Description
UnderLand is a series of ‘zine-sized adventures from SGP with between 20-30+ pages each issue, all saddle-stitched like classic ‘zines. This area can be placed under any ongoing campaign and is a “unifying substrate” linking adventures from any campaign setting together, allowing a Referee to pull inspiration, locations, and adversaries and obstacles from any source they choose from. In addition, this series of adventures encompasses classic tales of under-the-surface exploration: Journey to the Center of the Earth (many, many different stories), Beneath the Planet of the Apes, The Mole People, several Hercules movies from the 50s and 60s, and over 40+ years (yikes) of the author’s experience running fantasy roleplaying games (Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth, White Plume Mountain, Tomb of Horrors, the entire D-series, etc.).
UnderLand is Part 1 of this series, 36-pages, suitable for entry level characters and those beginning their explorations into the darkness. Four to six characters of levels 1–3 should find the encounters presented herein challenging but manageable. A good mix of classes is important, and classes with a nature or mining – read: underground – focus may find more success. UnderLand is inhabited by various humanoid tribes, fungal mega-fauna, giant insectoid and lizard-like life, and other unique hazards. The encounters can be scaled up in difficulty by adding additional adversaries, reducing the amount of “down time” between encounters, or adding encounters from other sources.
