GM's Miscellany: Mini-Eventures II (P1)
 |
A GM's Resource supplement by Creighton Broadhurst
Even the smallest town has more locations than all but the most diligent and time-rich GM could ever hope to detail and design. To make matters even worse¸ when an adventuring party gets to a town or city¸ the characters often have the irritating habit of going off exploring. What's a GM to do? Designed specifically for you¸ the busy GM¸ the mini-eventures herein help you bring depth and flavour to your characters' next urban adventure. This compilation is designed for use with City Backdrop: Languard¸ but can be easily used in virtually any town or city.

What's a Mini-Eventure?
A mini-eventure is like a normal eventure but smaller! An eventure is akin to a normal adventure¸ but does not (normally) feature violence or physical challenges. Instead¸ an eventure focuses on the use of social skills and role-play to resolve the challenges¸ or events¸ therein. Most eventures take places in a settlement or on the road. Few occur in traditional adventure locales such as dungeons¸ ruined castles and so on.
Eventures are an excellent change of pace and can be used as ?ller between adventures or as situations in which characters who have invested in social skills can shine. They are also perfect for players who enjoy role-playing.
The mini-eventures in this book are all set in Languard¸ capital of Ashlar but¸ with minimal work¸ they could be set in virtually any town or city.
Dual Format PDF This product is a Dual Format PDF. The downloadable ZIP file contains two versions¸ one optimised for printing and use on a normal computer and one optimised for use on a mobile device such as an iPad. A Note About Print Options
This is a black and white book¸ although the available print options only list colour editions. This is because the paper available for colour printing is thicker and of a higher quality than that used for black and white books. Better paper is more durable and takes scribbles and highlighting better than thin paper. Thus¸ to make the book more durable and useful¸ we went with the better paper.
