Our Story
Adventuring Since 1983
It took years of painstaking labor and unbridled play to bring Duskenhaig to life, but it all started in a weekly D&D campaign that grew to include more groups, meetups, and conventions in the 1980s.
We launched Duskenhaig nationally in 1983 as a play-by-mail game advertised in the back of Dragon. It was $3.50 a turn and, yes, you read that right — we played by mail (- ‿◦ )
Here's the first ad and the issue of Dragon it appeared in. Decades later, there are now hundreds of pages of lore, campaign content, maps, and more to digitize.
Four decades later, we're bringing the world back to life—this time with help from AI.
Original maps, character notes, and setting documents from the '80s were used to seed generative models. Portions of the lore, cartography, and NPC art were co-created with AI, then rewritten, refined, and redrawn in an iterative loop inside Big Lever Ventures' AI Collaboratory.
What you're seeing is a new version of the old world—still wild, still weird, but built faster, deeper, and more collaboratively than we ever imagined in 1983.
