. Introduction and Thanks
ÐKnights of the DaystormÑ was a Dungeons &
Dragons campaign my old friends and I played
over the course of about three years around
2000-Ó03. It was loosely based on SquareÓs NES
classic ÐFinal FantasyÑ, a game I played through
about a dozen times. So the roots of this story
go pretty deep with me.

A very special thanks to all
the folks who pitched in
during the extensive
creation process of KotDS:

I wanted to capture the feel of going from
dungeon to dungeon across the various worlds,
accumulating loot and facing a wide variety of
challenges with a small team of heroes. To me,
thatÓs a lot of what D&D is about.

But itÓs also about the friends you game with
along the way. I still keep up with all my old
D&D buddies even though itÓs been years since
we played. We always like to reminisce about
this campaign.

So I hope you enjoy it as much as we did. I
know itÓs a bit foreboding at first, cracking open
this tome of maps and rules. But itÓs all been
tested and itÓs all for the sake of fun. If youÓve
been looking for a solid campaign scenario, and
youÓve got the product to create it in all its glory,
youÓve in for a real treat! Have fun!
AND IN PARTICULAR
ZBeeblebrox whose
playtests and perspective
were invaluable from the
start.
GreyOwl for helping with
the final presentation.

Zzzzz for creating
Virtualscape, one of the
game’s most vital
resources!
With a Sword!
Thanks!

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Special Rules
There are four element-themed dungeons and
one final dungeon called ÐSanctuaryÑ. The
Knights choose the order in which to complete
the elemental dungeons, striving to acquire the
Elemental Artifact Key protected by each
dungeonÓs final Guardian. If the Knights do so,
they travel to Icaria for the final dungeon and
final victory: the very source of the wellsprings!

3 players: Two players share the role of the Knights.
Each player has a set of order markers they may place
on any of the Knight’s army cards, however no single
can card can have more than one of a given numbered
order marker. The DM also plays with two sets of
Order Markers but is not bound by
the same
restriction.

THE FIRST TIME YOU PLAY
In ÐKnights of the DaystormÑ, one side plays the
role of the Knights of the Daystorm, a group of
heroes who begin on Earth but eventually hail
from various worlds. The other side will play the
role of the Dungeon Master, and itÓs your job to
stop the Knights using the plethora of creatures,
traps, and puzzles at your disposal.
4 players: Two players each share the roles of Knights
and DM and each player has his own set of Order
Markers. Again, players of the Knights of the
Daystorm may not repeat Order Markers on the same
card, but the DM’s can.

Earth's Knights
The Knights player may never control more than
6 spaces and 450 points worth of Unique

ever enter a new room with more than the
allotted points or spaces worth of units, the
player must discard units back into the draft pool
until these requirements are satisfied.
•Agent Carr - 100 points
•Agent Skahen - 120 points
•Alastair Macdirk - 110 points
•Brave Arrow - 50 points
•Crixus - 90 points

At the outset of the campaign, the Knights player
may draft from the pool of heroes on the
adjacent list. After each dungeon, this pool will
expand per that scenarioÓs guidelines.
Once a figure is chosen, it cannot be replaced
unless destroyed in a dungeon. Once a Knight,
always a Knight!
Spirits (such as Finn the Viking ChampionÓs
ÐWarrior Attack Spirit 1Ñ) placed a KnightÓs army
card carry over between dungeons, and can
never be moved to a different Knight. If that
Knight is destroyed, the Spirit bonus is lost.
When moving from one room to another in a
dungeon, remove all wound markers from
KnightsÓ army cards.
If all Knights are destroyed in the first dungeon
they attempt, the KnightsÓ player may draft an
entirely new group and repeat the same
dungeon again from the start.
If all Knights are destroyed again, or are
destroyed at any other time after the first
dungeon, the campaign is over and the DM wins!
