Dread Stillness
An Ironsworn Adventure
Graham Spearing
Slot: 3
Players: 6
You are returning home, having travelled away for a season to the Hinterland to fulfil your sacred vows. With the quest complete, you look forward to seeing family and kin and recounting your tales of adventure.
And yet, as you enter familiar lands, through contested stead borders and the outer ranges of the hunt, there is an eerie stillness, a heaviness that unsettles, as if the very breath of the land has drawn away. Something, you sense, is very wrong.
You approach Ander's Farm on the old East trail, remembering the apple trees and honey that has always come from there. Ahead, through a thick pall of smoke, you can make out a murder of crows circling the farm...
A quest, too close to home, for brave Ironsworn.

Sounds appropriately dire (but awesome!). Can't wait to hear how it goes.
ReplyDeleteI'll have the Lodestar reference guide up in the next week or two. Maybe in time for you to get a copy for a table reference? It'll be pay-what-you-want, so hardcopy will be as cheap as you want it to be (well, US $3.50 or so), and I'll be encouraging anyone running convention games to buy them at-cost.
There are several possible explanations for this portentous mystery. All may be true.
ReplyDeleteI'll be in for multiple copies of Lodestar, fantastic!
Hi Graham, I'm booked into one of your games at UK Games Expo - I'm keen to see how Ironsworn works with 6 players as I've only tried it solo before. I don't want spoilers but can you let me know if it is going to be a GM'd session or GM-less with you as a player too (Terror in the Tempest hills)
ReplyDeleteHi Mick Hand, I had planned to go all old school and make it a facilitated GM session.
