The year 761 B.C. is winding down. The Time of Unparalleled Darkness draws ever closer; as the year 762 dawns it will be thirteen years until 775 and the climax of the longest of nights. As this year ends something stirs in the shadows, forces ally themselves, and a plan is set in motion that will change the very fabric of reality and usher in what might very well be the final days.
What is that plan?
You tell us!
The Fraternity wants you to give us an adventure hook, a big one! Over the next few months we’ll turn it into an adventure to be released on the site. What’s the catch? We want you to break the world.
Fourth Edition is coming and the game is going to change. We already know wizards are going to be casting more spells, fighters and going to be doing more things in combat, etc. In part, this adventure will herald the change of editions. Similar to Die Vecna, Die, the adventure itself will be written for the 3.5 Edition ruleset and there will be explicit mention of 4E rules or changes, and the edition change will not be mandatory. Whether of not after the adventure you switch editions will be entirely up to you.
But this should not be the sole change in the Land of the Mists. When the dust settles after the adventure things should be different, and not necessarily for the best. Magic might have been disrupted, reality might have fluxuated, the Dark Power’s hold on the world might have been interrupted, or the timeline could have been shifted. Regardless, things are fundamentally different.
How? Again, you tell us!
The contest is open until the 29th of October giving you roughly two weeks to think of a decent hook and adventure skeleton.
The winner will be announced on Halloween, October 31st.
We may also throw in an additional prize.
We don’t require a complete adventure, or even a complete adventure outline. Just a really good central idea with some cool ideas, encounters and changes.
Have a good idea for an NPC? Throw them in. Want to involve the Twins or even VanRichten? Why the heck not? Want to kill of Strahd? Um… maybe you should hold off on that idea.
