Résumé du livre
WARNING: THIS ADVENTURE MAY KILL YOU!
In the distant future of the Fifth Age, Earth lies shattered. A great cataclysm has toppled the civilizations of the Fourth Age, leaving only ruins, waste, and memories. Emerging from the destruction is a planet born anew, where giants, mutants, and odd creatures from a multitude of worlds clash in an attempt to claim the Earth as their own.
The Broken Road is an epic campaign module that first came to life at Gary Con XIV-XVI and EGG Con I & II in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin-the birthplace of role-playing games. Run by veteran game masters James M. Ward and Penny Williams, this adventure now comes to your table, bringing the same thrills and dangers faced by its first players.
Journey Into the Fifth Age
Three thousand winters after the great cataclysm, the old world is gone. Cities crumbled. Technologies failed. From the ruins emerged a strange new Earth where ancient powers flow through Ley lines, giants walk among settlements, and humanity must forge new alliances or perish. The Broken Road stretches across what once was the American Midwest. Now it is New Ohio, a land of steaming jungles, inland seas, mutant predators, and settlements built on the bones of forgotten civilizations. Along these fractured highways lurk deadly mutants, forgotten relics, and powers beyond imagination.
On the Broken Road, adventurers will test their strength, wits, and courage against the twisted wilderness of the reborn Earth. Along these shattered highways lurk deadly mutants, forgotten relics, and powers beyond imagination. Will you uncover the secrets of the Fifth Age and save the village of Mot? Or will you fall to the endless perils of the Broken Road, a path long proven deadly?An Adventure for Any Experience LevelThis complete adventure module is designed for beginning players using the GiantLands First Edition roleplaying game.
