Song of the Nehmet (d20)
This is a fan-made fantasy adventure module for 5th edition or other d20-based roleplaying system. It contains 7 pre-made characters with unique skills and abilities¸ 7 custom bad guys with evil beasts of their own¸ the setting and storyline¸ plus all of the maps and floor plans of major buildings you will need to carry out all 3 acts of the story. It offers storyline arcs and options in exhaustive detail! It also has additional story ideas and maps if you want to stretch this adventure into a campaign.
The plot is laid out in 3 acts¸ with a starting point for each character. Events occur to generally push the players together¸ but this worked great with starting players¸ giving them a chance to learn their character's specific abilities and work out their motivations.
As characters come together and the story progresses¸ the book offers DM advice and potential solutions for different likely strategies character groups may attempt. It's a branching plot that will eventually push players toward a final throwdown with the big bad guys of the story.
It's a great dark fantasy adventure for a group of 3-7 players. I like to keep 1 of the characters for myself as an NPC to sort of guide the adventure. Had a great game with novice to experienced players. It can be a marathon session or split over a few nights.
It's important to note that each character is premade with a set of unique powers that don't usually come in any kit or class. They have strong bonuses¸ but also harsh weaknesses that make them very fun and interesting to play. For example¸ an archer with amazing called shot and critical shot bonuses¸ but arthritic hands that quickly become a detriment to fighting drawn out battles. Or¸ a beefy barbarian shapeshifter that can only shapeshift into cuddly creatures. Try to save the day with that!
I hope you enjoy!
