Introduction Introduction About a thousand years ago (Christmas 1981, to be precise) I received a hot pink box that changed my life. (Wow, that sounds more exciting than it should. Anyway.) I loved everything I read in the booklets inside, and I wanted to play this game so much. I had never played, never seen a game at all, so I had only the words of Tom Moldvay to explain to me how it worked and what I was supposed to do if I wanted to be a Dungeon Master. Yeah, that's right, I was Dungeon Mast

Introduction Introduction Castle by the Sea is a unique adventure collection for the Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game. I needed an adventure for a session at the November 2015 Gaming for Goodness' Sake convention in Jacksonville, Illinois. I wanted a compact adventure, one that could be completed in a three- to four-hour session with maps that could be drawn entirely on my two battlemats. I created the adventure entitled Call of Doom for this very purpose. It worked far better than any other adve

Introduction Introduction If you are a player and not a GM, do not read this module. Doing so only ruins the fun of not knowing what is going on. This module provides a collection of low-level, basic scenarios for anyone with simple tastes who wants something they can take and change as they wish. The text is mostly statistics; none of the creatures or characters herein are named, leaving much to the GM's imagination. If sophisticated plots are needed, the GM will have to make them up. This adve

Introduction Introduction If you are not a Game Master, do not read this! Doing so will only lessen the excitement of not knowing what is going on. Monkey Isle is a "lost world" setting – an island inhabited by prehistoric beasts and other strange creatures. It includes background material for the GM (Game Master) and several ready-made adventures. The intent is to give the GM an island to use for their own adventures. It is a place the gamers can visit and revisit as they desire. This adventure

Introduction Introduction The Basic Fantasy RPG is sometimes considered a "retro-clone" game, but honestly, it was created more to replicate "the way we played back in the day" than any specific rule system. In many ways it's a homage to those times and to the games we played back then, and if you're one of those for whom that style rings true, then this adventure module should be right up your alley. Saga of the Giants is just what is says on the tin: a series of adventures pitting your player

Introduction Introduction About This Adventure Long ago, merchants from a faraway land made their fortune trading exotic goods for the raw commodities from the local farmers and miners. Unusual in manner and reluctant to adopt local customs, they nevertheless settled locally in small estates, each built in identical style according to their peculiar aesthetics. The merchants were called the Eliari, and they lived well for many decades until some catastrophe called them home. For decades after, t

Introduction Introduction In the city of Vallerin, fear has taken root. It began with the arrival of Chauncey Lafayette, a storyteller unlike any other. His tales were grim and violent, and his patrons always the victims in his gruesome fables. Lafayette's popularity among the city's young nobles soared... until he vanished without a trace. Soon after, his dark stories started coming true. His patrons began to die in the horrific ways he had described, with no apparent cause or defence against t

Introduction Author's Introduction The Endless Tunnels of Enlandin was probably the third or fourth dungeon adventure I designed. My friends and I played the circa 1978 edition of the game with the blue cover until the "advanced" rules became available. Even after we abandoned the basic game in 1979 or so, I remained nostalgic for the open- ended simplicity and ease of play of the basic game. The Endless Tunnels of Enlandin was my "best" adventure for those rules. A few words of warning to adven

Introduction Introduction Silver Spire Mountain ("the Spire") is a treacherously dangerous natural monument, feared and respected by the regional inhabitants. Clad in perilous ice and snow but seething with volcanic activity within, its sheer cliffs and lava pits deterred humanoid presence and activity even before it was rumoured to be inhabited by infernals and undead. But for one man, beckoned by the plume of smoke pouring from the mountain’s peak, its danger made it impossible to resist as a

Introduction Legend of the Nightmare Voyager For as long as anyone can remember, the Nightmare Voyager has been hailed as the warship that braves the most tumultuous seas, ever ready to rescue those who have lost all hope. Lauded for its nearly-impenetrable hull and ability to move without wind, the vessel’s legend is spread in whispers across the ports of every kingdom—a bastion against evil for some, a menace upon the waters for others. Under the command of the enigmatic Captain Edric Headleye
