About the adventure
Think: Terry Pratchett or Douglas Adams Meets "The Dirty Dozen". The Bad Beings want to do good, but somehow they just can't help being bad! Bad Beings is a custom D&D 5E Adventure, rife with comedy and high action. The Boys of the Lower Stain are not actually evil. In fact, they do try to be heroes. But their wild ways land them in trouble when things invariably go wrong. Unfortunately for them, there travels have brought them to the Land of Lond, a place known for being peaceful and law-abiding. Once there, they quickly earned the personal ire of Watch Captain Teer, who refers to hanging as "Taking Out the Laundry." But there are dark forces at work at Lond that even Teer knows nothing about. And it's up to you ... the Bad Beings ... to discover what they are. Or stumble on them, anyway. To give you a sense of the tone, we happen to have this transcript of an actual conversation overhead in the Tavern called "The Bifurcated Unicorn": TALIGAR aka "The Ripper": "Let me make is absolutely clear that I never call myself "The Ripper"... VEN-NUN SPYUT aka "Little Damage": "Right. It's not like you even rip anything, is it? TALIGAR: "I'm never rip anything. Ever. We're not EVIL, are we?" VEN-NUN, along with BIG KAMO and KRUGGG-GGG: "No! Not at all! No way.Ggggg-grag!" SETCHUBUS: "I am!" TALIGAR: "Sh! No, we're not Evil! We like a bit of drinking and a bit of fun, and sometimes maybe we end up in a minor scrape with the Law, but WE TRY TO DO GOOD. It's just ... sometimes we get a bit ... what's the word? VEN-NUN: Murdery? BIG KAMO: Drunk? KRUGGG-GGG: Gggg-gagak? SETCHUBUS: (timidly) Evil? TALIGAR: SH! No ... overzealous. We try to do good but things get out of hand, is all. ANGRY CITY WATCH CAPTAIN TEER: (Suddenly entering.) Right! You lot are under arrest for the theft of the Hierophant's cat. TALIGAR: Pound the crap out of him, boys!! ------ [A note about game tokens.
