Madness Is In the Stars Tonight!

A strange sickness afflicts the frontier settlement of Holver's Ferry, threatening to overwhelm its citizens with an alien madness. Already the town has nearly torn itself apart, and the local sheriff is missing. When the PCs brave the surrounding wilderness as the village's latest newcomers, the beleaguered townsfolk desperately turn to them for assistance. But can these erstwhile heroes trace the diseased carrier to its source and solve the mystery before they, too, succumb to The Assimilation Strain?

The Assimilation Strain is an introductory adventure for Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster which can be played as a standalone adventure for 1st-level characters or as a prelude to the Legendary Planet Adventure Path, introducing heroes from any fantasy world to the cosmic threat of alien invaders from beyond who see nothing on this planet but another world to conquer. The adventure blends exploration and negotiation alongside elements of horror and a desperate battle to survive against a foe bent on their enslavement or extermination. The interplanetary adventure continues with the sequel adventure, To Worlds Unknown, launching your heroes into a fantastic universe of exotic pulp adventure! The sword and planet genre comes to life on Legendary Planet!

The ship bounces you and the crew around as the storm rages on. An enormous, violent storm that no one would venture near on a typical day. But this is not a typical day. Within that storm, secrets will be uncovered.

Once every 1,000 years a massive storm develops wreaking havoc on the coastal settlements on both the East and West edges of the Great Sea. Minstrels tell stories and sing ballads about these storms and the origin of chaos; an island bathed in gold. This island, nestled in the eye of the storm, is only present in this realm during the raging storm. Once it subsides, the island is again lost to the unknown for another millennium.

The captain of this ship has brought you along to help gather as many of the treasures that the island holds. In turn, he will get you and the crew home safe before the storm swallows the island again.

The Sunday Matinee Crawls line of adventures are compatible with the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game. This sandbox style adventure is designed for four to six adventurers that are levels three or four.

In this half baked adventure your crash of Kobolds must cross THE ISLE OF BREAD and search for THE ROOMB OF HORRORS to face the EVIL LICH ASPARAGUS. The Lich has raised a horror unto Kobold kind that must be stopped at all costs! The yeast of the costs being defined in this case, as most likely, all of your lives. This Kobold’s Ate My Baby! adventure will test your Kobold to the very minimum.

All Hail King Torg!

Hire a MARAUDER

Caused “existential feedback” during orientation. Building now screams gently at night.

Enjoy a subtle dread, uncomfortable laughter, and the slow realization that HR may have just hired something it absolutely shouldn’t have… and can’t fire?

This is a darkly comedic, in-universe interview that explores what happens when the worst possible candidates… actually show up on time.

Perfect for:

• Dark humor breaks that still feel like horror
• In-universe documents that shouldn’t exist
• Introducing antagonists with personality and presence

Uraltes Böses erwacht, als der Dunkle Herrscher seine Hand ausstreckt. Im Lauf dieser Abenteuer können die Helden die Spione und Pläne des Feindes zurückschlagen

In diesem Buch wird eine Region, die oft als verlassen beschrieben wird, zu einem Schmelztiegel für Abenteuer und bietet viele Stunden Spielspaß.

A Feast of Knights is a social adventure for Ars Magica 5th Edition. It includes everything that a storyguide needs to run the scenario in approximately four hours.

In the winter of 1228, the young Graf Simon von Sponheim is coming of age. His family has organised a joust to celebrate his dubbing as a knight. In recognition of their growing fame in the region, the mages have been invited by the organisers, some participants are seeking supernatural help to their (not always) mundane problems.

This is a sandbox party/festival which is laced with plot hooks to involve the Covenant in further adventures.
It is designed to fit in the Curse of the Rhine Gorge saga, described in the Rhine Tribunal book (Guardians of the Forest) but is easily tweaked to fit into any ongoing saga as a tournament for the party to take part in as knights and spectators.

Incorporating real events and historical personalities, it slots into a high-research saga.

This adventure was created without the use of generative AI; the art and illustrations were made by real people.

