Advent of Dungeons 2024: Day 15 – FLYING COW

The Advent of Dungeons continues. Ironically, I am procrastinating on preparing for my actual game by working on this. Go figure.

My Day 15 Content

Today’s prompt is FLYING COW. This reminds me of “Ghost Riders in the Sky“, a western song about devil cows being chased by ghost cowboys. It’s not really the sort of music I would listen to, but we played it at football games in high school marching band.

Let’s write an adventure about that.

Quest: An airship crashes outside of town having been seemingly bashed around and out of control.

Scene 1: Upon investigation, the crew is mostly dead, but a half-crazed sailor is locked in a storage room.

Scene 2: The party hears of a series of disasters that are timed with the sounds of a stampede and whooping

Scene 3: The party needs to employ an airship crew to follow the trail.

Scene 4: The party needs to help ghost cowboys control and herd around flying, devil cows

Scene 5: When the flying, devil cows are brought under control, a ghost cowboy provides them with a magical lasso.

So what’s Day 16?

Tomorrow’s prompt is CAPTAIN’S ORDERS.

Advent of Dungeons 2024 So Far

Elsewhere in Daggerheart

Mike Underwood, one of the writers for Daggerheart, wrote an unofficial blog post on “Made-to-Measure adventure design for Daggerheart“. In short, he’s proposing that pre-written adventures prescribe roles for players to create characters around.

I personally love the idea and am curious how this influences the upcoming content.
