Asobimasho #1: The Studio of Animental Evil
Details
About the Meetup
Asobimasho is a monthly Japanese pop-culture-inspired tabletop gaming group focusing on anime-inspired role-playing games, games from Japanese media, and real-life games played or popularized in Japan. We’re celebrating the launch of Asobimasho by starting with the fundamentals: a simple and light dungeon-crawl in D&D.
Game Description
Defying no tropes of tabletop gaming whatsoever, you all meet in a tavern. One of the regulars tells you about a nearby abandoned temple of Boccob, the God of Magic. There are rumors that strange, illusory creatures have been coming out of the temple and causing trouble in the town. The town's mayor is offering a considerable reward to any adventurer's willing to investigate the temple and drive back the strange creatures attacking the village...
The Studio of Animental Evil is a D&D 3.5 one-shot adventure designed for up to 6 players.
