The Orcish Baker

[MatthewJHanson]

I'm currently doing an open beta-test for my new game, Abstract Dungeon. The main rules came with one sample adventure, but I figured we should have a little more, so we've put out another called "The Orcish Baker."

When an orc moved to Morvan's Hallow the neighbors got restless. When it opened a bakery they got confused. Convinced that it's part of an orcish invasion plot, a concerned citizen begs the heroes to get rid of the orc. But is this good Samaritan really worried about the public good, or is there an ulterior motive?

You can download the Orcish Baker for free from the Abstract Dungeon Page, or get is as part of the Abstract Dungeon playtest from RPGNow or DriveThruRPG.

Of course feedback is always welcome.

I cannot resist...

The Orcish Baker... is the prequel to Orc and Pie, I presume?

 

[Orius]

Bah, Umbran beat me to the Orc and Pie joke.

I was going to say that this baker needed to specialize in pie making.

 

[delericho]

No!!!

If we give an orc a pie, that's not a problem - they only eat today. But if we teach an orc to make pies... There will be no stopping them!

 

[SkidAce]

No!!!

If we give an orc a pie, that's not a problem - they only eat today. But if we teach an orc to make pies... There will be no stopping them!

Bravo, Bravo!

If we give an orc a pie, that's not a problem - they only eat today.

But, the original orc didn't eat the pie. He guarded it! Clearly, orcs do not like to eat pie, which is how you can tell they're evil!

 

[Dioltach]

So you're saying that as an Orc you can't have your pie and eat it?

 

[MatthewJHanson]

No!!!

If we give an orc a pie...

... he's going to want some milk.

The adventure is more of an homage to orc and pie than any kind of sequel/prequel/revamp. There's more of a story to it, though it's quite light-hearted.

 

[Umbran]

... he's going to want some milk.

...he's going to mash it into the kobold's face and laugh.
