Accessible Adventure of the Week: The Dark Watchman

August 23, 2021
The Dark Watchman Cover: A 500 foot tall statue of a man in a hooded cloak carrying a staff that extends another 100 feet above its head and holding out a shining lantern that casts a yellow glow on the surroundings. Below the statue is a wetland with a river winding through it. On the river just below the statue is a galleon, and in the distance, another smaller ship. Rolling hills give shape to the horizon.

As the river carves its way through the marsh, the Watchman, a 500 foot tall lighthouse, overlooks the passing ships, lighting their way and alerting them to dangers that would lurk in the shadows. But what happens when the shadows extinguish the light, and what purpose do they have?

This adventure is designed for a party of characters around the third through fifth level with a combined total of about 20 levels.

Disabled NPC of the Week

At Wyrmworks Publishing (wyrmworkspublishing.com), we believe that the more people have chances to interact with disabled people, the more normal it will become in their lives, the more comfortable they will be around disabled people, and the more inclusive our world will become. To this end, we release a free disabled character to use in your game every week to help your players grow accustomed to disabled people in an RPG setting, allowing them to get used to interacting with disabled people.
