Adventure - Murder In Darkengate (Patreon)

Content
Solve a murder mystery that leads from the gambling tables of a canalboat casino to the bloody sands of Darkengate Arena!
This is an adventure for players at Level 4 and Level 8. Alternative, beefed-up statblocks are included for key enemies, along with advice on how to restructure some encounters, so you should be able to run all of the combat scenarios for a higher or lower level party without much difficulty.
I have to say... I love this adventure. It has plot twists, false identities, a casino mini-game, rotting cult fanatics, secret villains, and a lot of noir detective themes. The idea was to create something that felt dark and gritty, with lots of morally grey characters and ethical dilemmas for the players. I ran the adventure for some friends last month, spreading it across three sessions, and the final arena battle was one of my favorite moments.
Sorry that this was delayed by a few days; trying to get it done while also dealing with the festive period and the wrap-up of my old job was a lot, but I'm really pleased with the results. Also, as of now, I am a full-time D&D creator, so expect...a lot of content coming down the line.
Happy new year!
