ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
One week ago, a group of Farmerlings found the entrance to a massive vault. Within are seeds of plants thought long extinct: ancient grains, juicy vegetables, and medicinal roots. Rumors of this discovery spread quick as wind, perking the ears of dealers and the damned. For those with the Molting, the vault may be their last hope, as the only known cure comes from an herb lost to time: the exuvino. Even if the vault does contain exuvino seeds, will the Farmerlings inside hand them over? Who else might be after this herb or other seeds within the vault?

ABOUT YOUR GAME MASTER
I've been playing TTRPGs for 8 years after stumbling my way through running the 5e starter set for my partner and her friend. Since then I've found a passion for discovering interesting systems and using them as an outlet for my love of storytelling. I usually run science fiction games because I am a massive scifi nerd, but I also enjoy running fantasy, cosmic horror, and just about anything else.
