Time-travel often makes for fun, if confusing stories. I don’t see them too often in tabletop RPGs as they could require a lot of linear storytelling.

“The Sunken Village of Little Corth” is a level 2 adventure that sends the PCs back in time to thwart a time-traveling necromancer and fulfill a prophecy that they’re already a part of. The adventure includes lots of fun little ideas that tie the past and present together, but it’s a densely packed read and requires the PCs to work in perfect sequence with the DM.

After a nasty cliffside fight with a group of pterafolk, the party was faced with dilemma: half of their own were captured and stuck inside the nest, hundreds of feet above the jungle. Cue the not-so-stealthy rescue attempt!

Using famous fables, stories, and characters within D&D, or any tabletop RPG, provides a fun shared cultural touchstone for your players. I would love to see more adventures that blatantly ripped off famous stories in fantastical ways, like defending a poor village against a tyrannical local lord (Seven Samurai/Magnificent Seven), evading a relentlessly powerful enemy (Predator/Terminator/Alien), or shepherding a young person across a dangerous world (The Last of Us/Logan/Children of Men).

“The Wizard of Zo” takes one of the most famous stories of the twentieth century and it applies it to a standard D&D mini-adventure, perfectly set within the jungles of Chult. It’s a Tier 2 adventure, designed for 5-10th level, with an estimated play time between five and ten hours. It doesn’t try and retell The Wizard of Oz, instead cleverly pulling ideas and characters into a detailed cast and a fun dungeon design.

A much needed long rest brings a well-deserved level up. The heroes reach level 4 and receive free healing at Camp Vengeance, but there’s a cost to sticking around – the undead Rygor is hellbent on razing the fort and killing everyone inside.

It had been several sessions and many harrowing encounters since the party last Long Rested. Our campaign rules state that resting overnight in the jungle confers only a Short Rest, turning the entire jungle into one big hex-grid dungeon crawl.

My players were feeling the strain, and hoped to find shelter wherever the Order of the Gauntlet had retreated to from Camp Righteous. They found it upriver in Camp Vengeance, a wooden fortress with 12-ft high walls, sharpened spikes, and a 20-ft deep pit encircling it all. But Camp Vengeance was anything but safe.
