Hello and welcome, adventurers and Game Masters!

I am very proud to announce the release of my new book, "Krampusnacht", a brand new HOLIDAY one-shot adventure for use with OSRIC; 1E and 2E; most retro-clone games. The adventure is intended for 4 to 6 player characters of Levels 2-4.  It is available for purchase now in PDF format.

Synopsis: In this scenario your players are asked to help an ancient elven community hidden in the mountains above the human kingdom of Alderburgh. The adventure begins when the party stumbles upon a magical portal to an elven village, trudging along a mountain pass late one evening. Although the elven Yuletide festivities are at hand, sadness grips them; for someone broke through their formidable mystic defenses, entered the valley and absconded with many elven children. The thief also made off with the elves’ sacred gem, the Alfspark in the Common tongue. This large seed, the size of a man’s head, is infused with the mystical power of the elven gods; with it the elven seers keep their valley hidden and in an eternal spring-like state. Without the Alfspark the portal to their valley is stuck open and the elves' secret is exposed; worst yet, if it is not recovered their valley will return, dramatically, to the local freezing conditions.

The fiendish culprit behind the attack looked like a very large satyr, with the upper body of a human and the lower body of a faun. Its rough skin and coarse fur were a purplish black, it has large blackish ram’s horns on its head and its hooves were a deep black. It wore a chain with bells around its waist and a woven basket on its back. The description matches that of the demonic being known as Krampus; each Yuletide it comes to the prime material plane in search of naughty children to punish! As if all this were not bad enough, the elves inform you that Krampus was aided and abetted in his attack by a band of vile-hearted dark elves!

Losing their younglings and the Alfspark will mean the destruction of this elven community. Your players are asked to find and return the captive children;  find the Alfspark; defeat the evil fiends who invaded the valley; and complete the task before the sun rises and the hidden elven village is exposed to the outside world.

Can your players save Yuletide?

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
