Raging Swan Press has released a system-agnostic edition of Monstrous Delve: Hobgoblins of the Mailed Fist. The supplement includes a ready-made locale you can easily drop into your fantasy roleplaying adventures. The 15 page PDF is available at DriveThruRPG for $3.75.
About the release:
The crumbled ruin of the Watchtower of Auku Vaino has long kept a lonely watch over the wild borderland. Now, reports of heavily armed warriors camped at the site and sightings of something huge flying across the night sky have terrified the local peasants. Has bloody war come to the borderlands? Will all soon be in ruin? Who will shield the borderland folk?
Easily adapted for virtually any other setting.
This System Neutral Monstrous Delve presents the atavistic gnolls of the Bleached Skull tribe, along with a detailed overview of the dungeon below the Hill of the Sunken Skull.
A Monstrous Delve is not a “proper” adventure. Rather, it is a starting point for your creativity. We provide a flavoursome overview of the delve and the monsters therein. You provide their stats and their treasure and pick a suitable adventure hook to draw the characters to the place.
Monstrous Delves are designed so that you can add them to your campaign with the minimum of fuss and effort. Have the characters got lost (deliberately or accidentally)? Have they decided to explore an area of wilderness you have yet to detail? Do you need a side trek or diversion? Simply drop a Monstrous Delve in their path!
Monstrous Delves are system-neutral; however, it is impossible to avoid all game references. A few generic terms such as elf, orc, fighter and cleric appear in the text. Modify these as necessary to suit your game and campaign world.
This product is a Dual Format PDF. It comes in two different versions: one optimised for printing and use on a normal computer and one optimised for use on a mobile device such as an iPad.
