The newest adventure from Genius Loci Games is up over at RPGnow and Drivethrurpg. This new adventure abandons the Two-Page Adventure style to answer some of the biggest questions of the Usarm games and to create many more. “Assault on the Southern Horn” was written by me and features interior art, back cover art and cartography by the Fantastic +Frank Turfler (I went to the Stan Lee School of Nicknaming) and was created for use with +Frog God Games‘ Swords & Wizardry rules or nearly any OSR ruleset!
In the swamp lands of southern Usarm a horn, glowing and bright has erupted from the fetid earth. The town of Backbend has become lost within the swamps it once boarded and its people have vanished. Tyor, Sage of the Mage Academy in Coralius, and his young apprentice Cami have been sent to investigate and discover the nature of the swamp’s encroachment and that of the glowing Southern Horn.
What Tyor finds is a town overrun with Dark Elves and strange beings. Cami is taken in the night and Tyor desperate and alone sends a plea over psychic webs. Come to Backbend, breach the horn and discover its secrets and the plans of the Dark Elves … and most of all save the apprentice he regards as a daughter!
“Assault on the Southern Horn” is the Longest Usarm adventure yet! 6 pages of adventure that answer questions and summon many new and possibly campaign shattering ones!
“Assault on the Southern Horn” is available in the typical Genius Loci landscape and as a traditional portrait .pdf file and I am currently working on getting a print version of the game up and ready!
