Career Twilight

A routine corporate evacuation mission. But could this be the twilight of your career?

Career Twilight is a compact sci-fi horror scenario for use with the Mothership® Sci-Fi Horror Role Playing Game 1E.

The crew is sent to evacuate personnel and prisoners from the Twilight, a corporate research vessel where classified experiments, secrecy, and systemic failure have already turned the mission into a disaster.

The assignment sounds simple: evacuate the remaining personnel, recover the inmates, activate the ship’s autonomous mode, and return without damaging corporate property.

Something went wrong long before the crew arrived.

Farmer Jebsom has a problem - half his farmhouse, along with all of his family fell into a sinkhole that appeared beneath his farm's foundations.  Now he is desparate to get his wife and children back from the mysterious depths and is willing to give 20% of his farm to anyone succeeding in returning them to safety.

This adventure is suitable for a single session's gaming or can be expanded into a longer format sequence of adventures.  The monster statistics are presented for the 2014 5th edition of the world's most well known RPG but can easily be adapted to OSR and other systems.

The text is the author's own work and the maps are hand drawn, but the illustrations are AI generated using the monster descriptions.

Some stories begin with a whispered rumor over watered ale. Others begin with a chair smashing across the room. This supplement provides 100 tavern encounters suitable for fantasy roleplaying games of all styles. These encounters are intentionally flexible: some are humorous, some dangerous, some mysterious, and some can launch entire adventures.

Off the coast of the Beimiranzu, among the many islands that scatter the Broken Bay, lies the Shrine of Arashiwa. Though formally counted among the holdings of the Jigezura Clan, its allegiance exists largely on paper. The island lords who govern that region are divided in their interests, and no single authority maintains direct oversight of the shrine. As a result, Arashiwa has long acted with a degree of independence unusual for a site of such importance, owing in part to its exemption from taxation and its position along well-traveled sea routes. Merchants and sailors my sources spoke with in the ports of Jigezura were in agreement on this point, though none could say with certainty which lord, if any, might claim true authority over the island.

DM Essentials #153: Ten Fighter Mercenary Encounters

In most games, fighters are just the person who hits things. Sword, shield, second wind, next fight.

But a mercenary is not a hero. They are a professional. They fight because the coin is good – or because the coin is better than starving. They carry the weight of contracts broken, faces remembered, and the quiet knowledge that the next job might be the one they don't walk away from.

DM Essentials #153 gives you ten ways to make fighter mercenaries feel like real people at your table – not as hirelings or walking stat blocks, but as soldiers haunted by what they've done for a handful of silver. The contract is signed. The enemy is waiting. Will the party trust the woman who fights for pay?

What's Inside?

The Fighter Mercenary: For Gold, For Survival, For the Job (Short Essay)
Who they are, why the contract is sacred – until it isn't, and what it costs to kill for a living.

10 Encounters with the Hired Blade
Each one gives you the surface interaction, the hidden truth, and a primary check for the party to navigate.

1. The Stiffed Contract – A mercenary captain wasn't paid. He plans to steal the lord's heirloom to feed his men.
2. The Better Offer – A mercenary tests the party by pretending to switch sides. Stay calm, or reveal your desperation.
3. The Deserter – A soldier ran from a massacre. He saved a child. The commander is the real coward.
4. The Unpaid Company – A rogue company raids villages. Their captain was murdered by the paymaster.
5. The Recruit – A soft‑handed young fighter asks for training. They are a runaway noble hiding from marriage.
6. The Massacre – A mercenary drinks alone, haunted by an atrocity. He wants to defect – but needs proof.
7. The Veteran – An old soldier is dying. He wants to be buried with a sword lost fifty years ago.
8. The Betrayer – A mercenary offers to sell out his employer. He has done this three times before.
9. The Spoils – A mercenary company bickers over a cursed sword. The blade will kill its owner within a week.
10. The Last Job – A mercenary takes an impossible contract. They have a death wish. They want witnesses.

Quick Reference Table – Roll d10 and get a full encounter hook in seconds, including the primary skill check.

Who This Is For:

- DMs who want fighters to feel grounded, not generic
- Players who think a mercenary is just a sword for hire – until they see the hollow eyes
- Anyone who understands that killing for coin leaves scars that never heal

The captain sits alone in the tavern. The pouch is empty. The contract is a lie. His men are watching him, waiting.

The world of Theira has fallen, torn apart by cataclysms caused by reactivation of ancient power sources created by forgotten kingdoms. Treasure hunters, mercenaries, explorers, and outcasts now wander these dangerous lands searching for wealth, relics, and lost knowledge.

Uncharted Realms is an old-school fantasy roleplaying game focused on exploration, survival, and discovery. Travel across dangerous frontiers, uncover hidden sites during hex-crawls, delve into ancient dungeons, and recover powerful relics from fallen civilizations. The game blends classic sword & sorcery adventure with weird fantasy and mysterious ether-tech in a setting filled with forgotten history and lurking horrors.

Uncharted Realms Features:

• Fast and deadly old-school inspired RPG gameplay mixed with modern 5e style rules
• Combes magic, gunpowder, and ether-technology
• A fallen world filled with ancient mysteries and forgotten civilizations
• Full bestiary of wild creatures and strange monsters of the ethereal void
• Wilderness hex-crawling and procedural exploration of caves, dungeons and chasms
• Explore the surface lands, the underworld and the ethereal void in search of artifacts
• Set in the world of DeepWars and ShadowSea

The quickstart RPG rulebook has 161 pages with all you need to start an adventure.

Six Character Classes

• Fighter – Skilled in weapons and armor
• Mage – Casts powerful magic spells
• Outlander – Wilderness explorers and trackers
• Priest – Divine warriors and healers
• Rogue – Sneaky and clever with many skills
• Scientist – Uses technology and artifacts

Six Ancestries

• Human – Versatile with many skills
• Elf – Temperamental, natural magical ability
• Dwarf – Tough and hardy, inventive talents
• Half-elf – Nomads and free spirits
• Axibali – Fearless and agile
• Hexborn – Infernal-touched monster hunters

Gameplay Features

• A spell Point system for magic, using a spellcasting roll with a chance for corruption. Casting can be powerful but harnessing too much magic is dangerous.
• The monetary system is based on simplified coin types (gold, silver, copper) and trading in valuable crystals for powering technology and rare metals for crafting magic weapons and armor.
• Core rules are similar to BX OSR, with an added skill proficiency system. Hit points are low, with monsters built in the classic OSR style.
• Combat system based on classic BX style group initiative, modified by the Tactics skill of the party leader. Battles are fast and deadly, with mighty attacks, targeted critical strikes, team attacks, spell amplification and other features that add a risk-reward aspect to gameplay.
• Ether tech devices and gunpowder weapons are available for a price, but the most powerful ancient technology and magic items are only found in ancient ruins and the underworld. The people of the surface world are in constant war to capture as many artifacts as possible.
• Procedural rules for generating random caves to the underworld, perfect for solo play!
• A bestiary of 92 monsters with stats, many with full color artwork.
• Treasure tables for the monsters in the bestiary, with magic items, tech artifacts, weapons, armor, scrolls, tomes and potions. The tables are streamlined and are suitable for solo play.
• Rules for hex travel on land, dungeon exploration, transport with animals and vehicles, settlements, NPCs and reputation.
• An introductory adventure “Dragonblood Valley” for levels 1-4, with a hex travel map and dungeons below the Argosian Ruins.
