Animancer has had a busy day launching a suite of content for the D&D 5e one-shot adventure Vaz’kin’rai.
The dungeon-based adventure is designed for Animancer’s own setting but can be adapted for most fantasies. It begins with the PCs in a tavern – where they are attacked.
The publisher, known for The Corwyn Catacombs, describes some of the events in Vaz’kin’rai;
Along their journey they meet the salari, friendly telepathic salamanders, and eventually come to meet Keeper Mar’dir, a vor’tai monk of the Silver Staff, tasked with guarding an ancient shapeshifting menace. The standoff with Mar’dir forms the climax of the adventure, and allows the module to serve as a single night of play, the beginning of a campaign with psychic or astral themes, or a detour for an existing campaign that can still set up conflicts and intrigue in later sessions.
To bring this story to the tabletop, Animancer has made three downloads available. They are;
- Vaz’kin’rai – is the core one-shot with new Paragon creature.
- Enchiridion: Vaz’kin’rai – additional rules such as the very cute Salari character race, and Vor’tai
- Sonoria: Vaz’kin’rai – the free audio product of three loopable ambiences and five sound effects
Alternatively, a single discounted bundle holds all three.
The offering includes statblocks for two new creatures, four new magic items, five premade characters, hooks and aftermaths.
The “Keeper Mar’dir’s” creature uses Animancer’s Paragon Monster framework for legendary and solo enemy encounters.
