Revenge of the Pale Master (5E)

Published: 2016 by Storm Bunny Studios
Author: Mike Myler

A 5th Edition OGL adventure for four to six PCs of 8th-10th level set in the Mists of Akuma campaign setting.

Revenge of the Pale Master plunges the adventurers into the rusted heart of the industrial city of Kizaki on the eve of a great evil’s reawakening. At its heart lies a mystery, and GMs running this module are encouraged to build tension and an aura of danger as the PCs uncover the secret history that casts a long shadow upon the future of this settlement in Gekido Prefecture. Part of the adventure’s tension is based upon the ticking clock—the party arrives as night falls on the eve before the Festival of Falling Hawks, giving them less than 24 hours to uncover the truth and take action against those they believe to be the villains of the story.

What's inside Revenge of the Pale Master:

  • The story of the Pale Master and his most recent machinations in the eastern fantasy noir steampunk lands of Soburin
  • The continental map of Soburin by Michael McCarthy
  • Information about Gekido Prefecture where the adventure takes place
  • Rules for the dangerous Mists of Akuma and the new misted condition, as well as the Haitoku and Dignity attributes
  • Dozens of NPCs and oni that play a part in the adventure (as well as several that don't so the GM can insert their own stories and subplots)
  • Lots and lots of maps: the city of Kizaki, the Oyami Tea House, Graveyard of the Damned, and more
