A Quiet Midwinter: An Old School Heist with the Hallmarks of a Holiday Special

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $2.50

A very queer Holiday-themed fantasy heist adventure for Old School Essentials or your favorite BX clone (or other OSR games).

In the time of legends, when the gods, fey, and demons finished their war, they signed their peace treaty on Midwinter Night in the village of Quiet. Midwinter has been sacred throughout the known lands ever since, and Quiet’s Midwinter celebration is legendary. Once a year, on Midwinter Night, Vidah the Divine Seer receives a message from the demons of the gorge and the gods of the mountain, naming those of the mortal world who the gods and demons agree are the exceptionally virtuous and exceptionally wicked. Vidah brings the list, which everyone calls the “Naughty & Nice List,” to Quiet and gives it to the fey ambassador Archon Winter.

But this year, Vidah is missing, Archon Winter is drinking, and everyone in town is struggling to find the Midwinter Spirit. That means it's a perfect time to steal something, whether it's Archon Winter's gifts, the Divine Seer's missing list, the mayor's pre-signed requisition papers, or even just the town's spirits.

This heist adventure for low levels includes five locations, over a dozen NPCs, an airship pulled by flying wolfhounds, multiple townsfolk facing holiday crises, and even a lightly cursed treasure or two.

Inspired by holiday films with certain... Hallmarks.

A fun little adventure with a great cast of characters and beautiful maps! 5-stars!

(I'm a publisher on here as well, and we aren't able to leave actual star ratings or reviews on product.)

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.
