Terminal City Tabletop Convention 2025

This first level adventure uses the Kobold Press D&D 5e Tales of the Valiant system incorporating the new doom and luck options for thrilling encounters. The characters will be hired by the old wizard Emil to travel into the mountains above Westers Crossing and retrieve lichen know as Old Wizards Beard and moss for his rheumatism on the way they will battle the elements, several new monsters that exist in the Vedder Press published game world and a group of Mountain men. Pregenerated characters will be supplied.

This is a play test of Old Wizards Beard as I plan to publish this adventure in 2025. You can find Vedder Press on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky etc. I'm not good at the attaching links to web pages.

Eons ago, under the leadership of the Bugbear Warlord Korrax Steelshank, the Horde ruled unchallenged. All trembled before the ferocity of the host he drove ceaselessly forwards. When he was cruelly slain by the feeble adventurers of the Realm, the Goblins fell to infighting, and splintered into warring factions.

Now, a vision has come in the night to the shaman of your tribe; the spirit of Korrax is rising! All able bodied Goblins have been called to take up arms, reunite the scattered tribes, and reclaim the glory of The Horde!!

In this Shadowdark Gauntlet, you will play the role of Level 0 Goblin minions, answering the call of their ancient hero. Your journey will lead you through treacherous wilderness; where you will be punished by the elements, ford dangerous rivers, fight off terrifying and deadly monsters, and make your way through a hostile village. Can you answer the call of the Horde, and bathe in the blood of your enemies? Or will you merely be yet another dead minion, nameless amongst the corpses?

The Gauntlet is a deadly adventure, where each player will have their choice of Goblin minion to play. If a PC dies, they can replace them from a pool of pre-generated characters. While death is likely, the odds are not insurmountable, and smart play is rewarded.
