Publishers Blurb:
25 Encounters in the Eerie, Barbaric North is a by-product of my own RPG sessions, and based on encounters I presented to my own group while they ventured North of Hadrian´s Wall in a world based upon 14th century England (or: plan to do, as at the date of publication the small campaign is still ongoing). While the title is compatible with Lamentations of the Flame Princess(tm), the encounters were not written with a 16th or 17th century world in mind but for an earlier time period.
The “barbarians” in this release (that are not described as Scottish, Gaelic, Pict or anything but just named “barbarians”) fight with spears, axes, shields and short bows, wear nor armor or leather armor. They life in simple cottages or block houses, and either isolated or insmall villages. The region that is imagined to be the backdrop of the encounter is an isolated and cold land with rough hills and woodland: a rather typical environment in most game worlds. A few encounters feature local animals, most focus on the inhabitants of the land (and not all of those will lead to a fight). About half a dozen are strongly supernatural and included fairy and ghosts, some
feature troll or giant creatures. Only one encounter with demi-humans (dwarfs) is included.
Ten pages, more than 6500 words in total. Two pages are cover and front matter, eight pages feature the encounters and some artwork. A printer-friendly black/white version is part of the download as well.
