This adventure arch is based on a post that originally appeared on Easter Day 2012 at Rising Phoenix Games. It’s a fantasy adventure that should fit with most systems: I’ve specifically kept it system neutral but I do make references to Dungeons and Dragons type games as most GM’s may be familiar with those concepts. It Begins The characters are approached by an old, half [Read more...]
Dead animals walk the night, and human bodies stir in their graves. Yes, this is an adventure involving undead, but their target is not who you expect…
The Setup In the grand ballroom of Lighthouse Castle in the great kingdom of Gullsdeep, a party is beginning. This is no ordinary party – it is a party announcing the engagement of Crown Prince Charel to his betrothed, Temera. Temera is a beautiful and wealthy princess from the kingdom of Steelpeak, which has a surplus of royal children. In attendance are all of the [Read more...]
It was three earthen years after Obad-Hai’s death, before any proper link was known to the infernal hells. Asmodeus, in his scheming, offered up the archdevil Levistus to take the fall. While the gods bickered amongst themselves as to the proper course of actions, more powers were drawn in, while others fell to hidden blades. The Divine War raged, they entered all the planes, and [Read more...]
This adventure is designed for Warhammer Fantasy, but (of course) could be tweaked for any fantasy game. Plot: The PCs are hired to retrieve some scientific research from the lord’s manor in Blackmoor, though they get more than they bargained for when they find that the area surrounding Blackmoor is indeed cursed. Ultimately, the PCs must identify and eradicate the source of the curse. What’s [Read more...]
The characters have each been individually found guilty of crimes that they have indeed committed. They’re sent to an underground prison, which they must escape from. Have each player make his character with a specific crime that he has committed (one not punishable by death, but severe enough to warrant life in prison). These crimes serve as excellent back-stories, as well as possible future adventures/issues [Read more...]
As the party stepped off the ship, their attention was diverted from the small port city they’d just arrived in to the sheer, black obsidian face of the mountain that formed the eastern and southern boundary of the city proper. The massive stone walls on the northern and western side of the city were nearly as intimidating, as were the huge stone gates that granted [Read more...]
To my dear brother Damod, It is with grave urgency that I write this letter to you. I hope you are well and remember me fondly, despite my detachment in recent times. As you know, my marriage to the ambitious Merkon was one of convenience and although he is not a man of poor looks, it was not love or admiration that brought us together, [Read more...]
Location: A temple at least half a day’s travel from the party’s current location. Situation: The normally unassuming and quiet priests of a nearby temple have started to cause incidents in the neighboring town. Their once-a-week visits have been nothing but unwelcome. Problem: The villagers have become scared of the temple’s priests, clerics, and acolytes, as they have started to threaten them with eternal damnation [Read more...]
Location: Home-town of one of the PCs, or the town they consider their base of operations. Situation: In the past six weeks, three prominent nobles or merchants have been assassinated, one every other week. Problem: The three assassinated persons belong to the same group (noble family, merchant’s guild, or political party). A relative of one of the PCs is also a distinguished member of this group, and [Read more...]
