Order of Succession - Pathfinder 2E Compatible Adventure (*.PDF)
Updated Version in preparation for Pathfinder Remaster 2023
This adventure is about heirs, betrayal, prophecy, and murder, which in essence are the drivers of history. Unlike most adventures, the story is grimy, visceral, and reveals the impact of jealousy. The elements that underpin the plot distort and twist around hatred, greed, and power. As a one-shot with simple themes unbound to any specific setting, this adventure helps you recruit inexperienced players to your table or experienced players to try something different from the standard adventure blueprint.
“You must come to Castle Vezio for the Yule season. We have a special present your father told me to pass on to you. Your uncle, Lord Uri of Lake Unterfallen.”
You knew the trip to Castle Vezio would take a few weeks, and the story about your father and your relationship with him has never been a topic of your conversations. You wonder though, what gift did he set aside for you? Why now does your noble uncle reach out from his small wintery kingdom in the northern mountain lakes tucked away from the world?
This latest version includes new stat bocks for all characters and enemies, anchored around a party of 4 player characters at level 5.
This 35+ page PDF booklet is in 5 - 1/2” x 8 -1/2” trade paperback format to enable reading on smartphones, electronic devices, and as a homage to Marc Miller’s Traveller.
Inside you’ll find story, character, conflict along with detailed information about how to handle encounters, how enemies think, act, and decide their next action. I’ll create non-player characters for you that are memorable with their own personality and in some cases, deceitful agendas. I include tips on how to handle all sorts of common player behavior and psychology at the table to ensure everyone has fun.
The adventure’s design allows the player(s) to dictate the play style the session takes while also serving as an accessible one-shot easily integrated into your campaign. In addition to this, the adventure taps into common ideas that even a first-time player can understand with no prior gaming knowledge (Christmas, cold winters, abductions, family, mystery, murder, and unquestionable evil with a big reputation) which will prompt them to action without understanding the intricacies of the rules of Paizo’s Pathfinder® Second Edition.
