Your players will embark on a quest to the Harvest Temple to stop the disasters plaguing the land; storms, quakes, swarms, and plants having a mind on their own.

This adventure was made for the Knave 2e adventure jam.  Its 8 pages feature five chapters, multiple resolutions, and printables:

  • The town of Greenhill offers an introduction to the problem and an opportunity to gear up
  • The Forest is a region hexcrawl where players must make haste to find the Harvest Temple by nightfall before the Bog Lurkers come out of hiding
  • The Temple Garden has gotten a mind of its own, offering a unique dungeon crawl with a risk and reward mechanic
  • The Harvest Temple welcomes the players with a murder scene and social encounter with the culprits
  • The Temple Catacombs are a randomized dungeon full of ancient lore to discover about the place and feyfolk once inhabiting it
  • The final confrontation gives the players three resolutions. Who's side will they pick?

This adventure also comes with printables! Print and cut out your own Bog Lurker paper minis, and use the watch wheel to keep track of the watches in the forest. The region hexmap and the temple map can be printed and given to the players as well.

I hope this adventure gives you a wonderful time with your players. Enjoy!

Hey I just ran this as a session 0.5 since one player missed session 1. It was great! I used it as a sort of “tutorial” scenario and it really does everything I could hope for a started adventure. Some highlights:

  • I had to scramble and read it like 20 min before getting together and it was no problem, it reads very well although some bullet pointing might help it a bit in that department.
  • The monsters ARE tough but totally fair.
  • The creepy miniatures gathering on the table idea is freaking genius and my players loved it, it was VERY creepy. I also loved the little circle for watch-tracking, it replaced the one I crudely made myself in an instant haha.
  • On that same note, it would be nice to have a separate print out with just the minis, I had to print the page with them several times to get more than 3. :p
  • The hedge maze mini-game is ALSO freaking genius, we loved it, totally stealing that for the rest of the game.
  • ABSOLUTELY LOVED the moral dilemma at the end, my players were locked in with the murderous fae waifu assasin gang and ended up destroying the relics after some serious conversation and badass roleplay. One of the players became a Witch of the Woods acolyte too!

So I would say it’s great except for some understandable errors like d6 tables being labeled d8 and such. I would also say this is on the longer side for one session but fits very sleekly for two sessions. We ended up playing for around 5 hours + character creation, and I did skipped/changed the catacombs part to make it shorter as it was getting late. Can probably run it just fine as a two-session adventure.

Thanks a lot! Great stuff.

Hi Nimlouth, thank you so much for your kind review! It gave me a big smile to hear that my adventure was such a good experience for your group :). Love reading the highlights and I’m so glad that the chapters I designed played out pretty much how I hoped! I ran it myself a few times and the monsters are adding a lot of creep indeed ^^.

Your feedback is totally fair! The monsters are a bit too tough, I was very new with Knave and very much still figuring out the right balance. Glad your players survived (I think?), one of mine did not!

I had to crunch the minis on the last page as the contest I made it for had a page limit, but I guess now that is over I can add a separate printable sheet ^^.

Thank you again so much for your wonderful review!

Wishing you and your group the awesomest of games and the best of times! Keep shining!
