Strange Cargo is not a catalog. It’s a hold full of opportunity, danger, and stories waiting to happen.

Every merchant captain knows the truth: cargo is never just cargo.

A sealed crate humming softly in the dark. Refugees hidden among legitimate passengers. Antiquities wrapped in prayer cloth and lies. Livestock that bites through bulkheads. Government pallets marked do not inspect. A shipment that pays too well. A container no one will claim. A simple freight run that turns into a chase across three subsectors.

This book is about those jobs.

Inside these pages are one thousand cargos, contracts, odd jobs, questionable deliveries, black-market opportunities, mysterious consignments, and desperate patrons ready to pay hard credits for a crew willing to haul something from point A to point B—assuming point B still exists when you get there.

Categories covered;

This book includes;

1000 cargos broken into 10 table (D100)

fully bookmarked

Because in the far future, fortunes are not made hauling grain.

They’re made hauling strange cargo.

For as long as anyone can remember, Olmara has watched over Hollow Hill.

The great tortoise is older than the village of Hollowmere itself — older than its oldest records, older than its oldest stories. Generations of children have been brought to touch her shell for good luck. Elders climb the hill to speak their worries aloud to her patient, amber eyes. The valley below is blessed in quiet ways that no one has ever fully explained, and no one has ever needed to.

Two weeks ago, she stopped moving.

The village fears she is dying. She is not. She is waiting — for someone worthy to receive the sacred duty she has carried for centuries, and for someone to help that person understand what they've been chosen for.

That someone is the players.

The Shepherd of Hollow Hill is the second entry in the Hearthside Tales series: short, standalone adventures built for a single warm session of play. This adventure features no combat, no dungeon, and no world-ending stakes. It is a story about patience, community, and the quiet power of people who show up for one another without being asked.

What's Inside:

• A fully written, system-agnostic adventure for 3–5 players of any experience level
• The village of Hollowmere, with key locations and atmosphere ready to bring to life
• Five richly written NPCs: Olmara the ancient tortoise, village elder Maren Ashford, the reluctant chosen Elowen Thatch, devoted child Pip Mossworth, and the warm skeptic Corvin Dusk
• Three-act structure with clear GM guidance, read-aloud text, and pacing notes
• GM tip boxes throughout for running Olmara's wordless communication
• A system-agnostic creature profile for Olmara
• A d6 village flavor table for added texture between scenes
• Four Midjourney art prompts for cover and interior illustration
• Full legal page with CC BY 4.0 licensing

Recommended for: New GMs, players new to tabletop RPGs, one-shot nights, convention play, and anyone who wants a session that feels like coming home.

Hearthside Tales adventures are designed to be run in a single session of 2–4 hours. No system knowledge required.

Wulferon Keep

A 5th level D&D 5e 2024 adventure.

Frozen in time. Flawless in form. Fatal in its perfection.

High atop a jagged crag, where the mountain winds howl through the pines, stands Wulferon Keep. To the passing traveler, it is a miracle—a fortress built "yesterday," with white marble halls, warm hearths, and a garrison that never sleeps. But for the curious adventurer, the Keep is a living trap of domestic order.

In Wulferon, every pillow is fluffed by phantom hands, every meal is served by the dead, and every book returned to its shelf by a force that refuses to let the past die. Under the watchful, silent eye of the Spectral Sentinel, the Keep exists in a state of "Perfect Restoration." Change even a single room, and the house itself will rise to correct you.

Designed to help Game Masters create memorable grassland locations with minimal prep time.

The Five Points has always been judged by those above it, condemned as a district of drunks, cutthroats, and beggars too wild to govern themselves, yet beneath the soot and shouting something new begins to take shape, quiet at first, almost respectable in appearance, as a thieves guild emerges not through brute force but through order, discipline, and strange ambition, gathering pickpockets, burglars, confidence tricksters, and smugglers beneath a shared structure that values refinement over chaos, insisting upon rules, standards, and conduct where once there had only been desperation, and in doing so the guild unsettles the city far more than open violence ever could, for its members move through the streets with tailored confidence, speaking carefully, dressing sharply, and conducting theft not as reckless crime but as organized enterprise, while offering protection, coin, and opportunity to those the city ignores, and soon even ordinary folk begin to question whether these criminals behave with more fairness than the officials and businessmen who condemn them, and as the guild’s influence spreads through taverns, markets, and shadowed counting houses, so too does resistance from those who fear what such a transformation might mean, for the old gangs resent the challenge to tradition, the authorities despise the guild’s growing popularity, and the wealthy grow nervous at the sight of thieves behaving like gentlemen, and you stand within this shifting order, where crime itself is being reshaped into something disturbingly civilized.
