A New Kind of Adventure
Adventure Keepers
One file. A whole night of play. An Adventure Keeper is a complete adventure sealed into a single document — the art, the words you read aloud, the maps, the monsters, the secrets — ready to open in any browser and run at the table tonight.
Not a PDF you skim. An adventure you run.
Most one-shots hand you twenty pages and wish you luck. An Adventure Keeper does the prep with you. Every scene is laid out the way you'll actually play it: the read-aloud box ready to speak, the original art already on the screen, the villain's true motive a click away, the battle map built right in, and the whole thing tuned to scale from a first-level party to a tenth.
It's self-contained — one file, no account, no app, no internet once it's saved. Open it on a laptop at the table or print the included PDF and run it from paper. It's yours to keep, forever. Thirty years behind the screen, poured into a document built to make your next session the one they remember.
Original art
Every scene carries its own commissioned-style illustration. Set the mood without a word.
Read-aloud, ready
The boxed text is written to be spoken. Open the scene, read it, watch the table lean in.
Battle maps built in
The map you need is already in the file — no hunting, no extra downloads.
NPC & villain dossiers
Every key figure comes with a want, a wound, and the line they will and won't cross.
Scales to your table
Tuned for levels 1–10 and parties of 3–6. Pick your row and run it tonight.
Print-ready PDF

Grounded sea-horror · a one-shot
The Keeper of Halcyon Light
A lighthouse keeper has tended the same lamp for sixty-three years — and not aged a day. Beneath his rock sleep ninety drowned souls, and the light that keeps them dreaming is the same light that lures fresh ships onto the stones. He has run the arithmetic for a lifetime, and he is tired. When your party rows out, the horror isn't the thing under the water. It's the choice he hands you — the one with no clean answer. The win here is a decision, not a kill.

Quiet, then wrong · a one-shot
The Seventh Rune
Seven old wards under a ruined keep have kept a grieving man's dead family asleep for forty years. One ward just broke — and he is so tired. What starts as a rescue turns into a confession, and the deeper the party digs, the clearer it gets: you can't out-fight the Sealer. You can only give him permission to stop. The win here is mercy, not a kill.
