Hello everyone!

A few weeks ago I had an idea for a bit of a creative challenge and collaboration to create single quest modules for ttrpgs. I approached some lovely artists over on Mastodon and some agreed to give this a go. Since I mainly play DND, it's d20 compatible, but can be adopted into (probably) anything.

The idea is simple: An artist creates or gives me a piece they've made already without any context or further information. I take what I can see and write a single quest module inspired by the artwork.

The Everfog - Field of Spears is the very first one and it's slightly spooky, halloween-y. Another one (with a similar atmosphere) will be released in the next two weeks.

Here's the first paragraph from the (free) 4-page PDF:

A mysterious and ancient sickly green pyramid sits at the center of the crater atop the mountain Kaal. The crater is eternally covered in a thick and impenetrable fog that seeps over its edges into the surrounding lowlands. Those that are caught in the fog never return and their bodies are never found. The people living near the phenomenon call it “The Everfog”, as it never seems to dissipate. The people are weary and keep away from the fog, crater and pyramid, saying they are cursed or worse.

You can find the full PDF in the blogpost this post links to, as well as a complete audio transcript of the PDF on the blog or over on YouTube.

Please also consider checking out the artist and giving them some support: https://mastodon.social/@trizadella

This is free for you to use in your (non-commercial) campaign. All we ask is that, if you like it - or want more of it, go and give everyone involved some love and help share it around!

This sound like a really fun idea! I always love to see free, colorful resources. I am interested in seeing more, but the post only links to the single page PDF. I see the links in there, but can you post them for ease of access. (If I'm missing something, please let me know, and I'll edit this comment).

Keep 'em coming!

Darn, the post changed the link to just the image, I'm updating it now, sorry. Thanks for letting me know!

Also, here's the link as well: https://impheim.com/2023/10/the-everfog-field-of-spears-a-single-quest-ttrpg-module/

Downloading the PDF isn't working for me.

Hm, that's odd. I tested it on Chrome and Firefox right now, Firefox being pretty locked down as far as settings go, and it's working fine. Got any plugins that might be blocking opening new tabs or something?

EDIT: I switched it out for a different way of displaying it, so it's now embedded and has a different link at the bottom, if you could try again and let me know, I'd appreciate it.
