Desert Angel Fiasco

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Today an enchanted flying ship, the Desert Angel, will attempt to cross the uncharted Great Sand Sea. The Vahid Trading Company has convinced enough merchants to fill its hold with silks and spices, as well as some other strange odds and ends. 

But Master Vahid is very worried about the safety of his new ship and crew, as well as the cargo. He is looking for trustworthy mercenaries to provide security on the Desert Angel’s maiden voyage. Payment upon (safe) arrival!

REVIEWS

"Well organized, well written, interesting encounters that, for being arrayed like a railroad, give the party as much freedom as possible under the circumstances. A fun little romp. Quite nice format and the NPC descriptions are interesting, evocative, and easy (and fun!) to imagine." --Bryce Lynch (https://tenfootpole.org/ironspike/?p=6876)

DESIGN NOTES

This adventure is intended for low-level characters (1-3). It is primarily geared for social encounters and combat, with some mystery-solving as well.

It runs 2 to 5 hours. (Intended as a one-shot.)

Players ride a flying ship across the desert. Monsters attack. Passengers plot treachery. Mysterious locations appear.

You can keep the tone serious or play up this ridiculous sequence of disasters for laughs.

There are numerous NPCs as well as unique magical items and other treasures.

NOTE: This adventure was written first for 5e and then converted into an OSR version. In the OSR version, you will find (a very few) 5e-isms and artifacts.  

INCLUDES: DM notes, NPC notes, location descriptions, dialogue prompts, stat blocks, original creatures and treasures, and maps.

KEYWORDS: desert, voyage, ship, journey, disaster, sabotage, murder, mutiny, eldritch horror, scorpion, mummy, wasp, pirate, crater, pyramid, zombie, phoenix

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
