SILENCE AT DAWNFALL REACH

A Challengers Adventure for Savage Worlds

FROM: Ranger Command, Proxima Station
TO: All Active Ranger Teams
PRIORITY: High
CLASSIFICATION: Restricted

SITUATION: Dawnfall Reach colony (population 2,047, frontier agri-world) has missed three scheduled check-ins over 14 days. Last transmission: routine harvest report, no abnormalities indicated.

Terra Nova Agricultural Coordination Office flags this as priority concern—Dawnfall Reach produces 8% of Terra Nova's grain reserves. Supply chain disruption threatens food security across three systems.

MISSION OBJECTIVES:

• Establish contact with colony administration

• Determine cause of communication failure

• Assess population status and agricultural operations

• Restore communications or arrange evacuation if necessary

• Maintain operational discretion

INTELLIGENCE: Established 2341 (5 years old), single settlement "Harvest's End." Population: 2,047 registered residents. Economy: Grain production, Velythrian hydroponic integration. Last transmission 14 days ago: "All systems nominal."

AUTHORIZATION: Standard Ranger protocols. Prioritize civilian safety.

You arrive to find a ghost town.

Streets intact. Buildings functional. Agricultural drones still working the fields. Meals left half-eaten on tables, now spoiled. Children's toys abandoned mid-game.

Two thousand people—gone. No bodies. No distress calls. No survivors.

Just surveillance drones watching from above, learning how Rangers investigate. Someone wanted this colony. Someone took every living soul and left the infrastructure running. And now they're watching you.

The pattern is escalating. The enemy is studying. And Terra Nova is next.

What's Inside:

• Complete 3-act horror/investigation adventure (3–5 sessions)

• The neutron bomb effect: infrastructure intact, population ZERO

• Surveillance drones that watch, learn, and adapt to PC tactics

• Multiple decision paths: fight, flee, deceive, or capture

• Optional atmospheric escape chase sequence

• Dramatic tasks, skill challenges, and species spotlight moments

• Direct sequel to Ghost on the Lane—the mystery deepens

The Investigation Begins. The Watchers Are Waiting.

Will your crew escape with the truth—or become the next abduction?

Unveil the secrets of a desecrated tomb, confront un­dead war­dens, and face the wrath of a corrupted champion.

Background

Lady Lareessa of the Jagged Mountains was a renowned paladin, celebrated for her unyielding struggle against necromancy and the Undead. After her heroic death half a century ago, she was laid to rest in a half-underground tomb shaped after her trusty sword, Light’s Justice—a weapon rumored to have enhanced her paladin abilities. Her shield, Dawnward, was interred alongside her, symbolizing her eternal vigilance. Her squire, Reinald Ashwyke, and her loyal steed, Silvermane, died at her side, and were also interred in the tomb.

A small detachment of the Veilbound Fellowship tended the tomb and the surrounding grounds, accepting pilgrims who came to pay their respects to the fallen paladin. However, a few days ago, an evil force desecrated the tomb, and now an undead Lady Lareessa, a cruel mockery of her former self, roams the previously hallowed halls. Her new form is too weak to leave the tomb, but it's only a matter of time before she gains the strength to break free and wreak havoc in the region.

Veilbound Fellowship

Famous tombs—especially those of holy or heroic individuals—are often guarded and tended by lower-ranking members of the Veilbound Fellowship. This worldwide organization is dedicated to protecting places of eternal rest from necromancy and grave robbing. Tragically, the clergy assigned to Lady Lareessa’s tomb were slain by her and raised as undead.

The adventure contains a section on the organization, detailing lore and providing quest hooks.

The Reserva lies underground, beneath a one-room building where Carlos’s assistants once worked. There they acted as intermediaries between the public and the prisoners, often dealing with families who wanted to commit someone, and rarely with those who wished to visit.

The Menagerie, Volume III: Vermin

The Final Volume of the Original Menagerie

Not all threats roar.
Some crawl, swarm, burrow, and wait.

The Menagerie, Volume III: Vermin completes the original Menagerie trilogy, bringing the collection to its natural conclusion by focusing on the smallest creatures with the largest consequences. Where monsters shatter kingdoms and animals define the wilds, vermin undermine the world quietly—through neglect, imbalance, and time.

This volume is not a list of throwaway encounters. It is a toolkit for Game Masters who want their worlds to feel alive, reactive, and fragile.

What’s Inside

Volume III: Vermin explores creatures often ignored in fantasy roleplaying—and shows how they can drive tension, collapse, and story.

Inside you’ll find:

• Detailed Vermin Entries, including:

  • Ants (from common swarms to dire colonies)

  • Bees and Wasps (including fire variants)

  • Beetles, Centipedes, Scorpions, and Spiders

  • Insects (Catchall), featuring grasshoppers, locusts, butterflies, dragonflies, fireflies, ladybugs, and more

• Multiple Size Variants for many creatures, from Tiny nuisances to Dire threats that reshape regions

• Behavior and Ecology Sections for every entry, grounding each creature in the living world of Vaeloraranth

• Cultural Lore, showing how common folk, scholars, and traditions understand and respond to vermin

• Clear Mechanical Hooks for survival, travel, combat, and environmental play

Beyond the Bestiary

This volume goes further than creature statistics.

