Hand of the Eight Ch. 7 Announcement and Poll
🕑 Added 2020-01-29 16:22:48 +0000 UTCHey all!
The month is nearly over. There's been a couple of Hand of the Eight spin-offs this month, but not enough to warrant packaging it all into a full book for BroadSword #5. Therefore, I'll probably put out Chapter 7 early next month (I've already got it outlined and a cover made, so yes, it is coming) and focus only on Titan's Heir and Hot8 for February.
However, I think I have enough time to put together a quick adventure before the month's end. By quick, I mean, like... 30-40 pages. You know. No big. ;)
Anyways, what level are you guys itching for? I've split it up by tiers to make life easier. From there, I'll pick the level that I've got an itch to make myself. This is a quick poll, ending today at 2pm. That way I can start writing this afternoon/evening.
Bonus: give me a zany story hook in the comments. Naturally, the story will be set in Omeria, like a spin-off.

This is actually on the slate π

Story hook: a "heist" style adventure with a pre-set timeline for events - the adventure has moving parts that happen at pre-set times, and pc actions (or inactions) affect the flow of the story, guard/npc conversations trigger actions (even if the npc's do not hear the conversation "live" they find out about it after the fact. Prominent npc's will leave the area if in danger, or have addtional guards called in. (even better, one or two of them are adept fighters or magic-users able to hold their own or work together). To raise the stakes the opposition is capable of adapting to events and altering their plans to fit. Look to the module "Against The Cult Of The Reptile God" for an example of how a timeline could be done, and if you can, watch the episode of Leverage "the Two Live Crew Job" to see how an opposing force with brains could work........to add to the drama a few hints connecting them to the main objective to the Ho8 ongoing story could be thrown in......

Mustβve been Yennefer!
A well-known and respected local man (mayor? guild leader?) was seen arguiing with a hunched, cloaked figure the previous night. The next day he is found dead in his home with no evidence of how he died and his young child is missing. Could it have something to do with where his sudden wealth and social influence came from years ago?
