Greetings adventurers and Game Masters! 

I am very happy to release the nineteenth book in my Old School Series of adventures, THE FALL OF FATE KEEP. In this scenario your players will come to the aid of a band of fellow heroes who have gotten in over their head when they invaded the dungeon below a ruined keep. These youngsters were searching for hidden treasure and a fabled magic pool, purported to grant wishes to those who sample its waters! This introductory adventure is intended for 4 to 6 players of levels 1 to 3, and it offers GM's a great way to begin a new campaign.

Synopsis: While travelling between quests, the players are camped on the side of the road, near an an old ruined keep, in a small patch of swampland along the western coast of the province of Magus, in the nation of The Imperium. The excitement begins when a pair of adventurers come running out of the ruined keep across the road and right into the party’s camp. Chased by a group of foul undead, the pair stumbles and falls, bleeding and afraid, right beside the party’s campfire, begging for their aid. The players will have little choice in the matter as the mindless undead set about attacking all living beings in their path, including the players. After the battle the players discover one of the new arrivals has died, and the other begs for the players’ aid in rescuing her comrades from the dungeon beneath the nearby ruins.

Will your players answer the hero’s call?

This adventure was written for use with the OSRIC/1E rulesets, but it is sufficiently generic to be compatible with most fantasy role-playing games (FRPG). Minimal statistics are included in the text of the adventure, and the Game Master is encouraged to use their ruleset of choice. This scenario also features new magic items, including a rare and wonderous suit of blessed alligator armour, which allows the player to transform into one of these powerful predators!

PLUS with this purchase you also get a free copy of my 2022 Starry Knight Press Catalog, which has information on all of my modules and supplements, as well as maps of the known portions of my campaign world of Terrans, and bonus content (new monsters and magic items for OSR/5E rules) from my published books!
