Dark Dwelling on the Prairie 

On the trail of the lowdown Sagebrush gang, you and your posse are running out of food, water and ammo. On top of that  a deadly lightning storm is brewing. Maybe Lady Luck is watching because you spot a large farmhouse in the failing light, or just maybe it’s Lady Calamity. A 2rd level adventure for Weird Frontiers. 

The Backerkit campaign was a success!

GNOLLEDGE IS POWER!

From Out of Gnollwhere 2: Gnolledge is Power is the second of a three-part adventure arc exploring the rise of a mysterious and well-organized gnoll cult within the ancient wood of the Auld, and their quest to welcome their Dark God Ar’Traxxis into the realm thereby triggering an apocalypse. It is designed for 4-6 Level 3 characters. In Book 2, the PCs are summoned into the Auld by the Wood Warden child who’d placed a Geas upon them in Book 1; the elven guard who’d taken custody of her at the first volume’s close has been slaughtered and the child captured by a group of gnoll cultists. The Auld has been thrown into the chaos of war among the Ar’Traxxis Cult, the native wood elves, and a savage new contingent of feral elves aligned only to their own violent urges.
