Tendrils in the Dark
Tendrils in the dark is an investigative horror adventure intended for a level 6 part of four, that lasts one-to-two sessions and has 3 acts. Players will come across the small mining village Ferrum Peaks and soon find something is very wrong. Before long, the party will find themselves plunged into the town's mystery.
Trust Is Hard To Come By
In Ferrum Peaks, people aren't always as they seem. Throughout the adventure, the party will meet a variety of characters who will share information with them, but not everyone has the same motives, and it's up to the players to figure out who's telling the truth. However, there's only so much they can find on the surface.
You'll Have To Dig Deeper
There's a lot of information the players can only access on the surface; however, eventually, they'll need to go underground into the sewers to find out the truth.
Accessiblilty
While developing this adventure we wanted to ensure that content is easy to read and is presented in a way that it's easy for DM's to navigate the adventure to easily identify what is relevant or important. In order to achieve this we've taken the traditional note and narrative boxes and expanded on them. Our hopes is that this system makes it easier for new GM's to run D&D, and for adventures to a be a bit less confusing to run.
For users who use screen readers, we've worked together with DOTS RPG for recommendations and have assigned header values to these note boxes so that they're easier to navigate. We hope that this proves to be helpful and are open to feedback on how to improve the system even more in future. We have no dillusions that we got it perfect on our first attempt and always aim to improve.
