The Broken Expanse

Faith still walks through these lands, yet fewer return from them.

The Jagged Spine cuts through the center of the Broken Expanse as one of the few routes still usable by those desperate enough to cross it. Jagged stone, pale glare, narrow paths, and elevated ledges turn every stretch of ground into a place where movement can be seen, followed, and exploited. Travelers pass through because they must, not because the route offers any safety.

Across the Spine, the path forks into harsher territories. Tangled Stones choke with blight forced deep into fractures in the rock. Razor Pass offers faster passage at the cost of a single mistake. Last Watch still overlooks the crossing from above, and Bonepick Village survives at the edge of it all through control, violence, and knowledge of the routes no one else can hold.

The region’s featured battlemap focuses on one of these narrow stone passes, where blight growth, exposed movement, feeding flocks, and Bonepick ambushes can turn a crossing into a kill site within moments.

The Jagged Spine is the fourth release in The Broken Expanse, a location-focused mini-setting built around confined movement, exposed routes, and layered threat. This release explores one of the central crossings of the region, where the land itself forces travel into narrow corridors watched from above and claimed by those strong enough to survive there.

Rather than presenting a fixed adventure path, this release provides a fully developed region centered on dangerous passage, route control, aerial predation, and blight growth embedded deep within fractured stone. The featured battlemap focuses on a tight pass where ambush, vertical pressure, and shifting terrain can escalate quickly once movement stalls.

This material supports open exploration, repeat visits, and player-driven outcomes. The Jagged Spine is a crossing people keep using because other options are worse, and every group moving through it changes how the region responds.

The Broken Expanse is a collaborative content line created by Kelfecil’s Tales, D&Demetrius, and Heroic Maps, developed through coordinated writing, regional cartography, and battlemap design. Each release expands a shared region one location at a time, keeping the setting modular and table-ready.

The content is system-agnostic at its core, with optional guidance written for use with 5E. Skill checks, encounter structures, and original blight creatures are provided as tools rather than requirements, allowing Game Masters to adapt freely.

• Recommended Use: Chokepoint encounters, vertical threat zones, hostile crossings, and layered ambush play

Included in this product are:

• A full-view regional map of The Broken Expanse
• A partly-concealed (fog-of-war) version of the regional map of The Broken Expanse, with only the Jagged Spine clearly visible
• A regional map of the Jagged Spine, the focus location of the 4th release of the collaborative content line

Cave Encounters Volume IV (Levels 16–20)

Quick-Play 5e Adventures by Infinium Publications

Cave Encounters Volume IV is a plug-and-play encounter pack for 5th Edition fantasy role-playing, designed for Tier IV characters delving into upper cave systems where the world itself begins to break down under pressure. Ancient claims, territorial warbands, living environments, and apex threats reshape the subterranean landscape into something far more dangerous than simple darkness.

Built for characters at levels 16, 18, and 20, this volume presents 10 fully modular encounters that can be dropped into any high-level expedition without requiring a central plot or fixed narrative arc.

What’s Inside

• 10 modular encounters spanning Combat, Social, Skill, Trade, Puzzle, and Hazard play
• Scalable difficulty for levels 16, 18, and 20 using clear encounter matrices and structures
• Environment-driven design featuring living caverns, territorial factions, ancient claims, and predator-dominated ecosystems
• DM-facing guidance for pacing, escalation, spell interaction, and high-level play
• Designed for one-shots, dungeon crawls, ongoing campaigns, or deep-road expeditions

Encounters Included

Devouring Cavern (Combat) A cavern reveals itself as a colossal mimic, its walls and floor shifting as tendrils lash out from every surface. 

The Black Wing Migration (Combat) A massive migration event swarms a cavern with bats, as large predators prepare for their next meal.

The Forgotten Siege Engine (Combat) An ancient dwarven war machine activates as the party approaches. Ballistae fire from fortified positions while stone constructs deploy to defend the core.

The Exiled Legion (Combat) A disciplined duergar warband occupies a fortified cavern camp, controlling the terrain with formation tactics and elite soldiers. Breaking their line means confronting their Champion head-on.

Pilgrims of the Deep Road (Social / Combat) A desperate group of pilgrims presses deeper into the caves, carrying a sacred reliquary. Their devotion draws the attention of burrowing predators, forcing the party to decide whether to guide, protect, or abandon them.

The Forge Beneath the Mountain (Trade) A master Stone Giant artisan works a hidden forge, crafting weapons of exceptional quality. 

Claims of the Deep Roads (Puzzle) An ancient dwarven gate stands sealed by tradition. To pass, the party must interpret the lineage of those who once held claim.

