The Hell Black Coins
THE HELL BLACK COINS is a dark fantasy campaign outline suitable for any fantasy roleplaying system. Note¸ this is not a complete scenario¸ but a detailed back story and outline with 11 chapters ready for you to expand and populate. The world has gone mad. Gold¸ silver and copper coins are affected by a terrible magical curse which instantly turns them into unuseable Hell Black coins. Treasuries become useless¸ and kingdoms threaten to collapse. Through the chaos move strange red-robed priests and high above fly bat-winged orcs¸ sowing discord and spreading the curse. Can the adventurers identify the powerful extra-planar entities behind this outbreak and restore the world to order? This campaign outline presents 11 chapters and 4 side quests¸ describing a complete epic story. Each chapter is 1 to 2 pages¸ giving the Gamemaster sufficient back story and locations to expand to a full scenario. No game statistics are provided¸ instead Gamemasters are encouraged to use monsters and magic appropriate to the system used for play. Each chapter is illustrated with a depiction of the Hell Black Coins. Author Geoff Gillan is the mastermind behind the legendary campaign Horror on the Orient Express¸ as well as numerous other scenarios for Call of Cthulhu¸ Stormbringer and Convicts & Cthulhu. Here he unleashes a new and complete vision for a dark fantasy campaign of cursed coinage and dark entities.
