Changeling: The Lost – Ill-Conceived Oaths (Part 1)

This is the first part of a short (2-3 sessions) pre-written starter adventure for Changeling: The Lost, a World of Darkness game about fairy-folklore that’s currently one of my favourite settings. Whilst I’m going to be using various Changeling-specific terminologies here, this can (with a little tweaking) be adapted for other systems that include congruent story elements such as literally binding promises.

This adventure would be best used, in my opinion, as an opening to a long-term game, a short “Taster” adventure with a group trying systems out, or a short side-story to an existing chronicle.

As this is aimed at newer players, I will be explaining terminology in brief the first time it comes up.

Abstract: The characters are tricked into making a seemingly innocuous pledge – a literal binding promise – to make sure another Changeling’s acquaintance isn’t late for a scheduled appointment. The task becomes infinitely more difficult, however, when they discover that the man in question hasn’t been seen for a while, and they may have been conned into participating in a rescue mission against their will – or perhaps even a suicide mission!

[D&D] 20 first adventure plot hooks!

I figured I’d give out a decent length list of plot hooks I’d run as a first adventure for a Dungeons and Dragons group of 1st-level adventurers. Hopefully, at least one of these will be useful to someone!

[Paranoia] The Most Evil Thing I’ll Never Do

Paranoia is one of my favourite games. In this post, I’ll go over one of my favourite little tricks I’ve got for it that I’ll unfortunately never get to use – Because it only works for a group of entirely new players, and all my friends have played Paranoia before. It’s my fondest hope that someone will get to use this, and maybe let me know how it went down.
