Beginners Game: D&D 5e or Cypher System: The Murderer's Trail

About the adventure

A pregnant women attack on the streets of Midtown! Who wants her dead, and why? Join me and explore the richness of Monte Cook's Ptolus: City by the Spire. Where will this mystery take you? The setting is in the City of Ptolus, which has about 130 thousand people. It is high-fantasy, so you will see people and creatures of all types mingling, although it is primarily human. There are 2 additional character races available: the Litorian and the Assarian. The Litorians of Lion-like people and the Assarians are semi-aquatic reptiles. Starting characters are 1st level, and any player handbook characters and classes are allowed. The pantheon is basic D&D mixed with a lot of new gods. The Lothian church is stylized on the Catholic church and is the main church of the land. The adventures are primarily urban and dungeon, with some things happening outside the gates
