Querritix System Set—Mini-Adventure: Trouble in the Nursery (SFRPG) PDF

Mini-Adventure:

This adventure is intended for 4 – 5 2nd level PCs. The mini-adventure comes with a full-color map, though no player-friendly iteration is included. It also features both of the monsters – a shorthand of the monster-entries sans stories is provided. You can run this module sans access to the monsters-card, though it does lose its impact a bit. There is a formatting hiccup in one of the shorthand statblocks, but nothing grievous.

This being the section of system’s review that talks about the adventure included, the following contains SPOILERS. Players should jump ahead to the verdict/conclusion.

Only GMs around? Great! Soft Words on Wind, a haesten philosopher-poet, was approaching the end of their life-cycle; as such, they boarded their crèche, far from the Querritix system, preparing for the birth of the new generation of philosopher poets, who’d spread their beliefs to the stars. Unfortunately, Soft Words on Wind broke under the stress, sending forth a distress signal. As the PCs explore the little dungeon of sorts, they will encounter the deadly defenses of the rogue pod brain, as well as the hatchlings – in short, this is an introduction by witnessing it to the unique life-cycle of the race, and yes, traps, DCs etc. are sensible. Now, personally, I would have enjoyed an additional reward for successfully keeping all hatchlings alive, but that is just me nitpicking. The second card-page has a bit blank space: A creepy little dressing-table or small sequence tally would have filled the space and made it even nicer. Similarly, making the NPC BBEG a bit more unique re stats would have been nice.

All in all, this is a fun module, considering the limited space it had available. 4 stars.

Endzeitgeist out.
