Description
The mysterious disappearance of two prominent faculty members of Hearthglow Academy led to the sealing of the school library's Eastern Wing. Twenty years later a group of students is sent inside, and what they discover will change the course of history. This book contains an introductory adventure trilogy for a party of 1st to 3rd level characters for the 5th Edition of the World's Most Popular Roleplaying Game, and an extensive appendix describing wondrous tomes and volumes that could be found on the shelves of this, or any, magical library.
•Originally presented to authors in the Gen Con Writers Symposium as a series of adventures in front of a live audience, Tales and Tomes from the Forbidden Library is a fully compatible D&D 5E adventure for character levels 1-3, written by speculative fiction author Gregory A. Wilson.
•The adventure leads characters into the Eastern Wing of Hearthglow Academy’s Library – where they will discover why it has been forbidden to students and teachers for twenty years.
•But Tales and Tomes is not only a three part adventure which can be placed in any 5E compatible setting; it is also a sourcebook, with prominent science fiction and fantasy authors, and tabletop gaming professionals lending their talents to describe various books which can be found within the library – from grimoires of spells to weaponry manuals, from atlases of vanished lands to bestiaries cataloging legendary fauna, to fragments of lore, poetry, and art – and everything in between.
•Published by Alligator Alley Entertainment, the Ennie-nominated publisher of Witch Hunter 2nd Edition and Esper Genesis, and featuring beautiful cover art by Sarah Dahlinger and interior art by Sean Usyk, Tales and Tomes from the Forbidden Library brings together mysterious creatures, a vibrant setting, and a compelling story into an adventure which DMs will love to run and players will love to play – and a sourcebook which will help enhance many future adventures as well.
