Westlands: Goblin Caves

Posted on April 15, 2024 by TWMB

2 page full color pamphlet module.

Goblin Caves is the first Westlands Pamphlet Module. It’s formatted like a double sided tri-fold brochure and contains all the information you need to play an excellent one-shot.

A fully playable, ready-to-run one shot to drop in to any Westlands or Sword of Cepheus RPG campaign
Printable color version of the file.

This adventure is designed for 3 to 5 Westlands characters.

In Westlands, we’ve taken the core open-license 2D6 fantasy reference material and are adding extra content, including reworked (more dangerous!) sorcery mechanics, optional rules for simple firearms, and an expanded bestiary.

The name Westlands is a nod to the West Marches RPG campaign style, which is a much more free-form, adventure-seeking campaign where the players decide their motivations and goals, rather than being directed via the game master.

Westlands is setting-neutral, and lets you create whatever adventure you imagine. It is built on the open-license reference material for Sword of Cepheus, which is a 2D6 fantasy RPG that is rooted in earlier 2D6 science-fiction RPGs.

Kunos: Torrents of Gyre

Posted on April 14, 2024 by TWMB

TORRENTS OF GYRE

We’re pleased to bring you “Torrents of Gyre,” for Savage Worlds. A half-dozen dead sorcerous adepts have been found on the city streets between sundown and sunrise. All were drained of their blood and bodily fluids.

There have been no witnesses or suspects, but Gyre is abuzz with rumors of feasting vampires and ghouls.

Gyre’s ruler, the Ulagon, has offered a bounty to the individual who proves they have destroyed this “vampire” and ended the carnage. The Ulagon also insists on a personal audience with anyone heroic enough to stop the menace.

WESTLANDS: THE GOD WHEEL

Posted on February 17, 2024 by TWMB

Welcome to The God Wheel, a Menagerie Press Westlands adventure location. Local legends tell of a gigantic wheel half-lodged in the ground. While exploring, the adventurers discover that the old tales are true and that the God Wheel exists. Adventure locations differ from a traditional dungeon crawl in a few ways. They’re meant to be more narrative, more open-ended. Locations work best when the Referee shows the players the handouts, and the group decides where and how to explore. Also, these locations are intended to be flexible and easily placed in an ongoing campaign, serving as a long-form random encounter or content to flesh out exploration during travel. This adventure is designed for 3 to 5 Westlands characters.
