New Adventure is Live!
Keeper of the Drowned debuts today!
I’m so excited. Keeper of the Drowned is live on DriveThruRPG.
This is the latest adventure for Thrones & Bones and the second one using the Black Flag Roleplaying system from Kobold Press. It’s written by ENNIE-winning designer Brian Suskind, set in the city of Bense and the waters just offshore. Yes, this is an underwater adventure (as the title might imply) for 3rd level characters, and it is a trap and puzzle sort of affair.
From the description: “Storms threaten the city of Bense. The sacred statue of the goddess Njunn, the Keeper of the Drowned, has fallen into the sea. Two expeditions sent into the waters of Serpent’s Gulf to recover the statue have failed to return. Njunn’s image, it turns out, has been stolen by merfolk and dragged into their subaquatic caves. Now, the Jarl of Bense seeks heroes to brave the cold waters, confront the merfolk, and recover the stolen statue before the storms grow in such strength that the city of Bense is lost forever beneath pounding tidal waves.”
Keeper of the Drowned is also part of Kobold Press’ Adventure Bundle 2, which includes adventures from DMDave, Legendary Games, Necromancer, Nerdarchy, and Kobold Press themselves. If you are looking for a half-dozen Black Flag adventures, this is a very good deal.
For those playing online, the Keeper of the Drowned VTT Token Pack offers tokens of all the characters and monsters you need to run the adventure, while our partners at Heroic Maps have created the Keeper of the Drowned Map Pack offering high resolution digital maps for home printing and VTT of all the maps in the adventure.
Keeper of the Drowned is also a first for Lazy Wolf Studios. I've done anthologies with multiple writers (Sagas of Norrøngard) and also a collaboration (Vengeance of the Valravn with Kelly Pawlik), but this is the first product to come out from Lazy Wolf Studios that has only another writer’s name on the cover. That will also be the case with Kelly Pawlik's forthcoming adventure this summer.
It feels like the wolf is stepping up. Maybe not so lazy after all.
