This week I soloed my way through TOOLBOX SOLO QUEST A2: A Drop of Venom by Paul Bimler, a D&D 5E fantasy adventure. I was in the mood for Sci Fi, so I used DayTrippers as the RPG system. The quest was to take out the producers of a new deadly poison made locally.
– So, off they went into the large forest. Slim the hunter found some interesting berries. Darcy the doctor got our her organic chemistry set, ran some tests, and made a poison antidote from the juice. Next, they ran into a native Myconid (with a rifle) who was an interpreter and guide looking for employment (Murph). They hired him. When they encountered a dead giant spider he told them that he had killed it. Slim extracted poison from the dead body. After a ravine detour, they came to a lake and discovered a gold nugget. This was followed by an attack by two drug addicts who were there to look for gold. My team won, but two of the four were hit by a bullet and slim got a sprained ankle. They asked Murph if they could stay at his place for a day or two. He said yes. That night, Murph, who was really an assassin hired by the Brotherhood of Spiders, killed my four characters. TPK. My characters were clueless to the danger they were in. Oh well, I guess I will just have to try it again sometime. – the attached image is of the forest they explored.
This is an 18 page document that includes 13 charts and a keyword list. Each playthrough will be different. I liked how it started out in the forest and it had the possibility of ending in a structure. Great job Paul!
