An OSR Adventure Double Feature for Old-School Essentials is in its final week on Kickstarter for The Merry Mushmen. On offer are The Horrendous Hounds of Hendenburgh and Raiding the Obsidian Keep. The project is far beyond its funding goal and you can reserve copies of both softcover adventures (with PDFs) for a pledge of approximately $54.00 or grab just the PDFs for a pledge of approximately $27.00 through June 18. Expected delivery on the PDFs is July with the print adventures to follow in August.
About the project:
The Horrendous Hounds of Hendenburgh
Pity the villagers of Hendenburgh! The Kryptwood, where they have lived for centuries, is now haunted by murderous demon hounds. No one dares venture into the forest at night, but surely someone will have to find out where these horrendous creatures came from, or Hendenburgh is surely doomed!
This adventure is an ideal follow-up to Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow: another town to help, another mystery to solve, and more dangerous territory to explore in search of treasure. With roots firmly growing from the horror genre (of the folk variety this time), this new module is close in tone to its predecessor: many of the meandering paths of the Kryptwood will lead your players to whimsical situations borrowed from fairy tales.
Raiding the Obsidian Keep
If you have read Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow and think you know Joseph R. Lewis’ adventure style, you may have to reconsider. Raiding the Obsidian Keep is a full-on dark fantasy romp across a war-torn seascape in search of a cursed fortress.
Sailing to Isla Requia any old day would be a risky proposition. After all, there has to be a reason why the Archbishop of Radiant Vitela has declared the Duke and Duchess ruling the island sorcerers and heretics. But travelling just after Radiant Vitela sent a fleet to overthrow the lords of Isla Requia… probably not a good idea. Whatever dark magics were unleashed during the assault left chaotic scars across the island and changed its inhabitants. Only good news is, so much chaos should make it easier to get in. What hides within the Obsidian Keep’s lightning-stricken walls however may make the most hardened of adventurers flee for their lives.
