Now, children have been taken from their very beds! Can your heroes save the village from the Scourge of the Rat-Men?


Adamant Entertainment's previously-announced product line, Venture 4th, is being expanded! Not only will the line offer printable game tiles for use in fantasy campaigns, but starting in July it will also feature adventures usable with 4E!

Scourge of the Rat-Men, the first adventure, will be released on Thursday, July 10th. This 4E adventure, for characters of 1st through 3rd level, will be available in print exclusively from our website for $19.95 (plus $5.95 shipping and handling). The adventure will also be released as a PDF -- with all purchasers of the print version receiving the PDF as part of their order.

As a special offer, Adamant Entertainment is offering a 20% discount for those who pre-order the print version of Scourge of the Rat-Men before its release. Pre-Order copies are available for $15.95 (plus $5.95 shipping and handling). Books will ship (and PDFs emailed) on July 10th.

Place your pre-order via the Adamant Entertainment website.

Way cool! Can't wait to have a look at the new line.

And since I don't expect an answer I won't ask the obvious question.

No logo shown, so probably not via the GSL. Can't wait to see what Adamant's doing.

Looking forward to play this in my new 4E campaign.

Looks great. Will there be a 3.5 OGL version as well or conversion notes?

Given the fact that this is likely done by copyright, it'll essentially be entirely systemless. I've looked at the Venture 4th Ice Flows pdf and the material in there is fairly systemless but easy to use as is for OGL/3.5e stuff.

Given the fact that this is stated explicitly to be a 4e adventure with specific level ranges I would be surprised if it was essentially entirely systemless. The Ice flows one was a dungeon tile type product, correct? This is stated to be an expansion upon that line to be 4e adventures.

Its possible it will be essentially systemless with just descriptions of monsters and traps and hazards and skill challenge info etc. and rely upon the easy monster (and other stuff) statting ability of 4e for DMs to come up with the numbers and stat blocks on their own, but we will see.

In any case that would not preclude d20 stats for the product.

Well, the Ice Flows one, for example, contained mechanics for moving across ice flows. These were for example, DC 15 to do this or DC 20 to do that. It's aimed at 3.5e/4e since the DC mechanic is part of both systems, and can likely be used for both, but at the same time I think it's generic enough that most systems can get a hang of the new mechanics and convert them easily enough.
