The War Below the Waves
A downloadable RPG Module
A system-agnostic "town with a problem" module.
The sleepy port town of Shanty doesn't get many visitors, but ever since the waves started crashing unceasingly, no one can visit by means of the port. The town is low on supplies and needs help uncovering the cause. Could it be a sinister plot from within? Has the Cult of the Kraken returned??
This module was made with OSR systems like Cairn in mind, but doesn't have any stat blocks or even combat encounters unless you pick a fight with the locals. An expanded version with more room to breathe, and a dungeon to pair alongside the town is in the works!

A seaside mystery prompting roleplay focused solutions. I love how simply asks/knows/hides builds a complex web of relationships between characters.
I'm a sucker for a seaside adventure! Nicely done. Love that ripped cover, too.
Love the torn-page cover! The fiction and setting are tight and playable. The relationships to uncover between the NPCs are 👌. Nice work!
