Perilous Places: The King's Mercy

ADD TO WISHLIST >

** ALL OF THE AUTHOR'S PROFITS ARE BEING DONATED TO THE ALZHEIMER'S SOCIETY **

"The story of the surrounding area and the madness that infected it is great, and Baalham does a great job of populating his prison with hazards and encounters that ooze theme."

"...let’s talk about the Despair Track... It’s also trivially easy to keep track of, which means it won’t get in the way of you running the rest of your game."

-Loot The Room Best of DMs Guild January 2017


"...an interesting supplement for Dungeons & Dragons that covers the running of a game within a long-abandoned prison.

-Tabletop Gaming Magazine.


"There are a lot of little details here that help spark the imagination, and it's worth mining this supplement for ideas even if you decide not use anything presented here whole-cloth. In fact, I wasn't even considering an insane asylum adventure location before reading this, but I have to admit I am now!"

The Rambling Roleplayer Review


Abandon hope all ye who enter! Can you survive the horrors of the King’s Mercy?

The Dungeon witnessed the torture of innocents, the barbaric infliction of pain on the guilty, and the pleasure the staff took from the suffering of the inmates. Acts so depraved that the very fabric of the dungeon could not help but absorb these evils. And so it sits, waiting to share its suffering with anyone that intrudes within. 

There are only two things The King’s Mercy knows: humans can be as depraved as the vilest monsters they hunt…. and misery loves company.

Perilous Places: The King's Mercy is a location template to aid in running gripping and terrifying adventures in a dungeon created for torture. This 20 page PDF features: 

  • 3 brand new monsters
  • 3 unique magic items
  • the Despair Track, an innovative new mechanic for measuring how the PCs are handling the horrors of the dungeon
Written by Paul Baalham, co-author of Defenders of Midgard, and the Midgard Bonus Bestiary for 4th Edition (both Kobold Press)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
