Dcc The Coinswallower (GDR)

Description

These are desperate times. The punishing rains have spoiled most of the crops, and famine is an imminent threat in the region. The people in this tiny outpost town are poor, frustrated, and afraid. They are fearful for their families and anxiety-ridden about the coming winter.   The famine around Stennard has resulted in many displaced visitors, looking for work. Many find their way to The Lost Traveler Common House. One peculiar guest at The Lost Traveler has drawn the attention of the desperate townsfolk of Stennard. Under their breath, he has been dubbed, the Coinswallower. Some believe he must be hiding wealth in his stomach. because he has been seen vomiting up coins on more than one occasion. This a pamphlet-sized, DCC RPG compatible encounter set in the region around Stennard. It is meant to be played as a location, possible henchman, and side quest murder mystery. It is basic enough to be used in any setting, or it can be tied to The Stennard Courier Vol. 1 and The Precipice of Corruption. It does reference a cursed item detailed in The Tome of Debasement, but having the full details of this item are not necessary to get the full intrigue that this encounter offers. The Coinswallower is suitable for levels 0-2.   The Team: Writing: Nick BaranArt: Carlos Castilho & Jamie Jordan   Trifold pamphlet, 8"x11", black and white
