First Post
Blood of Dionysus is now available at RPGNOW. Monte Lin is an awesome writer who is able to convey a sense of more than just dice rolling in his adventures. There is a sense of history and depth present which is often lacking in other adventures. While there is a chance for ferocious (the Bacchanates are viscous) combat, most of the adventure will require teamwork and mental skills to solve and survive.
I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I have and I look forward to the next installment - Spider Asylum.
[Monte Lin is a freelance writer with a several publication credits; an adventure in Dungeon magazine issue #105, an article in Dragon magazine issue #323, and another article for Dragon awaiting approval. Monte also has written a d20 Future time travel supplement under consideration for Morrigan Press. His is also author for 93 Games Studio’s The Senseless another adventure for both D20 Modern and The Swing. ]
From the Introduction:
Warning:
Note and a warning: Any discussion of Dionysus and his followers must include topics such as intoxication, sexuality, and violence. This work neither condones nor condemns such behavior. If you or your group is sensitive to such subjects, consider shelving this adventure for another time. While the adventure is useable by excluding offensive scenes, censorship is antithetical to the Dionysian ideal.
Also, all concepts included in this adventure, Dionysian worship, Catholicism and Christianity, and Gnosticism, though based on research, is a work of fiction and is not meant to be representative of real world organizations and individuals.
"Blood of Dionysus" is a short adventure for both The Swing and D20 Modern role-playing games. An ancient jar filled with the divine wine of the Greek god of wine appears throughout the city, causing people to give into their basest impulses. The characters must track down the jar and somehow neutralize it before the city goes completely insane. However, a powerful wine patron believes the wine can cure his physical disabilities and stops at nothing to get that jar for
himself.
The adventure assumes the characters already possess a little bit of experience with supernatural occurrences as well as with physical danger. The adventure favors characters with connections with law enforcement, not only to obtain essential information, but because their opponents work in a dangerous and violent criminal underworld.
