A One-Shot Adventure
Compatible with Most Fantasy RPG systems

Hello and welcome, adventurers and Game Masters!

I am pleased to announce the release of "The Purloined Pachyderm".  This is a brand new one-shot adventure, compatible with OSRIC/1E, 2E, and most fantasy RPG systems. In this adventure your players will be tasked with helping a travelling circus owner, who will quest them with rescuing his prized attraction, a wondrous pachyderm! It is recommended for 4-6 player characters of levels 2 to 4. 

Synopsis: In this adventure your players will meet and help the ringmaster of the “Faire Fantastic”, a charismatic young man named Wyatt FerrisWyatt needs the players’ help because the prize attraction of his faire, a rare and exotic elephant named Nellie, has been stolen by a dastardly mage named Rickard Gees. The man tried to force Wyatt to sell Nellie to him but Wyatt repeatedly refused the offer, as the evil mage told him he intended to kill the glorious beast and use the body for spell components and its head as a trophy! Rejected, the mage stormed off but returned later in the evening, and when Gees left again the faire's famous elephant had vanished! Now Wyatt needs the party’s help to rescue his prized pachyderm, preferably before the next night’s show!

Can you save the Faire Fantastic?

2022 Revision: In response to some reader feedback I rebuilt the main PDF from the ground up, and I have updated this product as follows:

  1. I am including a 5E Conversion Kit that has info on all of the standard and new foes, as well as the trap present in this adventure; and
  2. I have added section bookmarks to both of the PDFs.

PLUS with this purchase you also get a free copy of my latest Starry Knight Press Catalog, which has information on all of my modules and supplements, as well as maps of the known portions of my campaign world of Terrans, and bonus content (new monsters and magic items) from my published books!

Note: I specifically designed and wrote this adventure for inclusion in the charity sale, “The Adventures of Wyatt”; this was available exclusively through DriveThruRPG in Nov. 2017. I donated this module and two others to this appeal. It was meant to honour fellow gamer Wyatt Ferris, whose young life tragically ended far too soon due to self-harm. All proceeds of that appeal were donated to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in Wyatt's memory! If you or someone you know is in crisis, please reach out ti them at 1-800-273-TALK (8255). This book is part of the continuing #PlayForWyatt Movement, where Game Masters (like me) continue to pay tribute to Wyatt by including him in our adventures and allowing him to live on within the fantasy worlds we create, which he so loved to play in!

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.
