Sixteen Sorrows: A Handbook of Calamities (d20)
Conjure Dire Woes for the Mightiest of Heroes
Within these sorrowful pages a GM will find sixteen calamitous types of circumstances to present to their players¸ each one designed to provide dire antagonists¸ friendly faces¸ nettlesome complications¸ flavorful macguffins¸ and matching adventure seeds for the busy GM. Rather than just being canned scenarios¸ the tools in this book are Sine Nomine-style content generators to help you build your own fresh afflictions. Trusty mainstays like bandit depredations¸ evil sorcerers¸ tyrannical lords¸ vile curses¸ and other staples of the game master's arts are invigorated and shaded by the tools in this book¸ giving a reader the fresh ideas they need to put a new gloss on old favorites.
While Sixteen Sorrows is written for the Godbound role-playing game of heroic demigods and designed to equip a GM with suitable challenges for those mighty exemplars¸ the tools in this book are built to be equally useful to GMs running more traditional fantasy games. So choose the manner of your destruction. Get Sixteen Sorrows¸ and unleash grief and lamentation on an unsuspecting world!
(Nota Bene: The print version of this book is listed as being a "color softcover"¸ even though the interior is black-and-white. I chose this format of printing because the color softcover books are negligibly more expensive to print¸ but have a higher quality of paper.)
