Your party plunges into the gloomy depths of this forest near the eastern border of Tethyr. A mother’s tears drive you on — you agreed to look for her son who went poaching in a preserve that belongs to the local noble family and he hasn’t returned. You noticed a pair of odd wooden totems among the trees, but that’s in the back of your mind now. The lad might be dead, but he might also be alive and in any of a number of different kinds of trouble. 

Then it hits you — you’ve completely lost your bearings. The forest blots out the sun and there are no landmarks, just trees and more trees. Are you facing north, south, east, west? You don’t know. Forget the boy; at this point could you even save yourself by leaving the forest the way you came? And is that a bear you hear? According to the random encounters table, that’s possible….

A Forest Maze in Tethyr is the ninth Forgotten Realms module in Places by the Way is a series of short modules created by veteran RPG writer and developer Douglas Sun for use with Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition. Think of them as glittering mosaic tiles that you can drop into a campaign to provide your player characters with diverting side quests and memorable interludes while they follow the overall story arc. After all, a great campaign world is one in which memorable experiences can be had even in places found by the way.

This is a collection of in-depth NPCs that can easily be fit into any campaign;They are fully developed and can add another layer of depth to your fantasy world. Unfortunately it’s all too common that the NPCs that are supposed to be the backbone of a TTRPG, can easily begin to blend together; Players start treating them as Innkeeper #10 and generic blacksmith #3. That is what I started to experience and is why I made this codex that has 49 NPCs with unique and varied backgrounds and mannerisms attached to them. Each one has a backstory or plot that can be followed up for fun and interesting side quests. These were created using my NPC personality archetype template, which you can find on my page. If you like this or have any questions or criticism, please leave a comment! All feedback is deeply appreciated!

DM: You find a treasure map.

Players: We go to the red X on the map.

DM: OK… that was too easy.

Maps can be great handouts for in-game clues.  But, marking the location of treasure or secret stuff makes it too easy. And, not marking those locations means that the players need to figure out something that seems undefined.

The locator wheel prop is a fun way to add drama and challenge to the process of revealing a specific location on a map (or other artwork).  The map fits into the bottom of the device.  The large and small dials cover up most of the map, leaving a smaller and smaller focused area.  The eyepiece further narrows it down to a small peephole showing one location.  Players need to find clues as to how each dial should be set to solve the quest. 

Details

• Locator wheels tray base holds a map or other artwork that does not have a solution location marked.  Players must turn the dials to numbers found in clues to reveal the secret location.
• Reinforced cardstock construction allows players to grip and twist.
• Dials snap into distinct positions when turned, like high-end stereo knobs.
• Peering through the eyepiece gives a feeling of seeing something secret.
• Includes art for stone, wood, or gears motifs, plus blank templates for you to edit.
• Includes four examples of usage scenarios: map, crowd, gems, and gate.

Game Night Advantages

• Add drama to plot points that require players to discover the location of something on a map.
• Give a sense of discovery as players figure out how to use a mysterious device at the table.
• Keep player’s hands and minds on the game with a tangible prop that feels good in their hands.
• Create a sense of secrecy by having one player at a time peer through the eyepiece.

Films of High Adventure: Ray Harryhausen and the Look of Fantasy

by Brett Brooks

Here at Goodman Games, we have long honored the role of Appendix N and its influence on not just Dungeons and Dragons, but fantasy role-playing as a whole—including Dungeon Crawl Classics. We also feel that there are others who played a role that deserve the same recognition as those that Mr. Gygax listed in the Dungeon Master’s Guide, and they can come from many different media.

June 29th celebrates what would have been Ray Harryhausen’s 100th birthday. As one of the most celebrated special effects wizards in the history of cinema, his impact on filmmaking goes beyond reproach. Many of the most talented directors of the last fifty years directly cite him as a profound influence, including Peter Jackson, Guillermo del Toro, James Cameron, Edgar Wright, and Steven Spielberg. But what about role-playing games? How did he affect those? We’ll discuss that in a moment, but first, some background.

Ray Harryhausen’s career began under the tutelage of another master of cinematic effects, Willis O’Brien. O’Brien is best known as the special effects creator on the original King Kong film, which inspired Harryhausen while he was in high school. He arranged a meeting with O’Brien, took some sculptures of his dinosaurs, and O’Brien kept Harryhausen on his radar from there out. During that same time, Harryhausen became close friends with another creator who would rise to prominence, a writer by the name of Ray Bradbury. During WWII, he served under an aspiring film maker named George Pal, who then introduced him to another director working for the military, Frank Capra. Capra recruited him for the SCPC, the Special Service division, helping him make films for the US Government throughout the war. On some of those films—most notably one entitled Snafu—he worked with another up-and-coming talent named Theodore Giesel (better known as Dr. Seuss). After the war, Harryhausen and O’Brien first worked together on the Academy Award winning Mighty Joe Young. And the rest, as they say, is history.

