Danger at Black Rock Outpost Module

Okay. I’m done. I’ve finished my adventure module for Palladium Rifts.

This is an introductory adventure meant for a small group of brand new players. It’s a low stakes adventure meant to introduce new players to the game and hopefully keep them interested in continuing. The adventure should take at most two sessions. It will introduce them briefly to the Coalition, to magic in general, and present them opportunities for battle and for decision making.

I’ve run a few simulations with various party make-ups and I think I’ve managed to semi-balance most of the encounters enough to account for three to four new players with a mix of O.C.C.s. GM’s should very much adjust depending on the number of players and what kind of characters they make, though.

GMs should read through the module a few times. New players obviously can read the module, but they’ll know what to expect which means the GM will likely have to remind them about meta-gaming on several occasions.

Hopefully I’ve captured the spirit of Rifts. I know there are a number of decisions I’ve made that will be argued are poor ones. But I remind readers this is designed for brand new players who have never dealt with a system like this.

The Adventure Module is supplied in the form of a PDF. At a later date, I may update it to include maps and drawings. Remember Rifts is NOT a grid based system and as such battle maps are few and far between for it.