Daica is a town situated upon an island in the Bay of Roica. Over time it has fulfilled many roles, from a temple island to a place of pilgrimage, a military harbor, and later a trading town. Adventurers will always find work here, or a means to escape the burdens of the mainland, or the law, should that be their concern.

This community project follows the growth of Irium from a humble frontier outpost into what may one day become a great city. The map will advance in jumps of fifty years, with each new version showing how the settlement has changed, expanded, or struggled across time. Members on Discord can suggest what should happen during the next era, from new districts and landmarks to disasters, politics, trade, or strange local developments. Those ideas will then be brought to Patreon, where patrons can vote on which changes they would most like to see become part of Irium’s history. To keep its future uncertain, each new era is also shaped by a d20 roll, which determines how well the settlement fares over the next fifty years, from disaster and decline to prosperity and golden ages.

What is Firelance?

Firelance is a hard‑hitting, fast‑paced action OSR RPG full of motorbikes, dwarves, and firelances! Compatible with AD&D 1e/2e and other OSR systems. Set on an ancient interstellar ship called Planet Arck. Deep beneath the planet’s surface, adventurers must battle sadistic dark‑elf gangs and roving orc tribes to stay alive in this sci‑fantasy post‑apocalypse RPG.

Deep beneath the earth, on massive superhighways called Deepways, vicious biker gangs of orcs and dark elves roam the twisting tunnels of the Underways.

Civilisation has collapsed. The only safe places left are large dwarven mining towns, ruled by rigid companies that have formed into a strict bureaucratic hierarchy. Laws are enforced, and every dwarf has their place. Those who defy them are banished to the depths.

In Firelance, you play members of a biker gang drawn from different departments within a settlement’s company. Together, you are tasked with rebuilding civilisation, defeating threats, reconnecting settlements, and uncovering lost treasures.

The Setting

Beneath the muck and soil of forgotten lands, carved through ancient granite, lie the Deepways, super-highways running through the depths of the interstellar ship known as Planet Arck. For centuries, it has wandered through space on a long-forgotten mission. But those stories are of no concern for now. Instead, we focus on the dwarven architects and engineers tasked with connecting the continents and inner workings of the colossal ship, spending their lives digging through caverns of crystal and rivers of lava.

From various departments’ findings, the Deepways were once teeming with life. Millions of lifeforms traversed the superways like blood cells through a body’s arteries and veins. Then something catastrophic purged that life from the system. Some historians attribute it to a long war; others to a natural celestial event. Scholars continue to search for evidence, but no records reveal what wiped out so many lives. Archaeologists call this period the Great Unknowing—a time erased from history.

It is speculated that those who survived the Great Unknowing rebuilt civilisation in an image projected through a warped lens of new values and beliefs. Much of the dwarven history and knowledge was lost, including the names of deities, if they ever existed! Society was reconstructed from stories and legends passed down by word of mouth. Worship gave way to the teachings and tenets of the heads of the forming departments. These leaders now stand as great dwarven heroes, admired in place of gods.

The REALM OF NIGHT waits beyond a recently activated portal in the CHAMBER OF REALMS. It is a land of dreams, nightmares, chains, and spirits descending through its many layers. Spirits and Fiends roam the endless landscape beneath a permanently starlit sky. The REALM OF NIGHT weighs heavily on the lifeforce of any mortal traveler, slowly grinding away their resistance to becoming permanently trapped within it. There are many powerful Artifacts and fearsome Hazards imprisoned in the REALM OF NIGHT− wrapped in chains, trapped in sorcery, or banished with a curse. The final legendary sword, THE SCARCITY BLADE, is bound high in the realm. The party that frees it will gain a potent resource, but will also attract the attention of powerful and dangerous foes. The upper reaches of the REALM OF NIGHT are not suitable for a permanent portal back to the CHAMBER OF REALMS. The party will have to reach The Great Necropolis in order to return home. To do so, they will have to descend through a strange and shifting world of spirit gates, soul rivers, dreamscapes, and nightmares.

Are your adventurers prepared for a soul-chilling jaunt through the strangest realm yet?
