The Appendix N Jam

  • Your adventure will be assigned a made up Appendix N book title.
    • Your submission must use and reflect the title assigned to you.
    • We’ll send your randomly determined title within 24 hours via Email.
  • Your submission must be a ttrpg module of some kind.
    • Heist, Point Crawl, Puzzle or a good old fashioned Dungeon are all great options!
  • The module must be no more than FOUR A5 Pages.
    • A5 is 5.8 inches by 8.3 inches, so you could think of this as both sides of a letter sized sheet of paper.
  • There is no predetermined TTRPG system to incorporate. Make your module system agnostic or for a system of your choosing.
    • If you use a system we would request a D&D edition, derivative, or spiritual successor, but this is totally not mandatory.
  • No bigotry, sexism, or hate of any kind is allowed.
    • While we understand the old pulps can contain inappropriate content, if it wouldn’t fly in a book today it’s not worth referencing.
  • No AI content of any kind is allowed.
    • We want to see what you come up with! Creating it on your own is part of the fun!
  • Feel free to charge for what you make.
    • A free digital copy will need to be provided to our judges.

Huzzah, I managed to push through and get it done before the deadline!

Synopsis

This adventure takes place over a roughly six-hour period, consisting of a single night in the town of Wulfarrow during the summer solstice. The events begin at twilight and end in the hour after sunrise.

During the holiday celebration, a relic, the sacred blowing horn, Swansong, is stolen from the mausoleum of Wulfruna, a sanctified hero. This triggers a supernatural reenactment of violent events from the town’s past.

The horn, hear it blow!
It calls us, we must go!
To ruin! To plunder!
Its voice is as the thunder!
Swansong! Swansong!
Once denied again we rise–
A blood red tide! You cannot hide!
Swansong! Swansong!

What’s Included

Per the rules of the game jam, this adventure is formatted for A5 paper and is four pages long.

The extended cut of the adventure is 24 digest pages long, including notes and prized possessions for each inhabitant, extended referee guidance, and more.

System

This adventure was written for my Troupe: Doomsday system but is broadly compatible with most OSR and NSR games. The rules are freely available online.

Lots of community copies in there!
