Description
Part of Dandyline Games’s “Cover Stories,” a line of adventures designed to “cover” gaps between your regular campaign play. Not everyone showed up? NO PROBLEM! Have to make it a short game night? THIS IS PERFECT! These short, one-session games are actually printed in full, glorious color on a GM-screen-like cover with all the info you need to run them spread across 6 cardstock panels.
With “In the Employ of the King’s Foresters” you get an amazing cross-wilderness adventure that has all the standard thrills of exploration, encounters with wild beasts and lurking monsters as well as a chance to co-opt the management of a team of ordinary laborers – lumberjacks and surveyors trying to pick the best routes through varying types of wooded spaces, rocky hillsides, and rushing rivers and steams.
To do this, the adventure contains a great mini-game, with resource management and push-your-luck mechanics, where one wrong move can lead to wild role-playing challenges. If your players have a mind for the possibilities of a great colonial-era expedition-this is the game for you! But don’t be turned back, thinking it’s all too heady. The action comes steady and strong as the foresting team makes their way across the accursed timbers of “The Droagshadow Weald” all to serve the King’s ambition to have a “high road” connecting his kingdom.
New monsters, a fantastic hex map, and challenges that can’t be solved with a sword alone!
