Stonebeck is a fairly prosperous town situated at the fall line of the Silver River, but recent nights have been pierced by screams, with dead bodies revealed by the mists. Can you unravel the mystery before more die? rpg-trader.com/products/340...

“But what’s ‘revolutionary’ about that?” Because when you look past the generalizations and abstractions, you see how complex and nuanced the world is. You see the personhood in everyone. You see that diversity is truly the definition of strength and homogeneity is always a delusion.

Sneak peek of the next adventure I'm working on.

We want to encourage you to dig into the details. We want to make settings and adventures that provide useful examples. We want to create systems that make that easy to do.

It’s cultural specificity that makes a setting feel unique, even if the culture is made up. It’s the fact that every character has their own lives that makes the world feel real.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 27/05/2026

The core idea running through everything we do is the idea that it’s the details that make a tabletop roleplaying games fun. It’s the details that you can actually play with, much more than generalizations or abstractions.

As mentioned in the article, we gave this idea a test run in “The Shores of Stonebeck.” This is a further refinement, which we’ll be using in our next adventure, “The Valley of Wolves” — and many adventures to follow. bsky.app/profile/revo...

If you’re familiar with the works of Ursula K. Le Guin, you probably know that her books show sophisticated worldbuilding and understanding of linguistics.

We never promised a full play-by-post adventure, just a tour of the city.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

Thank you for joining us for this tour of Rekken!

"...to such blasphemers and heretics, no?" He grins wickedly. That's when you notice the axe at his belt.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

"...truth, but perhaps you are like the godless physicians and apothecaries who think that they can interfere against God's judgement. I am sure you will agree, that is impossible, but it would be a blasphemous sin to even try. We can prove our devotion to God by showing Him what we do..."

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

"Well, it's just ... you don't look like you're from around here is all," he stammers. "And it's hard to imagine why an outsider would come here as we suffer God's righteous judgment for our sins. Perhaps you are righteous followers of God, and if you are, then I shall testify to that..."

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

In Eikstad, you see a number of stacked oak barrels. You hear timbers creaking in old buildings. You pick up a lingering scent, earthy with a subtle sweetness. You notice a man watching you. A few blocks later, you see him again. He's following you.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

From here you can go to: 1. The North Docks 2. Eikstad 3. Doorn

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

In Esveld, you see another fumigating bonfire. You smell a thick cloud of incense as you pass by one of the apothecaries, and hear retching from an alleyway. You pass a corpse collector, ringing his bell, leading an old, gray stallion pulling a cart full of bodies.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

Public opinion will shape the fate of Rekken for better or worse. Will hate-mongers or corrupt fools sway the public to the ruin of all, or will you be able to convince the people that the only livable future lies in solidarity and mutual aid? In "Dance of Death," you'll have to play to find out.

The Public Opinion in Rekken sheet, showing a six-stage linear map across the top of the page, and then a grid that shows the eight districts of the city across the top and rows for each of the major opinions affecting the game (with space to add up to five of your own).

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

In "The Dance of Death," you’ll risk your life to enter a city under quarantine as a deadly disease rages to face environmental injustice and ignorant mobs and ultimately decide if you will restore the land or leave the city to its fate.

A spread of items that come with the adventure: a poster map of the city of Rekken with an inset map of the eight districts and how they connect to one another as a point crawl, and three pages of the adventure, including the first page, the page with the map of the city, and an internal page with two random tables in its right hand column.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

From here you can go to: 1. The South Docks 2. Esveld

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

The North Docks is a much wealthier neighborhood. You pass a shuttered mansion, but you can hear a servant singing from inside the next one. Everywhere you go, you can smell the vinegar that's used to scrub the stairs and cobblestones. You pass a servant in the middle of that work.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

From here, you can go to: 1. The North Docks 2. Doorn

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

In the South Docks, you see a bonfire built on a street corner, burning brimstone and aromatic herbs to fumigate the pestilential miasma. As you get further away from it, you can smell tar, rope, and wet wood. You hear someone weeping. You cross paths with a drunk stevedore.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

You are now inside the city walls. From here, you can go to: 1. The South Docks 2. Esveld 3. Eikstad

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

In Doorn, you see a depiction of hawthorn blossoms carved into the lintel of a door. You hear someone retching. You smell something sweet and floral, but then it gives way to the smell of rotting flesh. You pass a cat sitting perfectly still, intently watching something you cannot see.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

The guards at the Unicorn Gate reiterate the warning: the city is under quarantine until the Dance of Death has passed. You may enter, but you will not be permitted to leave until the pestilence has passed. You may well die in there. But if there are answers to be found, they lie within, so you go.

Revolutionary Games @revolutionarygames.co · 20/05/2026

From here you can: 1. Head back to Onderwal 2. Pass through the Seaside or Unicorn Gate into the district of Doorn. The guards will allow anyone who likes to enter the city, but no one can leave.
