Adventures

Every adventure is a complete evening: zero prep, read-aloud text, monsters printed where you use them, and an ending worth cheering. Three of them so far. All free, and you can start with whichever one your table likes the look of.

The Cat in the Well, Adventure 1: Sir Fluffington enthroned on the broken well
Free

Adventure 01: The Cat in the Well

Old Mrs. Pockle's cat chased something down the broken well behind the bakery and hasn't come back. Go down and bring him home.

One friendly fight, one rescue, one treasure: a whole story with a real ending in 60 minutes, or stretch it to two hours with the built-in bolt-on.

The Bridge Toll, Adventure 2: Nub the gate goblin with a bucket of forks, beside an unbothered ram on the bridge parapet
Free

Adventure 02: The Bridge Toll

The bridge on the river road has a toll now. The toll is forks. The toll-keeper has been missing a week, and somebody has to open that road.

It ends three different ways: out-fight the goblin king, out-argue him, or hand him the one thing he wants. About 90 minutes, and you don't need Adventure 01 to run it.

Nobody's Shadow, Adventure 3: Wren, arms folded in a sunny mill yard below an old windmill, beside a small hooded shadow with glowing eyes
Free

Adventure 03: Nobody's Shadow

The windmill above the village has started turning with no wind, and the shadows go up the hill at night to play in it. This morning one of them didn't come home. It belongs to a girl called Wren, who is seven, and cross, and paying in buttons.

Three endings, and every one of them is a win: out-play the lonely thing in the mill, out-fight it, or work out what it actually wants. Ninety minutes, and it can be the first night your table ever plays.

New adventures land on this page as they're finished, and they're built the same way: whole modules you can print after dinner and run that evening. There's no schedule to them, so they turn up when they turn up.

We'll email you when the next one's ready. That is the only thing this list is for. Unsubscribe anytime.
