New Players Wanted for Dungeons & Kittens: Starter Set Adventure

About the adventure

Every kingdom has its ruler and it could be said—honestly—that cats aren’t lucky. King Walter is enormous, bad-tempered, unfair, stupid, and bone idle, unless it comes to plotting and intrigue. He made it to the throne by cheating and trickery, and ever since has remained in power through the help of his faithful Royal Guard, who blindly follow his every order. And to ensure that he wants for nothing, he rules by fear. Taxes are excessive and cruel, the Royal Guard is all-powerful, and juice is swift and merciless. King Walter’s most unfair law is surely the Exile of Kittens. Under the false pretence of an initiation quest, the exile is in fact a punishment for families and a danger for every child who is sent far away. Following a calendar that only he understands, King Walter organizes a draw (which everyone knows is rigged) in order to pick the Kittens who will be cast out. This is followed by a sham celebration, during which a quest is assigned to those Kittens. After that—good riddance! The mission given to the Kittens is to return with treasure—amazing treasure—if they want to see their loved ones again and return to reside in the relative security of the kingdom. But the instructions given by King Walter are imprecise, incomplete, and misleading. You are one of those Kittens. Cast out from the only home you’ve ever known, you must brave the unknown, try to find the treasure, and earn your way home.
