It is March of 1941. Nazi bombs savage the streets of London, and no night goes by without an air-raid siren. To protect them from this horror, six children are evacuated to the remote Cornish village of Morvah, where the government and their parents believe they will be safe. But darkness lurks even in the peaceful countryside of Britain. This game is intended as a high-roleplaying genre crossover between classic British childrens fantasy (Nesbit, Eager, Lewis, Streatfeild, etc ) and Call of Cthulhu, with the tone of the recent Doctor Who series. While the characters are young teenagers, this is not a light-hearted or comic module; expect horror, insanity, and possible death. No previous knowledge of Cthulhu, WWII, Cornwall, Nesbit, Boy Scouting, or Girl Guiding is necessary, although all will be welcome.

The Weeping Woman cries for the sorrows of the world and provides miraculous blessings to ease the world's pain. A pilgrimage to one of her holy sites can bring blessings that no mortal magic could supply. Now, a band of pilgrims and their protectors set forth across the Border Kingdoms, perilously near the Shadowlands themselves, in the hopes that their show of devotion will be rewarded--even as foul powers plot to destroy them with the aid of a traitor in their midst.
Hundreds of years ago, a dwarven colony set out to build mines for precious metals deep in the Underdark. After only a few decades, other denizens of the Underdark cut off the routes that allowed the colony to deliver their goods back to their home kingdom. Now, as terrible eldritch foes make those metals even more valuable, an Underdark calamity has cleared out most of the path between the kingdom and its lost colony. The dwarven king has dispatched your group to re-establish a connection to the lost colony and get its vital mines working again.

An adventure by Jonathan Fox. Set in Shadow of Etrophia: The Shattered Empire.
Description:
The remote, and normally quiet, village of Hamsworth has been having some difficulties lately: mysterious noises in the dark of the night and a few sheep torn apart at the edge of the pasture. While the baron has his concerns, it doesn't really warrant the dispatch of his most decorated knights. Instead he's chosen to send you, Sir Alrin the recently knighted, and your friends. You are to quiet down the frightened villagers and deal with the wolf or bear or whatever that's been attacking the sheep. What is causing the disturbance is no matter, so long as the tribute of wool arrives on time.
Solve a fantasy mystery in this adventure by Reynolds C. Jones.
Description:
Within the Magocratic Empire of Purdun, in the south of the Continent of Khamista, horrible things are suddenly happening. The Blue Council, which has long been the principal seat of power under the Emperor, has been ripped apart by an unprecedented and unexpected attack of evil powers. The Yellow Council, usually the minority power and mostly consisting of bureaucrats and artisans, strains to maintain calm in the cities. There is also upheaval in the Great Academy, where many of the greatest mages in the nation teach, study, and are themselves trained. Evil forces have descended on the campus and seek to seize the ancient magical artifacts from the armory. Only one school, the School of the Elements, has so far been undisturbed by the collapse of a government that lasted a thousand years. The School's leadership has assigned you to save the artifacts at any cost.
