Adventure: Snapshank Canyon

So this was an adventure I put together just after the release of the 5th Edition of Dungeons and Dragons. I usually document adventures like this on a personal wiki my group keeps and I thought it may be good to share with other people that fancy a quick, combat heavy adventure site to play, especially since the D&D 5th OGL has just gone live.

Snapshank Canyon

Snapshank Canyon is a small adventure site for first level characters. By the end they should either be 3rd level, or very close.

When they reach the canyon read the following description.

You have reached Snapshank Canyon. The gully entrance is fenced off by a high palisade and about the craggy hillside you can see several buildings that have been constructed, each connected by bridges. The entrance to the gully is watched over by a guard tower.

The players can approach this in many ways. The guard atop the tower has good visibility on anyone trying to enter.

Introductions from the Dungeon

Well, it appears I’ve finally submitted to the pressure and started a blog. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while, but have been forever unable to find time and/or interesting things to say about. So anyways this is the blog, a blog about all things that may be considered geeky (and probably many other things), from well known video games, to musings on geeky literature (I’m a sucker for the Cthulhu mythos) to dice & battlegrid games like Dungeons and Dragons and my rambling thoughts on them. 

I like to think that there’s a game out there for everyone and that it’s just a case of finding it for them. I’ve enjoyed the chance to play a huge throng of boardgames, video games, wargames and rpgs and I’m very enthusiastic about them.

I will probably try and cover a vast array of these things and probably post dungeon maps, adventure hooks and all that good stuff for anyone interested as well as views on books I’ve read and TV shows I’ve seen, and no doubt a great deal more but until then feel free to keep button mashing and dice rolling.