Expanded GM Tools include:

• A full appendix on using vermin in campaigns, covering:

  • Environmental storytelling

  • Economic and agricultural impact

  • Disease, decay, and long-term consequences

  • Moral and ecological dilemmas

• A robust collection of Vermin Adventure Seeds, designed to scale from local nuisance to regional disaster

Vermin are presented not as filler encounters, but as systems under stress—early warnings of deeper problems, or catalysts for major story arcs.

The Capstone of the Original Menagerie

With Monsters, Animals, and now Vermin, the original Menagerie is complete.

This final volume ties the collection together by answering a simple question:

What happens when the small things are ignored for too long?

The answer is collapse.

The Menagerie, Volume III: Vermin is ideal for Game Masters who want:

• Living ecosystems

• Consequences that unfold over time

• Subtle threats that feel real

• A world that doesn’t wait for heroes to act

The world doesn’t always end in fire.

Sometimes, it rots.

Your Legends Start Here: The Unlabeled Fantasy Map

Looking for a high-quality, blank canvas centerpiece for your role-playing game?

This map is the ideal handout for your gaming group. Since it is completely unlabeled, it serves as the perfect blank slate.

The world is ready. Write your history!

Every pirate fleet needs somewhere to disappear.

Pirate Cove: Hidden Cove brings the heart of the pirate stronghold to life—a secluded anchorage and underground network designed as a true home base for outlaws, smugglers, and free captains. This pack focuses on where pirates regroup, divide loot, plan raids, and hide from the reach of law and empire.

The pack includes two large exterior maps of the hidden cove itself:

• A sheltered anchorage with docks, and a tent camp

• An alternate version featuring a lit watchfire, signaling activity, celebration, or heightened alert

Beneath the cliffs, a fully realized smuggler’s cave complex integrates directly with the cove above, providing layered play and multiple entry points:

• Pirate Treasure Room for hoards, vaults, and dangerous temptations

• Prison Cells for captured enemies, informants, or mutinous crew

• Council Chamber for secret meetings, power struggles, and betrayals

• Cargo Storage & Smuggling Areas for contraband, supplies, and stolen goods

All maps are designed to function independently or together as a connected hideout, allowing Game Masters to shift seamlessly between open-air encounters and tense underground scenes.

Whether your players are defending their haven, plotting their next raid, staging a jailbreak, or uncovering secrets buried beneath the cove, Pirate Cove: Hidden Cove provides a believable, reusable pirate base built for long-term campaigns.

Each volume of Tales from the Tape Deck is inspired by a music playlist from a specific genre. The music style inspires the theme, and the playlist itself serves as a timer for your game. Each playlist is linked to a QR code, allowing you to access it on any major streaming platform.

Each playlist is approximately 1 hour long and is played twice, for a total of 2 hours of gameplay. So if you don’t like our music, screw you, and find your own. 

If you do, though… follow along as we launch! Pre-backers get early access to EPs (yes, actual records…we’re old) with our playlists, some of which have original music created just for the game, as well as other VIP stuff. You know the drill.

Golem Bestiary contains 10 new monster statblocks ready for use in Pathfinder 1e and complete with expansive descriptions and lore.

The bestiary also contains rules for a new material (djezeteel) and a new artifact (Time Key).

While designed for PF 1e, it is easy to adapt for the second edition and other d20 TTRPG systems.

Zodiac Paths: Birth, Fate, and Heroic Identity

In Fifth Edition, backgrounds tell you where a character came from—but not why they move, fight, or survive the way they do. Zodiac Paths changes that. Drawing from the twelve animals of the Chinese Zodiac, this system ties your character’s birth to fate, spirit, and cosmic alignment, granting abilities, traits, and thematic bonuses that grow over time.

From the stealthy cunning of the Rat to the raw feral power of the Tiger, the regal authority of the Dragon to the enduring resilience of the Ox, every Zodiac Path offers:

• Level 1: A defining trait with 2–3 options reflecting your animal spirit

• Levels 5, 10, 15: Gradual, situational bonuses that enhance skills, movement, and combat

• Level 20: A capstone blessing that embodies the essence of your Zodiac

But fate is not only reflected in powers. Each animal also comes with thematic weapons and armor, mechanically balanced and ready to use in 5E. A Tiger-born hero wields the Claw Spear and Striped Hide, striking from the shadows with feral precision. A Rat-born rogue uses the Whipknife and Shadow Cloak, turning cunning and agility into tangible advantage. Each piece is fully playable, with clear, simple rules for advantage, reactions, or situational bonuses.

Zodiac Paths is designed for:

• GMs building mythic, wuxia, or zodiac-themed campaigns

• Players who want a character’s origin and spirit to matter mechanically

• Quick reference and plug-and-play gameplay, with tables for each animal, weapon, and armor set

Fate, spirit, and the year of your birth are no longer just flavor—they are a path to heroic action.

Discover your Zodiac. Embrace your path. Let destiny guide the hero within.
