A Stormbringer 4th Edition Scenario written by Nick Hagger, with art by Gustaf Bjorksten

Lost at the edge of the Eastern Desert, where the remains of a fallen god lie dormant, the champions of Mistress Fate are drawn to the Unholy Fortress. Trapped between the madness of a long dead deity and a ravening horde of crazed nomads, the characters must ally themselves with the fortress’ inhabitants (and a band of untrustworthy Pan-Tangian pirates) to ensure an evil worse than nightmare is stopped before it can be unleashed upon the Young Kingdoms!

The Unholy Fortress is a 22-page scenario written by Nick Hagger, and appears as the third (of four) scenarios in the Sea Kings of the Purple Towns  collection (released by Chaosium Inc in 1992 for Stormbringer 4th Edition).

Please note, as with all such scenario reviews on the Stormbringerrpg.com site, these commentaries are the opinion of their author only, and are rated in three simple categories – Must Run, Should Run, Might Run (see the sidebar below for more information on these ratings).

The Unholy Fortress is recommended as a Must Run scenario.

A Scenario for the Stormbringer 5th Edition ruleset by Richard Watts

Just what do Calisander Trammel, the limping man and Baron Zamoro of Old Hrolmar have in common? All is revealed in this exciting adventure by Richard Watts.

Now updated and revised, Calisander: A Tale from Old Hrolmar is an adventure designed to introduce novice and experienced adventurers alike to the Vilmirian city of Old Hrolmar and bring to life its diverse assortment of residents. So please join us in this exciting adventure that begins simple enough but quickly escalates into a race against time, where failure to succeed might well signal the destruction of the Young Kingdom’s greatest bastion of change!

As quoted from author – “Calisander was first run as a tournament at the gaming convention Conquest in Melbourne, Australia in 1992. This expanded version is written in such a way that Gamemasters can include the adventure into any Stormbringer campaign, and  where desired, expand upon the plot so as to develop it into the opening chapter of a longer campaign.”
