I have spent all month so far working with adventures from various systems, tonight I think I will try a systemless one tonight.

The Witch's Daughter - Adventure Module GSAM01

PDF. 68 pages. Color cover, black & white interior art.

This is a systemless adventure centered around a village where a witch was attacked and killed leaving her daughter behind. The adventure is a quasi-sandbox. There are 60 some-odd pages of backstory and details of the village, its people, and most importantly the NPCs.

There is a lot here to be honest, maybe more than needed for an adventure? This is more of a mini-setting.

The strength of this adventure is the lack of stats. Why? I think by having go through the effort to stat ups the NPCs like Count Ducas Fellbane and the titular witch's daughter. For example, I might make Count Ducas a vampire. I know I shouldn't it would be so cliche, but I kinda want to do it to be honest. And the thing is. I can do this if I want.

Again, like some of the other adventures I have reviewed this month I might use this one to shore up some of the others that are not as rich in background as this one is. Yes. This adventure is perfectly fine on its own and it can be used anywhere. But my time is limited on how many adventures I can run; 14th level is going to be the max level.

I think I might try starting this up for a couple of systems to see which ones feel the best.
