Once upon a time / on a late summer's eve / a tremor in the leaves of the Whippoorwill Wood…

What is it? 

An adventure module and micro-setting.  A kaleidoscopic treasure hunt through shifting forest lanes, gold-dappled meadows, violet glens, and miniature villages.   Race against fairy militias, mystical knights, woodland spirits, and the march of time itself on your quest for the fabled Wands of the Whippoorwill Wood.

This module was written for use with Cairn (by Yochai Gal, cairnrpg.com) and similar analog adventure games. Use it as the starting location for a new campaign, or as a quick stop in an ongoing one. 

What's included?

The 30-page booklet includes the following (and more!):

• A tri-crawl map with 10 keyed locations and surreal travel procedures
• 9 factions and rules for running rival treasure hunters
• Full bestiary, including 22 new creatures unique to this adventure
• The Bailiwick of Swallowtail, a tight-knit colony of fairy hamlets
