Dragonbane is a roleplaying game harking back to an older age – albeit with a new, slicker layer of presentation. Released by the popular Swedish publisher Free League Publishing, Dragonbane (or Drakar och Demoner in its native language) is accompanied with a very generous Third-Party Licence, which allows fans all across the world to produce their own adventures and support material.
At present Unbound Publishing has released the following Dragonbane scenarios and settings via DrivethruRPG.
AVAILABLE FOR SALE NOW
Deep in the Krummer Mountains stands an old and broken tower. Known only as the Oldest Tower by the newly arrived locals to the Misty Vale, little do they know that it holds a dark secret that even now stirs to life once again…
INTO THE OLDEST TOWER is an introductory adventure for newer, likely younger, gamers – taking their early steps into the world of roleplaying and Dragonbane in particular – this scenario is very linear in structure and is designed to engage the players – as much as their characters – in decision making and acting out the consequences of their deeds.
Similar to other introductory scenarios, this adventure is made up of a number of pre-set encounters, most of which include an introductory text (which the Game Master may wish to paraphrase or read out directly), as well as the various challenges and threats the character may face within that location. That said, the Game Master is very much encouraged to alter and adapt this scenario’s plot and events as required to ensure the creation of an interesting and exciting adventure that everyone at your table can enjoy.

The village of Dunvale was once a thriving community of all good kin, but one night, many decades ago, the will of a powerful demon was unleashed upon the town. This demon’s influence swept throughout the town, turning good souls bad, and evil souls into nightmare. Overnight Dunvale was reduced to nothing more another empty ghost town so corrupted that even the region’s most chaotic kin refused to set foot in its ruins.
But the memory of all evil acts, no matter how terrible they might be, are destined to be lost to time, and recently a group of troublesome bandits have set up camp in what remains of the village. With these new arrivals, however, other, darker things have also awoken, and once more the demon of Dunvale stirs!
