Tales of Adventure

An enormous monstrous spider assault three adventurers, driving a taloned leg through the body of an armored warrior, forcing another warrior back as the spider explodes in flame, and burning another adventure down to the bone.

Running a CORE20 campaign? Got a party of heroes all dressed up with nowhere to go? Then check out the first of an eventual bunch of free starter adventures for the CORE20 playtest:

Have a look in the “CORE20 Starter Adventures” folder and grab Sapirio’s Secret, a tier 1 adventure entirely suitable for brand-new starting characters. The CORE20 version of Sapirio’s Secret is an adaptation of a 5e version written by Scott a few years ago, and dishes up a nice one- or two-session mix of roleplaying, humor, investigation, and combat against a group of most unusual magic-users.

More starter adventures are on their way, starting with a CORE20 adaptation of Zengran’s Game, a one-shot written by Scott as part of Fantastic Lairs.

Enjoy!
