 2020 or 2021. In the meantime there will be a short mini-campaign linked to the Originals, to be played out in 2020.
Originally a 2nd Edition AD&D game, Hurssia has now migrated to D&D 3.5. In migrating the game I have tried to keep as much of the flavour of the old 2nd Edition. To this end only a few selected 3.5 options beyond the core rules are allowable in Hurrsia. There are no plans to convert it again as this process took too long!
