====== Eldritch Earth: Five Hacks Deep ======

Set in an alternate earth, the heroes create their own expeditions to leave small pockets of safety to explore a wilderness dotted with the horrors and riches of a decadent, fallen civilization. This Lords of Hack 5e/OSR crossover game aims to embrace a [[the sandbox|"Western Marches"]] style of play. We hope to use the skeleton of the [[https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/DnD_BasicRules_2018.pdf|5e open-source ruleset]], overlaid with the OSR goodness of [[Five Torches Deep]] along with our own house rules sprinkled on top for a middle ages "chivalry and sorcery" feel.
