The post title might be a little ahead of itself. But I’ve got two adventures for the without number series ready (one for worlds, one for stars). Now, I’m looking for play testers. I want feedback from both players and GMs. I’m thinking about starting a discord server to do play testing. If you’re interested, head over to my contacts page and reach out!

Echoes of the Void

Introduction: Dr. Ohno, A famous nuero-psientologist went on a short-term research assignment and went missing. His wife Debra started investigating his disappearance, and everyone she talked to started to go missing. A week ago, she received a cryptic message and hired the PCs to follow this clue to find her husband.

Shortly after taking the assignment, Dr. Ohno realized his research was intended to create psionic super-soldiers for a biotech megacorp. This bio-tech firm discovered a lost world with strange psionic properties. Not only did this lead to breakthroughs in psionic research, but the system’s position could completely change the sector’s economy by breaking up monopolistic trade routes. Realizing what was happening, Dr. Ohno attempted to sabotage the research and managed to leak a short cry for help to his wife Debra.

This adventure is a roughly four-hour adventure for 4-6 first level characters in Stars Without Number. It’s part of a longer campaign that I have outlined but haven’t been able to run in its entirety yet. I have run this part of the adventure a few times using SWN and Fantasy Flight’s Star Wars RPG. My plan is to publish the whole campaign in parts, making each module a standalone product.

The adventure starts on the most populous planet in the sector, with a chance for the PCs to follow up on the leads that turned into literal dead-ends for Debra. Then the PCs take a shuttle to a backwater space station to follow the message from Dr. Ohno.

On the space station the PCs get to the space station they’re able to acquire a ship, but it comes with some string attached in the form of a powerful new enemy. They’ll be pursued by local authorities as they leave the backwater space station. The players then end up at an abandoned research station, where Dr. Ohno was conducting research, in a unknown system. The station itself is basically a space dungeon, inhabited by aggressive robots and a torched psychic. Here they can piece together what happened, find Dr. Ohno (in the one-shot version), and realize how big an enemy they’ve made by taking this job.

Mystery in Elanysia

Introduction: Below the Tower of Arcana in the sprawling metropolis of Elanysia sits a seemingly endless maze of passages. For centuries the doors have been sealed shut, and in that time their purpose was long forgotten. Recently, a local thieves guild has taken up residence in these catacombs and allied themselves with forces they don’t fully comprehend, threatening to bring disaster to Elanysia.

This adventure is a dungeon I’ve placed in almost every campaign I’ve run. It’s inspired by the lost woods in the original Zelda game. The module is based on a one-shot version of the dungeon I put together while quarantining with Covid (it’s been sitting half-done for a while!) The adventure has the PCs following a series of robberies, where Imps provide a distraction while something valuable is stolen. Eventually, the PCs should figure out that George, and indebted gambling addict, is at the center of all events. Following him should lead the PCs to an endless dungeon maze where a local thieves’ guild has taken residence. Then the fun begins, as the PCs learn how to navigate the maze. They must stop the thieves’ guild from allowing a demon trapped in the maze from threatening the safety of Elanysia.