And if his story ended there, it would certainly be enough—but of course, it doesn’t. The visuals and dynamics created by Harryhausen weighed heavily on the minds of others, which evidence indicates included the imaginations of Gary Gygax and the other people responsible for the creation of Dungeons and Dragons.

The Plot

Ready for the challenge?

Old Dwarf´s Mine is ideal for a group of 3 to 4 players and can be fitted as a side quest of your main adventure. It is focused on novice and low-level players, or even to be used in tournaments. The purpose of these supplements is to help the game master to have hooks or even a quick adventure for his players. This small supplement can be used in games like AD&D 5th edition and SRD 5.1.  Have Fun!

This package of five unique puzzles can be incorporated directly into any pulp adventure RPG game or campaign that you are planning.  We include a brief possible back story for each puzzle (as described below) however the puzzles themselves are not locked into them.  Once you know the answers to the puzzles, you can be flexible in how you use them. Additionally, each puzzle has more than one clue to offer the players. Feel free to get creative on how you will provide those clues to the players (i.e. make they earn the pieces one at a time, provide the collection of what they need at the end of a minor quest, etc.) Because each puzzle has more than one clue to be used in order to solve the puzzles themselves, they lend themselves perfectly to perception/intution/ and other character skill attributes.  The higher the roll, the more clues you offer them.

Our Pulp Adventure RPG Campaign Puzzles Collection comes with five separate puzzles: One requiring logic, one requiring decoding, one using a map, one discerning the order of operation and a final one involving overlaying clue sheets of paper.

The five puzzles include:

Paleo Decoding:   This puzzle involves using a double transposition decoding to decipher a secret message.  A double transposition code involves translating a message into another encoded message, then taking that message and decoding it into another.  We’ve provided two specific messages based on our included possible back story.

Possible Paleo Decoding Possible back story:  Dr. Raymond Maxwell is a well known paleontologist, though a bit of a mystery in his personal life.  He’s trusted by others in his field, but no one quite understands his quirky behavior and observed disinterest in building friendships of any type.  Although friendly, few would say they were his friend.  It took even his closest acquaintances nearly a week to realize that he was missing…indeed, presumably kidnapped.  The big mystery, though, was WHY?  The only evidence the investigators had to go on was the fact that his research office was in shambles, apparently ransacked.  It was unlikely that it was due to a struggle, more likely someone was after something that Dr. Maxwell had…and when they couldn’t find it, they took Maxwell himself.  What his colleagues weren’t aware of was Dr. Maxwell had potentially located a migratory path for ancient dinosaurs.  Along this path one

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and that is certainly as true in the tabletop gaming business as it is anywhere else. One of the necessary reasons for writing adventures for the various game-lines that I work on is the need to have something to run when I am a guest at various conventions. For example, I originally wrote the Expanse adventure Salvage Op (now on-sale) as a demo adventure to run at conventions before the game was even released. I likewise wrote the Blue Rose adventure Flight of the Snow Pearl (on-sale this week) in order to have something to run at a convention. I honestly don’t recall if it was originally OrcaCon, GaymerX, or one of the big summer conventions where I ran it first, but I’ve used it as a demo adventure at a number of conventions over the past couple of years since I wrote it.

Without giving away too much about the actual plot of the adventure, Flight of the Snow Pearl is about what poet T.S. Eliot called “a wilderness of mirrors” which has become common parlance for talking about spying and espionage. In a situation or subculture where trust is a dangerous luxury, how do people maintain trust as an essential value? It’s a fairly short, focused, adventure but deals with some essential themes from Blue Rose, including characters helping those in need.

Flight of the Snow Pearl also demonstrated to me the way a fairly simple plot can play out in so many different ways at the table. I’ve lost count of the number of times that I have run the scenario at conventions, and it plays-out differently almost every time, with players focusing on different aspects of the plot and characters, and with certain rolls of the dice sending things off in different directions, even in cases where I’ve provided the same pre-generated characters to play. I love how such variability and variety are a part of tabletop RPGs.

So, if you’re looking for an adventure for your ongoing Blue Rose game, or have always thought of giving running the game a try—especially if you might want to run Blue Rose for a virtual convention or online event this summer—check out Flight of the Snow Pearl and give its story a go.
