Random Roads: Building Better Bandits

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $1.00

Random Roads is an answer to an age-old question for Dungeon Masters: How do I make 2d4 goblins busting out of the forest interesting? Travel is such a common part of Dungeons and Dragon, but it can be a divisive issue. Some players love having the chance to break out the dice and have some combat without the weight of the plot dragging it down. Other players would rather the DM skip to the next town so the story can keep going. Random Roads hopes to fill the needs of both these types of players, by providing short road adventures that see combat players rolling their dice and role players roleing their roles. Random Roads is built for groups of all levels, with a scaling guide and hooks for any wizard of the coast adventures to help the DM drop these paths in front of any party.

Down this road: The humble bandit is a staple of DnD travel. They line the roads waiting to pick off merchants and often start fights with adventurers who will then brutally kill them. Yet, some of our greatest folk heroes were also bandits and thieves, and most people who turn to banditry do not do it out of a need to be evil but to survive and live day to day. Included in this product is

-An adventure for heroes on the road

-Two new backgrounds: The Highway Man and The Sheriff

-A new magic item

-A section laying out how to make the common bandit more compelling

Just ran this with my group and they had a blast. My party was slightly higher level than was recommended and had avoided fighting until the final showdown so I did have to bump up the difficulty of the final fight, but I swapped Swashbucklers out for [...]

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.
