One Bad Apple & Other Stories -- Shadow of the Weird Wizard

Shadow of the Weird Wizard | Campaign

About the adventure

This is the first adventure in an episodic campaign, where the PCs will journey their new lands and have fantastic adventures! Using a derivation of the Shadow of the Demon Lord system, Weird Wizard runs a little closer to traditional, non-grindhouse fantasy. Something has happened to the village blacksmith. Known as an agreeable, friendly man, eager to lend a hand to the good people of Two Forks, his sudden, violent outburst has left the community in chaos. Last night, with no provocation, he assaulted his neighbor, Ruprecht Allson, and he might have killed him had not the village’s two guards pulled him off and dragged him back to a shed, where he’s been held under lock and key. Since, he’s screamed and raged inside the shed, and it’s becoming clear the shed won’t hold him long.

How to prepare

Have a working mic, Discord account, and come to have fun! No experience needed!

What I provide

We'll probably use some sort of web-based VTT. Discord for voice and (optional) video. I do voices, use music where I can, and start with Rules as Written, which can lead into Rule of Cool.

Gameplay details

I'll send over a consent checklist before we meet. Lines and veils can be discussed. I'll do what we need to make sure everyone is comfortable!

How will character creation work

We'll do character creation during the first session/Session Zero. I'll try to prep things ahead of time to expedite it. We are only using the core Shadow of the Weird Wizard book and maybe Weird Ancestries.
