What is it about?

ACKS SRD presents the first-edition Adventurer Conqueror King rules. Characters can progress from expeditions and treasure hunting to building strongholds and governing domains. This reference is separate from ACKS II.

At the table

Attack throws and saving throws use a d20 with modifiers, aiming to meet or exceed the required value. The rules also cover classes, spells, exploration, encounters and higher-level domain play.
