This Quiet Road

"...The wet smell of decomposing forest litter fills your nose as you slip and climb down between the dirty tree roots and debris. The tunnel continues downward, and you can control your descent by climbing down the tangled roots. After about 15 feet, the slope gentles out to about a 30-degree angle and you find yourself standing in a dark tunnel, about 5 feet in width. The low ceiling of wet earth and roots brushes your head and shoulders as you move around, mud smearing itself through your hair and over your clothing..."

Is it too long until your next gaming session? Or are you an always-DM and want to try playing a character for once? Or maybe you're starting a new campaign at level 3 and want to have a little back story and adventure for your character? Or maybe you just want to spend an afternoon rolling some dice and having an adventure?

Whatever your reason, 'This Quiet Road' offers hours of adventure and combat where all you need is a 1st level character and some dice. You'll have the opportunity to travel far from home, and if you're lucky and skilled enough, you might get back in one piece a little bit stronger, a little bit wiser, and maybe even a fair bit richer. You choose how the story unfolds and the quest progresses - or doesn't - according to your actions.

'This Quiet Road' is a sizable adventure: - the quest book runs to 81 pages of text and illustrations, with more than 175 paragraphs. The seperate encounter book holds 13 possible encounters, featuring new creatures and all with original battlemaps produced using Dungeonfog. The adventure uses Milestone levelling up, so your character will advance to 2nd level during the adventure, and then level up again to 3rd level at the end.

** Update: Due to the popularity of this product, I've started work on a sequel that will take your same character up to 5th level, and it will also introduce a new option for a warlock Fey or Hexblade patron.
