ADD TO WISHLIST >

Out of Luck, take down a crime boss and push your luck in this caper for four 6th-level characters


Take down a brutal crime boss in this one-shot heist with hijinks and heart. Explore Umizu, a seedy coastal steampunk city-state inspired by pre-modern Japan. Umizu is a Radiant Citadel locale that never got a full adventure--until now! Out of Luck features a cursed tanuki statue, a baby’s birthday party, and a steamboat fireworks battle!

This one-shot includes everything you need to run a memorable caper:

  • Full-Color VTT-compatible steamboat bathhouse maps (DM and Player versions)

  • 8 Hand-drawn portraits and tokens for monsters and NPCs

  • Player handouts, a suspicion tracker, and three new stat blocks

  • Compatible with the Radiant Citadel or the Golden Vault; run as a one-shot or as part of a campaign

  • Thoroughly playtested and reviewed; over 30 players and DMs have gone through the adventure

  • A printer-friendly version

Synopsis

The Independent Merchants of Bright Moon Pier are sick of the Safe Oceans Society’s protection racket. After negotiations turn violent, the merchants opt for subterfuge. They hire the characters to infiltrate Boss Yashima’s birthday for her infant daughter and trick Yashima into accepting a cursed artifact, the Idol of Misfortune. Will this be a clean caper, or will the characters find themselves out of luck?

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.
