The
Raid
Inspired
by the zine Mystic Pangolin's "Port of Call - Haefod" I've begun a
project to create an adventure mixed with a random encounter system that uses
decks of cards instead of the more traditional paragraph system found in Solo
adventure books such as Fighting Fantasy or Lone Wolf.
This
is a crude map of Wealstown on Sea, a port often stopped at by traders and
small merchants who ply the coast or cross the Straight Sea for nearby foreign
ports. It is known for its fishing and the loose virtue of its tavern wenches.
Unfortunately it has also been espied by a band of Northmen who are currently
plundering the town.
The
adventurers have lodged for the night in a dock-side tavern only to be awoken
by the smell of smoke and the sound of screams.
The
cards will represent encounters and events. Map locations will be numbered and
lettered with both set descriptions and random card draws. Some cards will have
unique descriptions and will be discarded or kept for reference while others
will be returned to the deck.
These
posts will showcase the work in progress but hopefully I can work out a solo
random card adventure system that can also be used by a DM with a little
alteration as a more traditional adventure scenario.
