On our last episode of Atomic Array, Tim Hitchcock mentioned that 0one Games would be releasing a series of linked adventures set in The Great City. The first one is out…
The lightless warehouse alleys of the Trades Ward fester like the sour, fly-covered belly of an old nag. When the streetlamps dim, the wood-planked warehouses seem to stagger with their own decrepit drunkenness, and what little pity the ward can muster comes from beggars too poor to split a copper or toughs who gather in vacant storerooms to wager coins and chickens upon their fists. Is it any wonder then, why it sparks such a romantic attraction to off-duty military officers? For here, there are no lingering eyes of justice, no harsh penalties or judgments other than what a man can dole out with his own muscle. In a minute, a man can prove himself a primal warrior, or fall to the dust and tribunal humiliation of his silent peers.
The Skullcrackers, written by my friend John E. Ling Jr., is a low-level urban adventure designed to introduce players to the Great City and is appropriate for four characters of 1st-level.
