GM: Eric Martin
Level: Beginner (level 0)
Characters: Pregens provided
Description: The Queen’s Onyx Jubilee is set to begin, marking the 95th year of the merciful monarch’s glorious reign. While the entire realm celebrates the good fortune of their long-lived sovereign, a group of common villagers fights to stay alive. For them, the festivities have become a nightmare, as the sounds of revelry are replaced by screams of terror – their own!
Imprisoned in opulence, marked for death, hunted by creatures both grotesque and foul. This ragtag group of unsuspecting villagers must band together to brave the vile mysteries that haunt this place and stand defiant in the face of death itself – if they hope to escape the Veiled Vaults of the Onyx Queen and save their very souls!
Doom of the Savage Kings (Shadowdark)
GM: Andrew Bates
Level: Beginner
Characters: Pregens provided
Description: High above the windswept moors and darksome woods, the village of Hirot is under siege. Each night, as the sun sinks beneath the western mountains and the candles burn low, a devil-beast stalks the village streets, unleashing its savage fury on the living. From warlord to pauper, crone to child, no one is safe.
Defeating the immortal hound will require more than mere blades or even spells. To slay the beast, the characters must delve into the mysteries of the land and its Savage Kings. Only then, armed with relics forged from a bloody past, can the most cunning and courageous of adventurers challenge the hound of Hirot!
A Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure by Harley Stroh, adapted to Shadowdark.

GM: Dieter Zimmerman (he/him)
Level: 3
Characters: Pregens provided
Description: Two weeks ago, the nasty cabbage goblins defeated a party of adventurers and looted from them three rare and powerful magical artifacts. Your rival clan, the undergoblins, have been getting smashed by the cabbage goblins ever since. Boss Soot has had enough, and so she has tasked you with stealing these artifacts from your enemies. Who else would she turn to? You are, after all, the Grotty Jackknives: the most expert group of sneaky gobs the undergoblins have ever known. If you can’t do it, no one can.
This is a heist adventure! Stealth and smarts will win the day over brawn.
