The Tombof
Black Sand
An Old School Table Top RPG Adventure
Deep in the forest plants and animals twist and crack and seem to fill with stars before they vanish, screaming into nothing. A tomb has appeared, and lumberjacks argue about its origin over drinks at the Red Squirrel Inn. Some say it's new, like a freshly grown cancerous lump; others say the twisting earth revealed an ancient trove of bone and unimaginable treasure. No one can agree, but townsfolk have begun to go missing, riders in black have been seen on the roads, and some say the candles are singing.
​
The Tomb of Black Sand is an adventure created for use with contemporary table top role playing games. Yet, deeply rooted in “old school” RPG design sensibilities. It can be used as a one-shot or as a hook filled location on the map that players can explore or ignore over the course of their adventures.
NOW A VTT MODULE
Swordfish Islands has teamed up with Limithron to create a premium virtual table top module for the Tomb of Black Sand.
