Game Summary

This 64-page adventure setting is flexibly designed for use with a party of good PCs or alternatively a band of evil PCs of 1st or 2nd level. Ready-to-use character sheets for both parties will be included as web enhancements. It is part of a "world-building through adventures" series and is thick with extra features, such as tips for a new DM and how to encourage role-playing among players.

This product also contains information on:
  • The Ecology of the Halfling (personality quirks and tendencies)
  • Mundane Weapons (using common household and farming items such as brooms and pitchforks for combat)
  • The Concept of Reputation (another incentive besides experience points and money for PCs)
  • Incorporating Dreams Into Your Game (the use of foreshadowing and nightmares)
  • Special Abilities for PCs (superhero PCs?) as well as Weakness
  • Cavalier, Shaman, and Witch classes
  • New spells, feats, skill uses, monsters, and magic items.
  • How to Avoid Killing 1st Level PCs
  • How to Keep Role-Playing from Becoming "Roll-Playing"
  • 12 Signs of a Good DM

3 + 5NPC Jeremy. Do you like your halflings chubby and rustic instead of edgy and vagabond? Do you like extremely detailed fantasy villages? If so, this product is for you...
4 + 5Joe Medica. This module is amazing! It has something for everyone: GMs will love the detail and the options that it gives them. Players will love the detail as well when the NPCs come alive from the page.
