Dishonored: An Illicit Trilemma

Dishonored on Discord, Foundry VTT, Theater of the Mind

About the adventure

A bootleg elixir operation has been successfully raided by the City Watch in the Distillery District of the plague-infested city of Dunwall. There’s only one problem. One squad of Guards has orders from their Captain to destroy the elixir on site. Another has orders from a different Captain to bring all the elixir back to headquarters. To make matters more confusing, a captured Bottle Gang captain offers a month’s wages to every Guard to simply fail to find any elixir at all. As newly sworn-in City Watch Guards desperately trying to eke a living for your families, what do you make of all this? What are you going to do?

Gameplay details

There is no expectation of players to be familiar with the source material (the video game) as we will take artistic license with the setting and chronology of events as necessary. I myself will be drawing mainly from the RPG book and from my own imagination, as opposed to a strict rendition of the video game. All events will take place within the city of Dunwall during the rat plague. In terms of crunch, this game is a highly simplified version of Modiphius' 2d20 system, so it is slightly lower on the simulation scale, and a tad higher on the narrative.
