From publisher blurb:
It is Up to You to Recover an Important Symbol of the Resistance and Score a Key Victory Against the Cryptocracy!
In Words Confound Us, the first official adventure for The Hammer and the Stake, the player characters are sent into the heart of the city of Pest (under the baleful eye of the Dracula government) to recover a legendary printing press. The printing press is on display by a particularly repugnant and regressivist aristocratic family as a sign of their power and lack of fear of socialist reprisal. Worse, the Dracula government plans to reward the aristocrats with some sort of dark ceremony for their victory over the proletariat.
Your characters are ordered to show the vampires that the Carpathian Revolutionary Front still has teeth in Pest, stop the ceremony, and get the damned printing press back.
Words Confound Us is an adventure is designed specifically to ease new GMs and players into the game and the setting.
