Dragonbane | Castle of the Robber Knight
Dragonbane | One-Shot
About the adventure
Long ago, a brutal robber knight once ravaged the land. Many a hero sought to defeat the robber knight, but it was a horde of orcs who finally succeeded. Once defeated, the orcs beheaded him and set his castle aflame. The robber knight’s reign of terror was over. Now, many years later, the sounds of battle have faded but the ruins of the robber knight’s castle still stand. What lies within those ruins? — Dragonbane is a classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying game full of magic, mystery, and adventure. Designed from the ground up to facilitate fast and furious play, with very little prep time and adventures that are a breeze to run. This is a game with room for laughs at the table, while still offering brutal challenges for the adventurers. This play-style is called “mirth and mayhem roleplaying” – great for long campaigns and perfect for a one-shot.
This is a charity one shot meant to introduce new players to Dragonbane. These are "Learn to Play" games, so it will be open to all levels of experience with the game and RPGs in general. The pace of the game might be slower initially, to give everyone a chance to get comfortable with the game. We will be playing the scenario based upon published material. Pre-gen characters will be available so we can get to play quickly. We'll talk safety tools prior to the session.

What I provide
We'll be using Alchemy as our VTT, with the Dragonbane Enhanced Core book enabled. Alchemy will also be our voice/video support (with discord and zoom on backup). This will be a narrative first game. We'll tell a compelling story and allow the rules of the game to help us get there. We'll talk about mechanics and figure out whether they make sense for the stories we're going to tell. I have extensive experience running the system and a love of all things Fallout. My hope is to tell stories that fit within the canon of the game's setting without being confined by them.
Gameplay details
Before our scheduled session, where we'll discuss safety tools how we'll establish lines and veils. An X card will be used during the sessions. Open door policy means that you are free to step away and leave at any time, if anything doesn't feel right.
