Adventure Shorts Volume 2 – Coming Soon

We're just about ready to release our second installment of Adventure Shorts. They should be available on DriveThruRPG in less than two weeks.

Here's a little bit about what we're planning:

What if while planning a route to their next objective your player characters discover another route that they’re told will save them a day’s travel time? Would they take it? They might have a pleasant walk through a little-traveled area of the woods, or they might discover the Cult of Myrkul waiting for them.

Adventure shorts volume two contains two encounters, written for fifth edition of the world's most popular roleplaying game. The first encounter, Shortcut, can be played as a stand-alone or as a lead-in to the second more detailed encounter, Obsidian Temple. We’re trying something new this time by providing balanced encounters and treasure for a party of five characters from levels two through five. If played together the encounters are expected to last for about a two or three-hour gaming session.

Adventure Secrets

There are always a few things in our adventures that are taken from the real world, maybe even someplace we’ve been, and then modified slightly to be used as the basis for a town, castle, etc. Our thought in doing this was to add realism and another layer of interest to our work. We also thought it would make a fun game. We’re wondering if anyone can figure out what place we used as the basis for the Fort of Fire and Ice in the Blackstone Tomb adventure?

Blackstone Tomb is Here

The day has finally come; we've launched our first full-length adventure, Blackstone Tomb.

In the depths of Black Mountain there’s a secret. Hidden for a generation Castle Blackstone’s Tomb lies waiting for redemption.

Years ago a dark wizard used the tomb to practice his evil magic. He desecrated the resting place of Castle Blackstone’s heroes and used their bodies, practicing spells to reanimate the dead. When his crimes were discovered, Southern Realm soldiers captured him, but not before many of them died. The few who survived worked to seal the tomb and keep it a secret.

It’s up to your adventurers to discover the secret, bring the tomb back to light and restore the honor of those who still rest there.

Happy adventuring!

On The Horizon

Through the mists of imagination there’s a new continent on the horizon, a place some say is called the Land of Arvum. Tales tell of a place of diverse landscape, countries with rich histories, people of varied races and the home of many fantastic creatures. And for those with a stout heart, a place that promises to be a land of adventure.

In a small corner of this land lies a village, more like an outpost, on an old road near the edge of a vast forest called the Guardian Woods. The people that live there are friendly, but don’t let that fool you, they have to be tough to survive in this place. This is where your adventure begins.

Our fist full-length adventure, Blackstone Tomb, promises to deliver some dark tales, mysteries to discover and challenges to overcome. This is your introduction to the Land of Arvum and a country located there called the Southern Realm.

Release dates to be announced soon.
