Broken Bastion

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A derelect spire stands landmark on the Crystal Frontier's Northern border. Glassy pink masonry shattered, pillars tumbled, and the entire edifice driven into the earth - an arrow from beyond the fixed stars. Ignored as too small and inaccessible by the larger bands of Gem Robbers, perhaps there's still treasures beneath the Broken Bastion's ruin?

GAZE upon arcane works of the Empyreans!
FLY from the ominous tread of thier War Automata!
SALVAGE wonders from beyond the terrestrial sphere!

A complete fourteen page mini-adventure for Level 3 characters designed for the upcoming Tomb Robbers of the Crystal Frontier setting, but ready to drop into almost any fantasy world. Broken Bastion is stated for the wayward offspring of older editions of the first roleplaying game and easily converted to retro-clones such as OSE.

Broken Bastion is an experimental adventure, a testbed of complex mechanics that create a high-risk environment for the adventurers within and includes a fair number of explanatory notes to assit Game Masters with these atypical mechanics.

Here's a link to the author's blog wherein they discuss the design philosophy behind the Broken Bastion and other "jewelbox" adventures. https://alldeadgenerations.blogspot.com/2021/02/jewelbox-design-and-broken-bastion.html#more

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
