Deep Dark Wood
THIS IS FOR THE PRINT VERSION OF THE ZINE.
“Be he boar or be he man, he has a single knife. And if you come upon his mind, he’ll end your too short life.”
There was a time that your ancestors knew the forest was to be feared. It was deep and dark. No sun touched the heart of these woods and those that went in were often not seen again. The beasts that ranged there were strange and if any religion was practiced within, it was old, odd, and evil. At least, that’s what the peasants would say, banded together in their small towns for safety or the illusion there of.
This is a tiny hex crawl. There are seven locations you can add into any game you’re running with a narrative that runs throughout. Throw them into the center of the forest in your game world, run it as a simple one shot. or use it for inspiration. Marginally, it is designed for 5E, but the mechanics are light. It’d be easy to tear out the warm bleeding heart of it and use whatever fantasy game system you love most.
Master of the Onyx Tower
*You need the base game for Marching Order to play this delve.
“Drink up, my friends, for we cannae foretell who will survive the night.”
Grunheld slams a frothing pitcher of ale onto the table. The northerner is either a happy drunk or a mean drunk, and there is never any telling which you might get. It looks like you are lucking out tonight, which is good. You don’t have much coin left to spend, and your mug is almost empty.
“That’s right, you southern softbellies. Ever since the Onyx Tower appeared outside of the city walls a fortnight ago, people have been disappearing every eve. The guard won’t talk about it, but each morning, another person fails to return home. Some claim to have seen weird shadowy beasts howling through the streets in the wee hours of the night. Gossip it may be, but I’ve seen stranger things and have no wish to test my luck.”
Take your Rogues to a strange wizard’s tower and pillage everything in sight! Ponder orbs! Deal with fecal covered imp dens! Live your best Rogue life!
“The Master of the Onyx Tower” introduces two new characters- The Northman Berserker and the Wizard’s Apprentice. In addition, it brings you Dusty Balls tavern, for when you get kicked out of your regular watering holes. The greatest thing about Dusty Balls is it has booze to go, so your Rogues never have to adventure sober again!

Skin & Bone: A RPG Zine of Harvesting Monster Parts for 5E
THIS IS FOR THE PRINT COPY OF THE ZINE
The stinger of a Wyvern. The tail of a Manticore. The heart of the Rakshasa. A certain gland from a ghoul.
Monsters have special powers, it’s true. WIth a deft hand and a sharp blade, however, you can even the score. The poisonous stinger of that Wyvern you just killed shouldn’t go to waste, right? What about the pelt of a winter wolf? These things have power – if you know how to harness it.
Skin and Bones provides sixteen different useful pieces of monsters you can harvest. It runs the gamut from pelts to singers to internal organs. We all know your medicine skill isn’t getting rolled enough. We can help with that. Each entry details one particular item as well as how to get it and a little flavor to inject it into your campaign with.
