Monkeywrench

ADD TO WISHLIST >

In Monkeywrench, characters are hired to make a mercenary guild look foolish.  Characters have a short timeline (four days), but wide latitude in how they accomplish the job.  This module includes background on the mercenary guild, a description of the mercenary guildhall, rumors that the characters can find through investigation, and two example sites guarded by the mercenaries.  This adventure will challenge your group’s creativity and roleplaying ability.  It is a great change of pace from classic dungeon crawls and wilderness explorations.

Monkey Wrench is an adventure for a party of four characters of levels 3-4.  Since this adventure focuses on roleplaying and problem solving in an urban setting, it is easy to adapt for any level.  Although there are opportunities for combat, completing the adventure requires a bit of social engineering.  The module is based in Waterdeep, but can easily be changed to any large town or city.  Monkey Wrench is the third adventure in the Power Plays story arc (following Guard duty, levels 1-2, and Monster Squad, levels 2-3), but can stand by itself. The final adventure in the Power Plays story arc, Waterdeep at War!, will take characters to level 5.

As mentioned in one of your other products, I have all of your stuff and love it. Quick question with this story arc. Do you still have plans on publishing the conclusion to Power Plays story arc, "Waterdeep at War"? Thanks!

Sorry, it hasn't been. I switched to creating games using the Blades in the Dark rules. I'd probably use the Battle of Emridy Meadows so that you don't have to balance 'victory points' from scratch. I think with the Dragonlance 'fog of war' rules it could be even easier to do.

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.
