Bride of the Rat King–an adventure for Barbarians of Lemuria

Finn Cullen2 Comments

Bride of the rat kingMy new adventure for Barbarians of Lemuria – Mythic Edition is now available free. 

Your bold heroes are engaged to investigate the disappearance of a young noblewoman in the shadowy underworld of the city of the Lich King.   Dangers, death, intrigue and some foul magic will surely await – as you would expect.

The folder includes the pdf of the adventure itself plus some .png files ready made and scaled for use as Roll20 battlemaps (the file name gives the size of Roll20 screen to create for an exact fit)

I’ve included some conversion notes for Index Card Role Playing Game the philosophy and mechanics of which have been inspiring me for a while now.

I hope you enjoy the adventure – please let me know what you think and how things go if you bring it to your table.

Aru-Kamis–Return to the City of the Lich King

Finn CullenLeave a comment

I’m currently working on a new Barbarians of Lemuria adventure Bride of the Rat King which is tentatively located in my existing setting of the dreadful haunted city of Aru-Kamis (though it can be dropped into any setting that has cities with disreputable areas, which is pretty much all of them).   Because it’s been a while since I posted my Aru-Kamis setting online, and because when I originally created it I inadvertently and spontaneously created a gang of criminals that had the same name as a gang of criminals from another and rather wonderful game, I thought I’d tidy up the setting material, correct the coincidental plagiarism and reupload it.

So if your Barbarian heroes are likely to enjoy visiting a haunted city of shadows ruled over by an immortal lich, then you can find out all you need to know about Aru-Kamis (and hints about its sister cities) HERE

Aru-Kamis: CIty of the Lich King #BarbariansOfLemuria

Finn Cullen1 Comment

In response to some positive feedback I’ve put together a short document detailing a setting I’ve been using for Barbarians of Lemuria (Mythic Edition, not that it matters).    This is one particular city in one particular country and it’s a useful jumping off point for several different types of adventure.

It can become the home base for your heroes, or a final destination on a quest to discover dark horrors, or it can be the setting for adventure itself with plot hooks inherent in the setting for everything from palace intrigue, to cosmic horror, to street level skullduggery.

Use what you can, change, adapt, bend fold spindle etc and I hope it proves of interest.

If it does, I’d love to hear what works.

Long Night at Blackthorn – a Barbarians of Lemuria Adventure

Finn CullenLeave a comment

I’ve just finished work on a new Barbarians of Lemuria adventure – this one using the Mythic Edition rules which I treated myself to recently – Long Night at Blackthorn.  A stopover at a remote inn proves to be filled with trouble as other patrons and their agendas all clash on a night when dark forces are let loose.

The adventure itself is adapted from one I’ve previously run for Fate Core and which I think fits with the darker side of the Sword and Sorcery Genre

While light of mass combat and mayhem this scenario works best as a single night adventure perhaps as a break in an already ongoing journey though, as usual, I’ve left a few exit points in the storyline that could lead to further adventures.

I’d be glad to know what you think of it, and if you’ve managed to get any use from it.

Five Lights – An Adventure for Barbarians of Lemuria

Finn Cullen2 Comments

I’ve recently become enchanted by the simplicity and clarity of Barbarians of Lemuria – a role playing game in the Sword & Sorcery genre.

To that end I present “Five Lights” an adventure in which our heroes are called upon to rescue a fair maiden, probably against her will, from a new religious movement.   All things are, as you would expect, not what they seem.
