I’ve been in a bit of a spooky mood recently, thanks to Resident Evil 8 and Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft coming out, not to mention the Ravenloft campaign Courtney is currently running us through. I’ve always been a big fan of creepy, atmospheric horror settings, so for this month’s Side Quest I’ve created a …

I want to try something a little different with today’s free dungeon encounter. Normally, I write up a little narrative to explain the “why’s” and “how’s” of some maps, like with Bertie Bigglesby or Spellzog’s. Instead, this buried archive space is designed so that it can be inserted into an existing D&D dungeon without much …

One of my goals when starting Lightheart Adventures was to diversify my TTRPG knowledge by experimenting with other systems. My familiarity lay mostly with D&D and Malifaux: Through the Breach, but neither had the kind of gritty, bleak feel that I’d seen in other games. That all changed when I read through Zweihander a few …
Malifaux is a pretty scary place, and that’s just in the city! Untold horrors lie in wait beyond the walls of civilization — out in the Badlands, the forests of the Knotwoods, and deep in the Bayou. Even well-versed Earthside wilderness guides fall prey to maneater plants or enraged Nephilim. There’s a huge opportunity …

It’s the first Side Quest of the new year! What better way to spend it than by taking a rat-clearing job from an elderly gnome? It’s a tried and true trope of many games to have entry-level adventurers fight vermin in someone’s basement, and I wanted to add my own spin. Plus, this map …

Do you keep a dream journal? I tend to keep my note app ready for the random chance I’m struck by inspiration past midnight. Recently I woke up one night, wrote three words in my app, and promptly fell back asleep. The next morning I opened my app and found “Spellzog’s danger emporium”. I …

Hi-diddly-ho, adventurinos! I felt inspired this week to do a short d&d one-shot Side Quest focusing on oozes and alternate dimensions that can be wrapped up in a short-and-sweet evening session! This one might make germophobic characters a little squeamish, so make sure your players are cool with swimming around in filth and ooze. …
Happy Halloween! While we’re a few days away from Halloween proper, I felt it was time to dive back into the spooky TTRPG Malifaux: Through the Breach! This month’s Side Quest is an exploration-focused romp through a extra-dimensional library, complete with plenty of traps and challenges. I love the mystique surrounding libraries big and small, and …

Jungles can be treacherous for the unwary, as many monsters and other denizens lurk deep in the shadows. Jungle encounter ideas are plentiful within the dark woods — each offering different challenges for the adventurers. While we’re riding high off of learning about encounters in TTRPGs, let’s put some of that advice into practice. Today, we’re …
