The Kingdom of Krylos is a fledgling City-State, beset to the West by vast deserts and to the East – larger Empires. It is sustained by a strong economy and the expertise of it’s metal-workers known as the Singers (so called due to the melodic sounds of their manufacturing process in action). The Singers of Krylos are renowned throughout the Known World, and Krylos itself is jealously eyed by those who seek to annex it’s lands and resources.

__________________________________________

This Adventure Story provides a setting, starting location, a series of plot points, and rewards and lo designed for a Storyteller to run an Adventure. As with all FrontierGaming titles you are welcome to adapt any aspect of this Module to suit your purposes as the Storyteller.

The Gaia Awakening Core Rulebook (CRB) is required to play this Adventure. You may use any other Gaia Awakening resources at your disposal.

When generating NPCs for your adventure, to create balance simply take into account your Party’s current Skill Ratings and what you require the NPC’s primary function to be. NPC stat-lines are deliberately omitted for this purpose.

This Module essentially provides a beginning and a potential ending. What happens in between is down to the Storyteller and the Party.

Why System-Neutral?

Because we personally play multiple games and systems, and so do virtually all the DMs and GMs that we know. By making it system-neutral, we can focus on strong storytelling without getting hung up on the mechanics and conversions across game systems. (You can read this content and use it at the gaming table inside of five minutes.)


And, let’s face it – if we featured even just the top three fantasy RPGs, that would leave out a whole bunch of others.

So, we are embracing them all with clever, interesting, story-rich material that people can easily convert to their desired system.

We have been developing our format for over three years, and we are confident that you will find it entertaining and useful, regardless of the fantasy RPG system you use.

Professionally Edited

Our editor is Jane Spencer, a qualified editor and proofreader with over two decades of editing, publishing and literary project management experience. (She’s also an RPG gamer and a lovely person!) And last, but not least, we are ably assisted by a number of player testers, content providers and technical advisers.

Modern Format

Created in a modern landscape format making it idea for reading on tablets, laptops and smart phones.

100% Guarantee

We have every confidence that any fantasy RPG fan reading the magazine will find it both entertaining and useful. However, if we’ve gotten that wrong, if you find that it is neither entertaining nor useful – then we will give you your money back without any fuss, argument or hassle.

You can’t say fairer than that can you?

AWB-03 The Dread Mansion of Saragosa

AWB-03 The Dread Mansion of Saragosa

Publisher: Gethsemane Games

Do you need an adventure to drop into your campaign?

Adventures Without Borders is a range of scenarios designed by Gethsemane Games to be used with any rules system.

Every NPC and Trap is rated for its relative threat level to make creating statistics for them in your chosen system quick and easy.

Each product in the range presents GMs with a plot, adventure hooks, a detailed key with challenges for your PCs, a history and full-colour maps. Simply drop the adventure into your campaign and quickly create stat blocks for the creatures presented based on the threat level and you are good to go.

AWB #3 details a huge mansion.  Included as well as the 50 page PDF detailing the adventure and full coloured maps this product also contains 12 VTT maps detailing the mansion, its dungeon, towers and mausoleum. 

AWB #3 expands on the storey of Saragosa, a now long-dead mage first referenced in AWB #1.  

Although the Dread Mansion reveals much about Saragosa’s younger life, the adventures can be played in any order or can be run as stand-alone adventures if you prefer.

AWB #3 takes the party to an abandoned, now haunted mansion and provides combat, mystery, puzzle-solving and a treasure hunt to provide a magnificent dark fantasy adventure.

This is what one playtester had to say about AWB #3; The Dreas Mansion of Saragosa;

“The Dread Mansion of Saragosa is a sprawling multi-floor manor house.  Filled with intrigue, puzzles and a foreboding atmosphere of menace. A truly enthralling adventure awaits your players as they delve through room after room, climbing the draughty towers and descending in the depths of the basements beneath. Follow the trail laid by Saragosa as you piece together his riddle and fight the varied denizens he left behind. From initial approach to heart-stopping conclusion this is the best map/adventure I’ve ever played.  Be prepared and don’t come alone.” – P Heaviside
