Shepherd’s Bane

A werewolf roams the foggy reaches of Sterling Moor and the village of Harroch is at its mercy. Tonight is the night of the full moon. Can you protect the people of Harroch from the monster’s wrath? Or will you too succumb to the teeth and claws of the Shepherd’s Bane? 

Shepherd’s Bane is a freeform adventure that is centered around on the village of Harroch, which lies in the bleak hills and bogs of Sterling Moor. Dark forces beset the village. The trouble started with the arrival of a group of wandering entertainers known as the Calatoré, one of whom was a werewolf. A fight occurred and the werewolf was driven off, but not before it infected the village priest and the many of the villagers with its disease. The village’s women and children know that something is wrong with their sons and husbands, but they believe they are just overwhelmed by the search for the werewolf that still prowls the moors.

Shepherd’s Bane, available in both 5e and OSR for characters of levels 1st to 3rd, takes our heroes from the fog shrouded Sterling Moor into the village of Harroch as they face off against a danger that stalks the night and takes the unwary or unlucky. That there is a werewolf on the hunt is obvious, but who is the fiend? Is it the desolate warden Bostwick? Traveling teller of fortunes Katya? Perhaps the wolf hunter Smythe? It could be you. It could be me. Whoever it is they must be stopped and Father Wilhelm has a plan, a plan that involves a tall wooden stake and a lit torch.

Overseas Shipping

For the last several months, as those of you who follow us on Discord know, we have been grappling with the issue of high costs on shipping to locations outside the USA. We decided that the most cost-effective way for our overseas customers to get their books is by using the print-on-demand format. 

The print-on-demand books that international customers receive are high quality, but please be aware that they are printed differently than books in the USA. (USA books are saddled stitched.)

We have tremendous love and respect for our international customers, and this is the most efficient method we have found to provide you with books at a reasonable price with reliable delivery times.
