An earthquake has woken up a forgotten evil!

Traveler, hear the word in town!

An earthquake two weeks ago scared the common folk and close-by townsfolk. But the scare was soon forgotten because there was no damage or worrying signs. What no one new is that an ancient ruin under the town had its walls shaken to the core and an old arcane prison is now compromised. The bodily remains and the immortal spirits of two evil twin wizards from a forgotten age were trapped there. Now, the two spirits are free to roam the land. They take tu...

353 Death in the Well (Photoshop)

Here's the .psd file for 353 Death in the Well. Notice that it is necessary to have Photoshop to use it. Inside you will find that it is all white. That is the uppermost layer, I only use it to make the file preview smaller in size. Once you remove that uppermost layer you'll see the illustration. (it's just one click)

Most of the illustration elements are properly named and arranged in folders in the layer area. Some assets like textures or smart objects have been rast...

Is killing rats any different if they can talk?

Traveler,

This is a rehash of the cliché low-level adventure where the group of adventurers must go down to a basement, sewers, or another underground location and do pest control because rats have grown too big or too aggressive.

Is it any different to do pest control when the rats can talk and understand what you're saying. You bet it's not gonna be the same. In this story, a strange introvert with the uncanny ability to understand rodents feeds them a magical concoction to mak...

Oops you just woke up the giant!

When returning to a large city, a group of adventurers comes across a damaged tower that sustains structural damage as if it had been hit by a trebuchet. The first and second levels of the tower have a large opening on the north side. A strange gnome with colorful clothes comes into view as he looks at the adventurers from the hole in the tower. He starts shouting that he is a merchant and offers ...

Curse of the Two Spirits - Adventure Module

This is a tier 2 (level 5-6) adventure about a mysterious wealthy woman who hires adventurers to kill some "failed experiment subjects" in her manor's secret basement. She has sent many solo mercenaries before but none have succeeded. Strangest of all is the tale of a strange explosion in the house three months ago. And the reports of screams and wails at night that come from the house. Rumor has it that the house is haunted now but no one can explain what is really going on....

We wrote an adventure for this map, quite a large document actually. But this adventure was published at the DMs Guild earlier today. As usual, we cannot include such products attached here because of the community license agree...

Do not fall for the luring song of harpies!

Traveler!

A total of 10 people have gone missing near the Windy Mountains. The local authorities are dead in the water trying to solve this situation. The major just received notification from the crown to spend the village funds to hire passing adventurers to fix the issue.

There's word in the streets that a magical song enraptures people and makes them do strange things. But the main effect of the song is that it attracts people to an old ruin on the skirts of the mountainside.<...

A mass that shall never end!

Traveler!

Abbot Mihen, an honest and decent man made a terrible mistake. He let himself get carried away with promises of power and influence from a magical tome. The tome played the part of a sacred text that communicated with the abbot and offered insight and knowledge from beyond the veil. The abbot could not avoid falling for the fine calligraphy's charm and, over time, became a slave to the book. It promised the abbot a way to attract the masses and perform a mass that would last f...

The royal crypt is full of treasures!

Traveler!

The ruins of Dragonia have been out there for decades since the orc clans brought the city down almost a century ago. The kingdom never quite recovered, it all eventually became a new kingdom once the balance of power tilted to the other side. And Dragonia is now surrounded by taboo and superstitions, nobody dares get close.

But a daring explorer knows that there could be something of value under the ruined keep. A place of valuable wonders that the orcs would never find...

A fancy inn to stay the night!

Traveler!

You approach this corner at an opportune time! This is the Squirming Medusa, a cool fashionable inn/tavern owned by two brothers, Garjeen and Curjee. This is a great place to start an adventure or be a standstill in the middle of a tumultuous adventure. People from all around town visit the tavern from time to time to have a pint of 'medusae blood' the flagship drink. It is a kind of hot spiced wine but the recipe is secret.

But not all is fine and well in the Squirming ...

Who's gonna help the ex-criminal innkeeper?

Hey Traveler, I have a strange story!

Romelu used to be an underworld criminal and sometimes hitman back in his younger days. A life of crime left him a sizable small fortune. Enough for a man to retire and live the rest of his life in peace. Romelu bought a property, opened an inn, and said goodbye to his days of wrongdoing. But like many in the business of the illicit say, every time he tries to get out, they pull him back in.

Romelu has tried to forget old grudges and pending d...
