Adventures[]
Dixon Hill and the Case of the Golden Serpent[]
- In the spirit of Raymond Chandler and dark, seamy movies like The Maltese Falcon, it features a tough anti-hero, beautiful femme fatales and a mystery only Dixon Hill can solve. A valuable artifact disappears, and the city's underworld tears the streets apart looking for it. Can Dix find it — and bring a murderer to justice — before it vanishes forever?
- The sun rose over the City by the Bay, cold and gray like a preacher's tombstone. Some people say San Francisco's beautiful; others who know better call her cruel. The streets can be hard on mornings like this, breaking hearts and souls with the smile of an angel. Ordinary joes do their best to get by, but somewhere out there, someone's dying for the price of a song. Tawdry little men chase their tawdry little dreams, hoping for an escape from the city's gray smile. I didn't know it when I crawled out of bed that morning, but one of those drams was about to kick me in the teeth.
- My name's Dixon Hill. The sign on my door reads "Investigations".
The Doom that Came to Korath[]
- The participant assumes the persona of Korvos, a distant heir to the throne of the mist-shrouded kingdom of Korath. Korvos was raised in a sunny and peaceful neighboring land, where he still resides as the action of the story opens. When he is unexpectedly called upon to assume Korath's throne, he returns for the first time to his haunted homeland, where he falls in love with a mysterious, veiled woman. Meanwhile, someone or something murders all who try to help him. To destroy the force of evil that hands over his land, Korvos must learn the secrets of his ancestors and understand the role his new love plays in them.
The Falcon's Gold[]
- The year, 1653. The place, the Spanish Main. The gallant Captain Beauregard and the crew of the feared pirate ship Atocha have plied these waters for years, taking prizes from Spanish galleons and fighting off the Spanish Navy. The vicious pirate captain Ironface poses the greatest threat. When Ironface tries to disrupt the exchange of a beautiful hostage for ransom, he sparks a chain of events which leads Captain Beauregard and his men on a quest not only for final revenge, but for a legendary, long-lost treasure.
Tigers of the Deep[]
- Demo adventure
- A Cold War sub epic... Fuller will investigate the disappearance of a number of ships in the Bermuda Triangle... The ships are being sunk by a group of pirates who've stolen a submarine, which they dock in an ancient, abandoned complex beneath the ocean floor: the still-airtight ruins of the legendary lost city of Atlantis. The pirates, led by the exotic temptress Señora Yma Árbol, will fight to protect their lucrative operation.
