Open Design 4: Arabian Nights
While Empire of the Ghouls big and fun, writing it took too long. It also grew a little larger than the patron format really supports. The Arabian Nights project was be much, much shorter and faster than Empire was. The final 94-page, full-color module was delivered to the patrons on January 31st, 2008.
The Six Arabian Nights
This short adventure anthology is adaptable for low to mid levels (roughly 5 to 10). The style is episodic, with six short pieces chosen by the patrons that could be one-shots in any campaign, very plug-and-play. The winning themes have been chosen, and are:
- The Blood Oasis: Ghuls have been doing some nasty, nasty things out at the oasis. By Jeff Grubb, author of TSR's Arabian Adventures book.
- Bottled Desire: A bit of romance and chase through a crowded market from David "Zeb" Cook, the designer of Planescape and the 2nd Edition books.
- Cult of the Howling God: Cultists, assassins, and corruption. Classic pulp adventure.
- The Gravebinder's Daughter: A one-night trek through a huge necropolis full of secrets
- The Sand Pirates: Nautical action on a flying ship, with new monsters and a half-efreet captain
- Wishbound: A corrupted genie seeks redemption, with a small twist to the ending.
Availability: This project is closed and no longer available to the public, though patrons of the current Open Design project can obtain a copy.
