Our latest release for Stara Szkola is a semi-sandbox mystery, roughly in the ballpark of Weird Fiction investigation games. The mystery is tied to the mysterious appearance of four dangerous magical grimoires in a somewhat remote area. This book is one adventure, with a structure designed to be loose and flexible, (semi-sandbox) focused on investigation, diplomacy, magic, and combat, in roughly that order.
An Investigator’s Fire-Brigade, this mystery-solving adventure is designed as an episodic series of investigations, based on the recovery of four dangerous grimoires. The players are hired by the rector of a university to investigate the disappearance of the books, recover them if possible, and deal with the aftermath of the possible misuse of the magic they contain, while containing any possible death and mayhem, and more importantly, doing so discretely while preventing scandal.
