Misty Threat on Arrowmasks - a one page sandbox



Hi, everybody!
This quarantine period allows time for RPGs. Today I present you another mini sandox that fits on a small page.



Sandboxes adapted to solo rpg

In the same spirit as The Big Glacier on the Roof, the first page describes a background with 5 places to visit. The places are quickly described, enough to help the imagination of the players, but not enough to lock you in a maze of already created corridors. It is up to each player to develop his own story. Finally, 3 key questions are announced at the beginning of the document. The tracks of answers are "hidden" in the following pages of the document. This leaves the possibility for solo rpg players to start playing, then to discover the answers when they want. Answers are given in the form of random tables (d4)

 

The story of this sandbox

The story takes place in swamps on the border of any kingdom. About 50 years ago, a green mist rose over the marshes. Since then, attacks by creatures from the marshes have been increasing steadily. To deal with this threat, the local lord recruited an elite unit of archers, the Arrowhawks. These extremely fearsome archers wear a strange mask made of metal. Except for the inhabitants of the castle, no one knows of their existence... yet. Indeed, the king has decided to visit the castle!

Misty Threat on Arrowmasks - a one page sandbox is aviable in PWYW on drivethrurpg.

Related developments for single and mj players
This sandbox is pretty sketchy. One can easily imagine other details to flesh it out:

The Magician's Tower
Little magic tricks in the Magician's Tower
1-A living wall that crumbles on the adventurers, then rebuilds itself
2-large fireplace room: this room is magical: it is three times larger than its walls can hold. However, it is advisable to enter with a gas mask...
3-mimic or magic trunk that imprisons the curious in a dimensional prison.
4-magnetic room "Come without metal..." or risk getting stuck against the walls.
5-mask room: these are the first creations of Damzas: flying masks throwing rays of magic projectile type.
6-The prisons where mutants roam


Something in the marshes
1-Rests of an ancient civilization
2-existence of a frog-men commute
3-presence of an ancient crypt where a powerful undead lives
4-birth of a vampiric mist
5-presence of an old boat that has become haunted
6-presence of a shaman in the pure style of vodoos

I hope you enjoy this module. If you do, you might enjoy The Big Glacier on the Roof
