A Casting the Runes Scenario written by Marcus D. Bone

Just a Little Knowledge is a scenario outline written to act as an introductory adventure for the Casting of the Runes roleplaying game. Designed to bring together a small group of investigators, it exposes them to the world of the supernatural and occult horror that lies hidden just beneath the surface of polite Edwardian society.

Set during the bleak autumn of 1908, the characters are about to be drawn into a mystery involving a book, a Cathedral and the sins of the church. Here they will uncover a secret buried for centuries that now released threatens dozens, if not hundreds, of innocent lives if not returned. So, are your Investigators brave enough to discover Just a Little Knowledge?

Inspired by the recent publication of Linden’s The Marshwood Vampire adventure and my own reviews of Casting the Runes publications, this scenario is hopefully the first of many for this great game I will release here.

Centuries have passed and yet still the traitors of an ancient King are forced replay their betrayal and death each Sunday evening. But will the death of their torturer bring an end to their suffering, or will lit lead to more death?

In For Whom the Bell Tolls, the characters’ Cabal is thrown into a mystery of forgotten rites, misguided desires, and a secret cult hellbent on dominating the Hidden World for their own personal gain!

Written in a outline format, rather than a complete scenario, this adventure was originally written for a gaming convention that was cancelled due to a Covid lockdown, and has been reviewed and expanded here. Note that while it was designed for three specific pre-generated characters – a private detective (a Tough), a necromancer (a Magician) and a Determined, additional party members can be added with ease.

IMPORTANT! THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT A COMPLETE ADVENTURE!
Rather it is an outline providing the main plot, core NPCs and the major events for a Game Master to create their own Liminal scenario based on the presented premise. Most of the ‘connective tissue’ required to turn this outline into a playable adventure is left to you, dear reader, to create.
