[Review] Stolen Moments

A Stormbringer 4th Edition Scenario written by Nick Hagger (with Mark Morrison & Richard Watts), with art by Gustaf Bjorksten and Kon Heristanidis

It’s been a thousand years since the embattled Bright Empire clashed against the degenerate Dharzi. A millennium that has seen yet more change, conflict and the demise of the Melnibonean people. Today, the human race dominates the Young Kingdoms, feeling safe in their new roles as masters of the land and sea. Yet echoes of ancient times remain, lurking unseen at the edge of the known world, ready to show these upstart ‘rulers’ that the past can never be forgotten…

Stolen Moments is the fourth scenario from the brilliant Perils of the Young Kingdoms supplement released by Chaosium Inc. in 1991 (during the heyday of the 4th edition, and some might say the entire Stormbringer line). Written by Nick Hagger (with additions by Mark Morrison & Richard Watts) and art by Gustaf Bjorksten and Kon Heristanidis, it comes in at a solid 18 pages of action and discovery, which while at times feels slightly too linear, is in other ways an excellent example of what makes the Stormbringer setting so unique.

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).

Stolen Moments is recommended as a Must Run scenario.

[Review] The Fang and the Fountain

A Stormbringer 4th Edition Scenario written by Richard Watts

Upon a storm-wracked sliver of rock, lost for time immemorial in the chill waters of the Pale Sea, unholy blasphemies have been spawned. Driven by dream and prophecy, the heroes must embark on a mighty quest that will reveal not only madness and chaos, but the truth behind these mutant beasts and long-forgotten Dharzi magicks. Will they survive these terrors? Or are they destined to discover nothing more than a watery grave…

The Fang and the Fountain is a 15-page scenario written by Richard Watts, and appears as the third of five adventures in the Perils of the Young Kingdoms collection (released by Chaosium Inc in 1991 for Stormbringer 4th Edition).
