D20 Epic: Sword & Sorcery

Appointment in Zamora

Set in the Hyperborian Age of Conan the Barbarian, this is a low magic adventure with many levels of intrigue. In this setting there are no demi-humans – no elves, no dwarfs, etc. Player characters are all human, though from varying ethnic backgrounds

Set in the early Sixth Century world of post-Roman Britain, this adventure is a classic grail quest interwoven with something much darker and more ancient. King Arthur and Merlin are both off stage, but very much influences on the action. Player characters will likely be Britons, Welsh, Saxons or Romans. Again, there are no elves, no dwarfs.

Turing's Machine

At Bletchly Park outside war-torn London, Alan Turing and others have broken the Nazi's Enigma code, but they cannot understand the transmissions from an Afrika Corps battalion in the Libyan desert.

The mayor is trying to down play the danger, but things are getting seriously nasty underground.

Manifest Destiny

There's a shipping container full of dead bodies in the Port of New York, and the Inter-agency Task Force has been called in to solve the crime. Inter departmental rivalries collide, and the evidence is incomprehensible. And what the hell do the British secret service have to do with a coal mine in Pennsylvania

Pax Praecantrix
