Claws of the Yule

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Stalwart Heroes find themselves caught between a ferocious blizzard and Icelandic legend when they gallantly aid a young woman in getting home before the storm hits. But winter’s fury is as nothing compared to the legend that becomes all too real — one that’s determined to kill the young lady and her family, despite the efforts of the PCs to stop it.

Claws of the Yule is a short holiday adventure for Under Western Skies: Twilight Trails and other 2D6 games such as Cepheus Engine and the Original Science Fiction Roleplaying Game (OSFRPG.)

Is this flexible enough to be adapted to regular D&D as an adventure framework? I understand it's to support a custom system, but I'll not have time to learn a new one in a week, and am looking to run some things over the holidays with family.

Sure, flexibility here is the key. It's one reason I kept any description light, to allow the Referee (or GM) to add or subtract at will. Most of it is just a matter of reskinning the adventure to fit a fantasy milieu (replacing the guns with swords and archery equipment, for instance.) You might have to find a substitute for the creature to better reflect your party's abilities and the higher presence of magic -- I recommend the D20 SRD (d20srd.org). In cases where conversion of stats matter, multiplying the 2D6 character stats in Claws of the Yule by 1.5 gives an equivalent in 3D6. Happy gaming, and happy holidays!

Thanks for the prompt and informative response! I was actually looking for something a little lower magic, and something non-fantasy-centric for a change of pace, as I hope to run a few different games over the holidays. So, from the sounds of it, it should be fairly workable. I'll add it to my cart for pickup in the next day or two once I've got my holiday plans solidified. Thanks again!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
