Old Scroll Issue 1

Open the OLD SCROLL...

You stand before a white stone door, fitted into the dry riverbank like a plug. Carved onto the outside, but nearly worn away you see an image of a wolf leaping over a spear. That’s the symbol for Redwolf the conqueror, the greatest barbarian queen of her age. Could this be her lost tomb? 

Old Scroll ‘zine is dedicated to OSR gaming, featuring the Old School Essentials (OSE) ruleset.

This first issue delves into Redwolf’s Tomb, a new adventure for OSE, suitable for any setting. A referee can insert this into their hex crawl as a two or three session adventure. The hooks and mysteries hint at more adventures, depending upon the players’ interest in the story hooks presented within. A referee may easily integrate the adventure’s background, NPCs names, genders, etc. into the setting of an ongoing game.

The tomb consists of several chambers designed to celebrate defining moments from Redwolf’s life, such as how she won her name among her folk, the Atun-Kor. Canny PCs will gather clues to the mystery surrounding Redwolf's ultimate fate, allowing them to avoid some dangers, for Redwolf's Tomb is not a place of rest. The hatred and bloodshed between those that betrayed her and the fierce Atun-Kor continues within the crypt. Opening the tomb promises great wealth but may release these evils back into the world!
