• Guidelines on how to create non-dungeon adventures for both B/X D&D and Torchbearer.
Volume Two, Issue Two
Deep below the Sea of Glass, beyond the endless mourning song of the dirge gate lies the Bone Forest. It is a vast territory in which every tree, hill, and structure is constructed of calcified bones. Cast in a perpetual twilight by the God Eye, there are no reliable paths in the Bone Forest, just endless skeleton trees, mounds of skulls, and the occasional structure or hamlet to break the powdery monotony.
Do you dare face its challenges and discover its secrets?
