Crime Districts of Irongate
Crime Districts of Irongate is a dungeon crawl in the form of a city district. During the dungeon crawl¸ PCs clear out the criminal gangs of the city and reclaim their ancestral forge-villa¸ which has fallen into the hands of the Iron Runners gang¸ using it as their headquarters.
The Crime Districts of Irongate is an open-world-style dungeon. There is no story to follow¸ PCs simply have their goals¸ and the adventure follows. That means PCs can't fall off the road¸ as there is no predetermined way to solve the dungeon.
The player interactions with the dungeon will vary uniquely at each table. Players can opt for full-on violence or take a more diplomatic approach by trying to make friends with the district's inhabitants. Or go totally different route¸ and using Domain rules¸ build their own domain in Crime Districts.
In addition to the core dungeon crawl¸ the book also includes:
- Hidden mini-adventure: "The Headhunter"
- Poison rules for SAKE and common poisons in the Asteanic World
- New Kali equipment
- New narcotic drug - Seadust and a new madness - Ocean's Call
- New Monsters: Orenic Unicorn¸ Orenic Giant Ants¸ and Kali Warbird
The adventure can be considered complete when the Iron Runners are ousted from forge-villa¸ but total completion requires the elimination of all criminal gangs in the districts. Only after that¸ the Crime Districts cease to be a dungeon¸ and players can traverse them without rolling for Hazards.
The adventure is meant to take place in the SAKE homeworld - the Asteanic World. However¸ feel free to adapt and integrate it into any other fantasy world of your choice.
