Written by Gabriel Ramos and published by Wonder Twin Harmony. I drew all the illustrations, designed the title, provided consultation on the layout design, and died during the first playtest. Secret Vault of Windswept Island was 1380% funded on Kickstarter during Zine Quest 24, reaching our goal in the first 14 hours.
A deadly adventure for characters level 1-3 with a unique mechanic for handling death that keeps players engaged and contributing to the adventure throughout the session. No need to roll up a new character mid-adventure. A character’s final clumsy misstep or heroic sacrifice could ultimately save their trapped companions (and themselves) from a collective dismal end.
Designed for use with Old-School Essentials, but readily compatible with other OSR and popular modern fantasy RPG rule systems. As such, the zine has an emphasis on clarity and easy reference throughout to keep you focused on rolling dice and telling a fantastic story with your players.
