Présentation de la campagne

Looking for a level 1 One-Shot Adventure with real bite? Welcome to The Slide, set in the harsh desert city of Dwellstone. In this grim metropolis built around the ruins of an ancient temple to a fearsome fire giant king, nearly every dungeon corridor has been explored or sealed off—except for one notorious descent.

Some are forced into The Slide; others take the plunge willingly. In roughly four hours of heart-pounding play, your heroes will face challenges that could alter their fates forever. And if that’s not enough, the 20-page PDF is packed with extra optional material to expand your adventure into the beginnings of a full-fledged campaign, upping the stakes and delivering dire consequences.

Dare to step off the edge—will your party emerge with legendary tales, or vanish into legend?

To restore order—or at least put on a show—Sheriff Halloway has rounded up criminals, vagrants, and the unfortunate, whether guilty or not. One by one, they are cast into the ancient stone chute, plummeting into the darkness of the dungeon below. Few ever return.

What You Get

• A 26-page PDF delivering a full night of immersive, high-stakes gameplay.

• Optional material interwoven throughout, giving you the flexibility to tailor to your group.

• Stat blocks for monsters and NPCs to streamline play.

The One Shot

A deadly tradition, a corrupt sheriff, and a slide into the unknown.

Every so often, a poor soul is sent down The Slide—an ancient stone chute leading into the depths of a ruined temple. For years, none have survived. But Sheriff Brent “Ironbrand” Holloway has grown tired of the status quo. This time, he’s sending dozens down at once—tavern brawlers, drunks, debtors, and misfits—all for the sake of a grand spectacle.

At the bottom, Boss Bronzetooth and his goblins lie in wait, ready to capture and sell the hapless victims to the pits of the quarry. But this time, they’ve bitten off more than they can chew. For the first time in years, the prisoners fight back.

This fast-paced dungeon crawl is packed with action, deadly encounters, and a race to escape. Players will battle goblin bandits, navigate the ruins, and uncover long-buried secrets—if they can survive. At stake is freedom, fortune, and the chance to become a legend.

Perfect for a one-shot or convention game.

Lugmok the Ogre knows he isn’t the sharpest club in the armory, but he’s no fool either. A fight with these heroes means losing many of his favorite pet goblins, and that sounds like a bad deal. But then there’s the secret door the goblins keep talking about. A way out without a fight?

The Two Shot!

Deeper dangers. Darker secrets. More Slide.

For those who want more—more dungeon, more danger, more choices. The Two-Shot version expands The Slide with a secret door, a dangerous deal, and a descent into true darkness.

After the chaotic battle with Boss Bronzetooth, the cunning goblin captain offers a choice:

• Fight his Ogre champions and overwhelming numbers: a hopeless fight.
• Or take a secret path—an ancient, unexplored dungeon beyond a hidden, unexplored door.

What lies beyond is uncharted territory, filled with:

• Ancient Undead – Guardians of forgotten gods, waiting for intruders.
• Shrines of Power – Mysterious altars where the bold may gain blessings—or curses.
• Traps & Puzzles – Deadly remnants of an age-old civilization.
• A Final Trial – A terrifying guardian standing between the heroes and escape.

Survive, and they return as legends. Fail, and their bones join the forgotten dead.

For groups who want a deeper, deadlier dungeon crawl experience.

What You Get

• An total of 50+-page PDF delivering two or even three nights of play.

• More optional material.

• More stat blocks for monsters.

• Unique boons and curses that introduce unpredictable twists.

• Brand-new minor magic items to enhance both challenge and reward.

Beyond the secret door lies a true dungeon, untouched for 2,000 years. These depths were once dedicated to the Fire Giant King, the god for whom the temple was built—and his presence still lingers.
