Rule Play

(c)2022 Konrad Gomez-Haibach

Summary

Welcome to Dustam, a wind-swept city on the edge of nowhere. The town is in desperate need of a real ruler, who enforces the laws. An unexpected band of travelers arrives in the town and is encouraged by a specter, Atropos Fox, to unseat the absent king. Beware the citizens, they have become crafty and wily in the absence of their ruler. Beware the buildings, they are abandoned and rickety. Beware the king, for if you find him, he is still powerful. Your first clue is the golden goat, whose fleece cannot be stolen.

Why is it unique?

Rule Play can be played both as a classic DnD adventure or as a dialog-based adventure. There is plenty to discover by discourse with the townspeople and interacting with objects in the environment. Stealth and awareness are important factors for the players to progress.  For Dungeon Masters, this oneshot adventure encourages players to visualize their environment and form an effective adventuring team in a familiar, yet different environment.
