Thanks for following along! 

For play testing purposes, I thought it would be good to have an introductory module written up that I could use, as well as anyone wanting to play test the game as The Warden (or GM). From the introduction: 

Le Donjon en Ruine, or The Ruined Keep, is a one-shot point crawl style Quest written for Danse Macabre play testing which finds The Last Supplicant in Normandy, north-west France towards the end of the 14th Century. While searching for the mythical objects known as Memento Mori, the Supplicant hears rumors which lead them to the small village of Évry-sur-Orne, south of the ruins of Caen along the River L’Orne.

The Supplicant’s inquiries lead them further south along the river to the ruins of a nameless and long abandoned 12th century castle, whose an- cient, circular keep is all that remains standing. Until recently, the keep has been known to house a small band of vicious brigands and former foot soldiers who are rumored to have fled of late.

Strange sightings and otherworldly sounds have been reported by trav- elers and pilgrims brave or foolish enough to tread the wilds near the old keep. What now occupies the stone tower? And does it hold the power needed to bring Death back to this Abandoned World?

The module is designed to introduce both Supplicants and Wardens to the world and basic mechanics of Danse Macabre. It should be possible to run the entire module in one session and can easily adapted to fit as the beginning of a longer campaign. The module includes extra lore and world-building as well as historical context that opens up the possibility for exploring more of 14th century deathless France. 

Happy hunting!
