Urban Adventures: A Pound of Flesh (OGL) PDF
0one Games
The Great City remains an ever-growing conurbation whose opulent aristocracy is fueled by the influx of international, free-market trade. Dreams of wealth draw transients to the city like avaricious vultures to the flesh of a fallen calf, but the free-market is only one of the many ways to get rich in the Great City.
A Pound of Flesh is a d20 adventure designed for use with the 3.5 version of the world’s most popular fantasy role-playing game. A low-level urban adventure, Pound of Flesh is designed to introduce players to 0one Games' Great City Campaign Setting and is most appropriate for a group of four 3rd-level characters.
The module includes beautiful artwork by Eric Lofgren and Hugh Vogt.

...plus, the plot as well as the adversaries are wonderful.
Designed to get a campaign in The Great City off to a flying start, this adventure embroils the characters in an investigation of the disappearance of a drunk pearl merchant that leads them to places they'd probably rather not go and people they'd rather not meet, with a spot of arson, evil cultists and revolutionary plots for good measure!
From the very beginning, there is a lot going on and the characters have cause to explore a lot of the city - in particular, the seamy side of the docks - and interact with many different people. It's not all talk, of course, and there is ample opportunity for combat as well, while the finale involves the need to defeat the enemy against the backdrop of a very high-society party - preferably discreetly! The adventure is probably not suited to players whose main interests lie in fighting and acquiring loot - but if a rich tapestry of varied characters all leading their own lives within the setting appeals, you have picked up the right adventure.
Overall, it is an outstanding adventure with a depth that - despite what might seem a simple plotline - should keep your players well-entertained and their characters challenged and intrigued. Thoroughly recommended both as an adventure in its own right and as a way to introduce characters to The Great City.

Five stars from Megan Robertson? WOW.
Not only a fantastic adventure... I had the pleasure of watching Tim Hitchcock run it at Gen Con. The man's explosive energy could reignite a dead star, but knowing how bent Tim is, I'm sure he'd rather just munch popcorn and watch it die again.
Man, I love the Great City. :) It's just so... What's the word I'm looking for?

Seriously though,
Thanks for the wonderful review Megan!!!

Tim's play test for "Pound of Flesh" is responsible for what just might be my favorite quote from Gen Con 08.
As Nick Logues' famed barbarian-in-denial suddenly discovers his true self and enters his first and most gruesome of his blackout rages in an alley in the heart of the Great City. . . a voice could be heard to utter:
"Uh oh, here comes character development!"
I'm still traumatized.

We'll have to finish the rest of that game next year...
