The Mystery of Malvern Manor
This is a short adventure I wrote for my kids and a few of their friends last weekend. We wound up with a party of seven 1st level characters, including Hannah playing Sneakatara Boatman as a warlock of Loki , Emma playing a drow paladin of Hades named Victoria , and my wife Sally playing Maleeka , a mute half-orc barbarian. We had a total of five kids under age 12, and they all had a good time. This adventure is set in Breakwater Bay , a small fishing village on the Isle de Mont Deserette along the northen frontier in the Wanderhaven setting. That said, you shouldn't have any trouble transporting it into a different setting if that better suits your game.
I don't know if it's a jump-the-shark moment or something I need to read to get.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't a jump-the-shark moment. It was the start of a new story arc that's going to have some probably very weird consequences.
ReplyDeleteThe thing is, so many superhero books are stale because the companies are afraid to let their writers let the characters change and evolve. But Spider-Man has mostly been an exception to that; he is today a very different character than he was when he debuted, and in the interim, we've seen several different incarnations. Some haven't worked as well as others, but for the past few years, Dan Slott has been building a coherent view of the character--and his enemies--that's been distinctly different than what went before. Slott's Spider-Man has been a successful 30-year-old guy with a great job, plenty of girls interested in him, and a gig in the Avengers where he gets respect around NYC and around the world. So, bottom line, if you've been reading for a while, you can't have helped waiting for the other shoe to drop. Slott's been foreshadowing disaster for the past 100+ issues.
This issue we finally got the payoff.
