The dark Overlord Saethor has come to power, threatening death and destruction to all who oppose him…and a few who don’t.
Saethor, whose Dark Legion was hired to keep order in a time of famine, betrayed and massacred the council that hired him, and seized power.
With a name like “the Dark Legion,” could one really expect it to end any differently?
He assimilated the Red Fang orcs and defeated the elves of Amberwood. Now, his avaricious gaze turns on the Kingdom…
Play the roles of a small group of soldiers fighting in an all-out war to defeat the evil Overlord before it’s too late.
Will Saethor’s Bane fall upon the forces of the Kingdom, or on the Overlord himself?
This solo/programmed adventure is designed to get players and GMs used to playing the Dungeon Fantasy RPG.
It features “fighting” characters with a starting value of 112 points, and rapidly boosts the warriors’ capabilities over the course of the adventure. Ease in to the Powered by GURPS play-style, and embrace your inner hero!
Branched Path, Programmed, or Solo Adventures
Sometimes things get in the way of gaming. Life happens. Schedules change. Maybe the world goes on lockdown for two years.
That doesn't mean you have to stop gaming.
Gaming Ballistic is pleased to bring a conversion of David Pulver's Dark Lord's Doom - previously available for The Fantasy Trip and Old-School Essentials - to the Dungeon Fantasy RPG community in the form of Saethor's Bane.
If you are familiar with the Choose Your Own Adventure stories, released by Bantam Books between 1979-1998, as well as the GURPS First Edition (and through Third Edition, I think!) solo All in a Night's Work, featuring Dai Blackthorn. Saethor's Bane has a similar structure.
You won't need a GM - you follow the branching pathways as you make choices. If these choices lead to violence, resolve conflict using the Dungeon Fantasy RPG rules.
You can still use a GM! This "solo" adventure follows the path of four mercenary soldiers who have signed up to oppose Saethor, the titular Dark Lord, by force of arms. One person can play all the roles, or several can play through the scenario, dividing roles as needed.
Use Saethor's Bane to:
- Keep gaming when you can't get together with your usual group
- Learn the Dungeon Fantasy RPG game rules at your own pace
- Run players through a scenario with near-zero prep - they can experience roleplaying within moments of sitting around a table. Great for bringing in new players, or even stress-free convention play.
