Hackmaster


Originally developed as a parody of D&D, Hackmaster mocked the game for its rules and its player's zeal for
treasure and hacking away at any monster. It harkens back to the days of 1st Edition AD&D and D&D. First introduced in the comic "Knights of the Dinner Table", we watch the characters play within the world. Soon the Hackmaster Wurld was born as the concept took off, and it even managed to make itself part of the D&D Universes... especially since it now had ties with Ravenloft, Spelljammer, Forgotten Realms, and Greyhawk Campaign Settings!.

The planet Aldrazar is the main world. It is the fifth planet away from the sun, and orbited by three moons; Arlora, Bardra'kar, and Shadara. The other planets are; Glyphen-Tur, Zagnabar, Lufin-Melch, Vordes-Jiar, Lamanfish, Olupi'sard, Kyldren, Quahbbor-Claaz, Ryuto-Mas, Isdurn, Palajanari, Erxixor, Harquan, Lenid-Pixak, and Farfegworld. Most of the inhabitants here are human, and their are rather unique hybrids of the standard races as well. Sadly Pixie here are often hunted, as most uncivilized creatures have developed a taste for there flesh.  

 Although Hackmaster can be played on any wurld, the official campaign setting of "Garweeze Wurld" takes place on the planet of Aldrazar. It has the flavor of a Mystara/Oerath world. The setting itself is filled with familiar creatures, as well some zanny creations that only could be found in the Hackmaster Universe.
