Stellarium of the Vinteralf

Just in time for the bone-chilling cold we're experiencing here in Toronto, Michael Atlin and I have put together a winter themed one-page dungeon, the Stellarium of the Vinteralf.

http://www.trilemma.com/blog/adventures/Stellarium%20of%20the%20Vinteralf.pdf
It's system neutral, and will adapt easily to games like D&D, Pathfinder, or Torchbearer with a few notes in the margin.

Enjoy!

UPDATE: To see other adventures we've made, check out the sidebar!

UPDATE: Here's the map art from the one-pager:

    Half my group is suddenly missing for our weekly campaign, but the other half still desperately wants to get together. This will make an excellent one or two shot for my flaky party. Thank you for posting this! #subscribed for future adventures!

      Oh great, hope you have fun with it. There are plenty of others already written, click on the 'adventure' tag!

    How do you play this, I don't see any stats for monsters, traps, etc.

      Justin, these are primarily for games where it's easy to stat on the fly, such as early D&D editions, Dungeon World, Maze Rats, Torchbearer, etc.

      Having said that, the compendium that was Kickstarted in May will have companion PDF documents with stats for 5e, Dungeon World and B/X, so that's one approach.

      Another approach (e.g. in the meantime) is to simply use 'similar monster' stats from whatever system you're using. Vinteralf could use Hobgoblin or Bugbear stats, perhaps, and Jokun could be a medium or small white dragon.

    Mentioning it here because this is the beginning of the Adventure Posts... Adventure # 21 is missing. You go right from #20 "Three For The Grave" to #22 "Chains of Heaven".

    It's not a big deal, just asking in case it was like "The Halls Untoward" and was put on DTRPG (or elsewhere) or not posted on the Patreon... or incase you had a brain fart and skipped a number and I'll just stop hunting for it? ;)

    (Is my OCD showing?)

      I had second thoughts about #21 and didn't release it in sequence. I polished it off and released it as part of the Kickstarter campaign as a freebie for backers, and it's now in the compendium itself.

      Ah, Into the Silent Temple. I should have investigated the Compendium more fully, I just haven't had time to read the adventures through yet, but all I have skimmed has been excellent.

      And the Compendium's Bestiary? I think I mentioned before, perfection. Exactly what I want out of a Bestiary, short, descriptive, not wasting space with stat blocks (I know, I'm an anomaly).

    I couldn't find "A Clutch of Shadows". Where can I find it?

      Clutch of Shadows was released to Kickstarter backers, so it's part of the Compendium.

      Got it!

      I should probably ask elsewhere but how different are your various bestiaries?

      Lastly, do you make reasonable profit on the printed books?

      Well, the B/X , DW and 5e bestiaries have the same set of creatures, but with different stat blocks of course. The first two were both done by Johnstone Metzger, the latter by Jen Atkins. The YZE bestiary, Servants of Memory , had it's own Kickstarter and has a few more beasties and bonus bits.

      The profit from printed editions is okay, yes, it's shared by the contributors.
