Why Should You Care?
What makes this adventure different? Or noteworthy? Well¸ in no particular order:
- The entire Adventure (Adventure Book plus Dramatis Personae and Bestiary) is over 1¸000 pages long. So that's kind of interesting.
- Part One of a 4-part Adventure Path.
- Fully-realized¸ detailed adventure setting¸ complete with fleshed-out NPCs¸ motivations¸ plots¸ side-plots¸ and tons of full-color maps.
- NPCs who "feel real": The author has been a novelist and storyteller for more than 20 years. The backstory and secret motivations of any of the 59 multi-page-detailed NPCs could be its own adventure or adventure path.
- A standalone adventure that can be played on its own¸ completely out of context of the larger Adventure Path.
- Tools to make the adventure dynamic¸ and play differently every run-through. (For those who have played Ravenloft¸ think of the Tarot-like game the GM played in secret to randomize item locations and motivations¸ but expand it to many other aspects of the adventure path as well).
- Dozens of additional books are planned in the mythos and campaign setting in which Berinncorte sits. 10 additional Adventure Paths are already outlined.
