Blackwater Redux | An Eberron Campaign
A Mad Journey on the Blackwater River Drugs dull the damages of the Last War; gold fuels the fires which might ignite the next. A band of ragtag mercenaries must venture into the putrid swamps of the Shadow Marches to topple the drug lords of Droaam. To achieve their goals¸ they may have to leave something of themselves behind; in the heart of darkness Blackwater Redux is an Eberron adventure designed for a group of five characters starting on 1st level. It brings the group to the backwater of Khorvaire¸ aptly named the Shadow Marches. By the end of the adventure¸ the characters should reach 5th level or higher. To run this adventure¸ you need the fifth edition Player's Handbook ¸ Dungeon Master's Guide ¸ Monster Manual ¸ and Eberron: Rising from the Last War (RFTLW). Blackwater Redux is a dark¸ hopeless adventure with strong horror notes. It is inspired by Apocalypse Now by John Milius and Francis Ford Coppola¸ The Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad¸ and The Call of Cthulhu by H. P. Lovecraft. Consuming these before running the adventure is highly recommended. The adventure's themes loosely touch on current and past real-world conflicts. If one or more of the players are former or active soldiers¸ make sure to discuss the campaign's content beforehand.
