Taking control of the Debateable Lands, the Midnight Duke and his followers spread darkness and Chaos. Whether sent to investigate claims of dark powers by the Clerical Order or ordered to stop the threat at all costs by a rival lord, the PCs are sure to meet trouble in this open-ended scenario.<\/p>\n

Well fuck me. 0 for 2 this week. <\/p>\n

This seventeen page \u201cadventure\u201d details a couple of evil NPC\u2019s and lightly outlines a situation. In a lawless border region an evil dude has taken over while everyone else is busy in a civil war. There\u2019s some nobleman who might hire the party to go kill the dude. The dude has three followers and a duke of hell lives in his keep. The local villagers don\u2019t really support him, but are beaten down.<\/p>\n

It takes Pundit seventeen pages to outline this. Lots of history and background, if you are bored and can\u2019t sleep. <\/p>\n

NOT.
\nA.
\nFUCKING.
\nADVENTURE.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a crowd that says something like \u201cit\u2019s art if the creator says its art,\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybe. <\/p>\n

Unless I pay fucking money for it. Then I\u2019ve been ripped off. And I\u2019m bitter.<\/p>\n

The gang is coming over in a few hours and you go to DriveThru to buy an adventure to run. That’s my bar. “There are some evil dudes on the border and a demon” don’t cut it.<\/p>\n

This is $3 at DriveThru. It has a four page quick preview that shows you nothing.https:\/\/www.drivethrurpg.com\/product\/239948\/RPGPundit-Presents-28-The-Midnight-Duke?affiliate_id=1892600<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
