Adventure Framework 52: A Creeping Tide
 |
Danger: Moderate.
Pages: 12 (exc cover & credits).
Map: Yes
"Saxford you say? Yea I know it. Small outpost on the far side o' Lake Argos. Sure you want to go there¸ stranger? Lot o' death in Saxford¸ I hear. Nay¸ not by beastmen nor barbarian… Saxfords' are taking their own lives. Why? Har! Might as well ask why the sun sets at dusk¸ eh? Wodon knows¸ wanderer. Wodon knows."
In this adventure¸ Saxford's outlanders (exposed to the Black Spire's subtle taint for years) engage in increasingly bizarre¸ hivemind like behaviour¸ as they unwittingly summon a tsunami that will claim the outpost¸ and everyone in it.
Every Adventure Framework is set in a generic medieval or ancient fantasy location¸ with enough meat to enable the GM to improvise details (with minimal prep) and adapt to player choices. System wise¸ these adventures use the Low Fantasy Gaming RPG (an old school/modern mix d20 based game; free PDF)¸ but are easily adapted to any d20 system.
Armed with a handful of Adventure Frameworks¸ you can sandbox like there's no tomorrow. Browse through your library of AF's¸ throw out a few hooks¸ and let the players bite where they may. Whatever direction they take¸ you'll be ready to handle it with aplomb. Hope you enjoy.
