Welcome to $1 Adventure Frameworks!
$1AF makes sweet mini adventures - or more accurately what I like to call "Adventure Frameworks" - stand alone, drop in adventure 'skeletons', made to facilitate sandbox style play - for $1.
Each adventure framework is set in a generic medieval or ancient fantasy location, with enough meat to enable the GM to improvise details and adapt to player choices.
System wise, these adventures use the Low Fantasy Gaming RPG (an old school/modern mix d20 based game; free PDF - Link), but are easily adapted to any d20 system.
So what do you get for your dollar?
Adventure Framework 9 Red Hooks Tourney consists of:
- A downloadable, bookmarked PDF (11 A4 pages, excluding cover & credits, in both parchment and white backgrounds).
- The Core Adventure (in this instance, competing in the infamous "Red Hooks Tourney", braving a house rigged with deathtraps and other contenders to find the silver wolf amulet and emerge victorious), that will occupy 3-8 hours of session time with Minimal Prep.
- Rumours & Hooks suggestions.
- Quality B&W Illustrations.
- A professional hand drawn Map.
But don't take my word for it - google 18 Halls of the Dwarf Lord and 16 Delecarte's Carnival of Wonders to download two free examples.
Now, there's a few things AF's don't come with:
- Boxed Text: Every time a GM reads boxed text, an ad-lib fairy dies, and I've got too much blood on my hands already. Paraphrasing and natural speech from the GM keeps players guessing what's pre-planned, and what's off-the-cuff-I-totally-planned-that awesome. And we wants that awesome, precious. We wants it.
- Colour Art: AF's are currently produced using old school B&W line art. Maybe one day I'll move on to colour pics. Maybe.
- No Grid: Maps, where provided, don't have grid lines. It's easier to add a grid than to take one away. If you prefer a grid or hex, you'll need to add it via Roll20, GIMP v2.8, etc.
- US English. I'm in Sydney Australia, so my work is in UK English.
Armed with a handful of Adventure Frameworks, you can sandbox like there's no tomorrow. Browse through your library of AF's, throw out a few hooks, and let the players bite where they may. Whatever direction they take, you'll be ready to handle it with aplomb.
Hope you enjoy.
Note: This AF is included the Midlands Low Magic Sandbox Setting book/PDF.
