Dark Lord’s Doom

This 28-page adventure features a squad of four soldiers – 2nd-level fighters or other combatants – engaged in an all-out war to defeat the evil Lord before it’s too late.

Another Dark Lord is on the rise, threatening to bring death and destruction to all who oppose him…and maybe a few who don’t.

Saethor, whose Dark Legion was hired to keep order in a time of famine, betrayed and massacred the council that hired him, and seized power.

With a name like “the Dark Legion,” could one really expect it to end any differently?

He assimilated the Red Fang orcs and defeated the elves of Amberwood. Now, his avaricious gaze turns on the Kingdom…

Will the Dark Lord’s Doom fall upon the party, or on the villain himself?

Till Death Do Us Part

Till Death Do Us Part is a 32-page adventure designed for three characters of 3rd level. It asks the party to escort a two VIPs across a treacherous route to deliver the bride to the altar in time for her wedding.

Ugh. Escort missions. All of the grind of being a merchant guard, with a high-maintenance and often reluctant upper-class fellow traveler making life on the road go rather less smoothly than one would like.

Will the principal arrive in one piece? Or will they run off with one of the other members of the entourage … or even a PC? Is this a romantic marriage made in heaven, or the beginning of lethal political intrigue? Politics makes strange bedfellows, and the current situation is no different.

Vampire Hunter Belladonna

Play through 36 fang-filled pages as the lethal maid Belladonna, or as your own vampire-slaying hero or wizard, hunting vampires and more. 

You are Belladonna, the young maid and cook at Castle Ironskull ­— who moonlights as a vampire slayer!

Years ago, the sinister Lord Adrik Blackbird turned your best friend into a vampire. For their own good, you staked them both! Their contagious legacy will plague the local countryside unless you hunt down their horrid spawn!

Uncover disturbing rumors of the rise of a new and terrifying master vampire, and the arcane relic they seek.

Can you find it first?

Dragon Hunt!

For 44 action-packed pages, the heroes track and fight some of the baddest monsters the OSR has to offer. Playing 9th-level characters, this solo is an opportunity to try out the upper tiers of the OSR scale…and you’re going to need all of your skill and luck to survive!

Baron Gwalathar’s armies marched off to war. Without its defenders, the dragons of the wild sensed weakness, ravaging the realm.

The young Baroness Tanith calls for heroes: It’s time for a dragon hunt!

Dragon Hunt is a programmed adventure for three high-level characters. It would take a truly mighty-thewed hero to tackle it alone!

Featuring an implied setting: the Barony of Gwlalthar. Explore many villages, castles, towns, and trek through the wilderness, looking for dragons.

So many dragons.