The Lightless Passage (Skill) A corridor of absolute magical darkness twists into a disorienting maze. Without sight, the party must rely on instinct, coordination, and discipline to find their way through.

The Blood Mire Hollow (Hazard) A collapsed cavern forms a humid ecosystem filled with biting insects and lingering disease. The threat is subtle, persistent, and easily underestimated.

The Returning Patrol (Social / Combat) A  band of adventurers flees from something unseen in the dark. Moments later, the creatures that hunted them arrive—forcing quick decisions under pressure.

Fields of Auriel are ablaze is a short, cinematic prelude adventure for D&D 5e, set a few months before The Rite of the Rose. On a night choked with smoke and panic, raiders set the countryside of Auriel Gate ablaze and the characters are caught in the middle, fighting to save farmers, animals, and winter stores before everything turns to ash.

Why you’ll like it

• High-pressure, clear stakes: spreading fire, trapped civilians, hard choices.
• Instantly playable structure: scene-by-scene flow with strong pacing.
• Foreshadowing: starts hinting at future events and directly ties to the next one-shot adventure

What’s inside

• A complete 2-pages prelude scenario designed to be run on the fly.
• Environmental challenges and escalating hazards (fire, smoke, collapsing structures)
• Combat and objective-based moments you can tune to your party
• The Rose Pin reward (recognition from the Knights of the Rose)
• An epilogue hook that launches directly into The Rite of the Rose

Use it as: a prologue to start a campaign arc, a dramatic one-night session, or a “memory of the past” to give emotional weight to what comes next.

Carved by wind and centuries, the desert rock took the shape of a giant skull. Travelers say the cave watches them through hollow stone eyes. Those who enter often feel as if the desert itself is judging their fate...

Collision Course – A LV1 DarkSpace RPG Adventure

Out on the edge of known space, problems don’t arrive politely.

They come in fast.
They come in silent.
And sometimes… they don’t stop.

Harbor Nine sits at the very boundary of the Galactic Consortium—a rough, stubborn mining settlement clinging to survival at the edge of The Pale, a region where ships vanish and answers don’t come back .

When long-range sensors pick up something impossible—a two-kilometer generation ship thought lost for over two centuries—it’s already too late.

It’s not drifting.

It’s aimed.

And in eight hours, it will collide with Harbor Nine.

Collision Course is a survival-horror one-shot designed for:

• 3–5 Level 1 DarkSpace characters
• A tense 4-hour session built around escalating pressure
• A mix of exploration, roleplay, and high-stakes decision-making

Life in Imperial Russia was grueling and difficult, even more so if you were forced to live in the Pale of Settlement as a Jew.

The Missing Rabbi of Berezin is a one-shot scenario set in a Jewish village in what is now Belarus in the late 19^th century. These villages, known as shtetls, were under a constant threat of violence from both imperial authorities and their Christian neighbors. The scenario explores that fear, as well as the added terror of the Cthulhu Mythos when Berezin's Rabbi turns up missing on the last day of Hanukkah. The investigators must balance the task of finding the Rabbi with the pressure of keeping Russian authorities out of the shtetl.

The Missing Rabbi of Berezin is written for Call of Cthulhu 7th edition, meant to be easy to run for new and experienced groups alike!

Included with the scenario are six pre-generated Investigators, each of whom is connected with the shtetl of Berezin and the investigation, and two high quality full-color handouts!

Here at the Arcadian Society, we work hard to observe, document, and catalog the lesser-known flora and fauna of the natural world. From the lesser endemic life that poses little to no threat to mighty adventurers to plants and fungi with their unique properties, we are dedicated to providing you the most up-to-date and detailed information about their benefits (and potential pitfalls) while on your adventure!

This book introduces the Arcadian Society, a setting-neutral faction that can be dragged and dropped into any existing Level Up: Advanced Fifth Edition campaign as quest-givers or a group that nature-minded PCs may be interested in joining. It includes a general overview of the organization, as well as a handful of example quests that members of the Arcadian Society can give to a stalwart adventuring party. It also contains a host of Curious Creatures and Peculiar Plants—noncombatant encounter elements that can be plugged into journey activities, incorporated to create the sense of a living world, or to reward player curiosity and interaction.

Solve the mystery of the ghostly, enigmatic Flicker, or convince a placid Driftwyrd to ferry you across a lake; test your Nature knowledge in telling the difference between a Canteen Cactus and its far more dangerous cousin the Dartspine Cactus; befriend a Tea Wyrm, or try to catch a Dust Bunny as it passes by. Under every rock and beneath every leaf, you never know what you may find.
