BAM – AT-03 – VTT Pack.zip

Secret of the Shattered Temple,written for 4 third level characters, can be played alone (a set-up is provided to play as a stand-alone adventure for newly-arrived PCs) or as the third adventure in a series of adventures that make up the About Time campaign arc.
    The previous adventure ended with our heroes locating the hidden entrance to the ruined temple of Thanatos on the island of Aethelgard.
They were told by Lander, a Flying Cyanea with powerful magical abilities, about an artifact called the Mithral Sphere reported to be somewhere on the island. He said that they must find the artifact to prevent the future destruction of the world. Our heroes have searched the island and everything points to the artifact being in this ancient temple.

Also included:

➛ This is an old fashion dungeon crawl. The ancient temple consists of two levels, with a total of 39 numbered areas, with secret doors, traps and puzzles.
➛ There are tips for running a dungeon crawl.
➛ The entry for each area includes everything you need to run that encounter including: a separate map of just that area, how to handle any encounters, the full stat block for any monster and how it should act, and a simple list of all treasure that the PCs may have found.
➛ It has 18 monsters (3 of them new), all complete with full stat blocks and tokens.
➛ For each encountered monster, that monsters full stat block is included on the page with the encounter.
➛ There are three new magic items.
➛ It includes Puck, a companion for the group, a detailed and illustrated NPC with a full stat block and information to help the GM play the character, a tiny fey creature (sprite) with a playful nature.
+ Free VTT Pack with high quality Battle Maps and Tokens.

Quest for the Mithral Sphere is written for the rules light, D&D 5E compatible, RPG Bold Against Monsters (also called BAM). It requires either the use of the Bold Against Monsters Core Rule Book, or the D&D fifth edition Player’s Handbook, or the Tales of the Valiant Player’s Guide.

The first adventure was AT-01 An Ancient Evil – primarily an Urban Adventure.
The second adventure was AT-02 Quest for the Mithral Sphere – a Micro-Hex Crawl, where the characters explored an island.
This is the third adventure AT-03 Secret of the Shattered Temple – a Dungeon Crawl.
The next adventure will be AT-04 The Cogs of Lost Time – a “Theater of the Mind” adventure set in the Clockwork Realm – a plane devoted to ultimate order inhabited by sentient Cyberbots.

D&D for Kids

PlayWithKids

It’s no secret that pretty much every parent who plays any kind of tabletop game wants their kids to join in on the fun as well. Besides everyone using their imaginations to play, D&D helps to develop your kiddo’s cognitive skills such as reading, problem-solving, and creative thinking.

Wizards has released 2 kid friendly D&D adventures: Monster Slayers: The Heroes of Hesiod and Monster Slayers: The Champions of the Elementsboth by Susan J. Morris. Parents can use this simplified rule-set as a stepping stone to introduce new players, young and old, to the world of D&D. Once you’ve finished these quick adventures you can move on to bigger campaigns and hopefully have the time of your life introducing the little ones to a game that they could be playing for years to come.

You can find what Susan J. Morris has to say about it here and still more information (and a link to the original Monster Slayers adventure) here!

D&D 5E – Adventure Module – Fires of Hell

Fires of Hell - Cover

A free adventure module for fifth edition Dungeons and Dragons.

Download the free adventure here: Fires of Hell

This  adventure takes place after a Total Party Kill (TPK).  It allows a group of DEAD PCs to earn a second chance by fighting their way through the first layer of Hell to retrieve a stolen artifact. It is unlike other modules in that it is written to accommodate a party of any size and any level (1 to 20).

This is a complete re-write of the module I posted previously. I updated the entire module to work with D&D 5E rules. It also includes converted monsters that are not in the 5E Monster Manual – on new color reference sheets – Abishai Devils, Kaorti Devils, Nupperibo Devils, Cranium Rat Swarms, and Winged Fiend Swarms (a new monster of my own creation), and Charon (Boatman of the Lower Planes).                           

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed writing it. Please post any comments you may have. Let me know if you find any of this useful.

This  adventure (like the 3.5 version) takes place after a Total Party Kill (TPK).  I modified an old AD&D adventure (The Fires of Dis) to accommodate a group of DEAD PCs to earn a second chance by fighting their way through the first layer of Hell to retrieve a stolen artifact.
