The Black Ruins - FREE Adventure Download
I'm proud to present my second published adventure: 'The Black Ruins'. FREE to download from Lulu, although I also have a print-on-demand version available. It would slot in very nicely with the AS&SH system, in fact when I was writing it I did have the system in mind, and the themes are hopefully reflective of the inherent Hyperborean setting. We playtested it with OD&D however, so there will be some adjustments the referee shoudl make. Enjoy!

Re: The Black Ruins - FREE Adventure Download
This is brilliant thanks! Making the carrion crawler sacred to the cultists and freely swimming around in the dark pool of the cavern is rather nightmarish. thinking of running this as the introductory game before before dropping them into 'Ghost Ship of the desert dunes next month :]

You're welcome! We had a lot of fun when I first ran this. It's a pretty creepy module if it's run well

Re: The Black Ruins - FREE Adventure Download
That's all good. It was a quickie to put together (and produced with a $0 budget) so the product is reflective of the conditions in which it was created!

Re: The Black Ruins - FREE Adventure Download
It's a solid little adventure. Love the name of the escaped villain in the story :]
I'm a graphic designer by trade (and can illustrate) so if you ever do want it layed-out, give me a good few weeks notice and I'll happily put it together for you for free; least I can do in exchange for the great little module I now have :]

Re: The Black Ruins - FREE Adventure Download
I'm always looking for people to do layout, thanks for the offer. I'm not particularly good at it myself so I'll certainly let you know if I have anything in the pipeline.
