The Folio: Black Label series are fantasy adventure modules that are compatible with BOTH classic Advanced Dungeons & Dragons and 5th Edition D&D formats.  Each adventure combines what I enjoyed most from the heady days of of the late 1970s and the 1980s swords & sorcery storytelling. 

The Folio: Black Label #5 continues an adventure path pitting the characters against a demonic slaving nation bound to a cursed ruin called The Burning City.  In this adventure the characters will continue to try to retrieve a stolen noble before she is taken too deep into the demon insect infested 'ash lands' that surround The Burning City for hundreds of miles.  They must brave a slaver camp and then enter the old Temple of the Moon, a long abandoned religious structure that now houses demon insects, fell shaman, and wasteland raiders.

Taking a page from the previous Black Label Trilogy, this one is going to have an even more adult edge than can found in the standard Folio, and yes, there might be some nudity, and maybe some horror, and maybe a twisted quality here or there, but at the base its really just about the unfettered fun of hacking and slashing your way through a pulp style adventure with blatant evil doers, magical treasures, and exposed flesh.  

So, I'm throwing out the standard politically correct playbook, and turning the flux capacitor back to the early days of gaming.  I hope some of you will join me. 

Who is this adventure for?: It will be based around  classic AD&D gaming mechanics, while also have 'grey' stat and  treasure blocks for 5th Edition D&D,  so it is easily playable in  BOTH formats.  It has been designed for  6-8 characters, roughly 2nd  through 4th, and will include incredible maps and artwork that will get your creative juices flowing!   Just check out some of the maps below for what will be awaiting you.

What does the adventure Dagger, Venom, Throne revolve around? Well, this will be a standard swords & sorcery based adventure that deals with the lair you see above, located in the deadly 'ash lands'.  Characters will be required by an outside contract to return the daughter of a noble that fell victim to the roving slavers, bound for The Burning City.  The question will be, can the characters get in and out before the entire land rises up against them?

Is there any other background on the setting? Yes, we here at Art of the Genre produced a 544 page novel with attached setting gazetteer in the back.  If you like dark (and erotic) fully illustrated fantasy, then The Burning City will put you on the right path to fully enjoy the setting we are creating in this new adventure module trilogy.

What are all the other Folio products? The bulk of the Folio adventure series has  been in physical form and can be found at artofthegenre.com.   For the  purposes of some of the upper pledge levels, these previously  produced  adventures are offered.  Thus far, there  have been  26 Folio standard removable cover adventures, and 7 hardcover Folio books  (4 compile and reprint the Folio campaigns, and 2 are gaming supplements).

What are the 'Orange Spine' books?: These 'Complete' volumes include not only all the information from 6 Folio adventure modules, but also 6 or more 'mini-adventure' supplements  added for extra content, iconic character cards that are playable, and a  gazetteer supplement that defines the world the adventure takes place  in.   These compiled volumes include:

The Complete Roslof Keep Campaign (Folio #1-#6)

The Cities of Sorcery (Folio #8-#13)

The Complete White Ship (Folio #14-#19)

The Complete Curse of Roslof Keep (Folio #20-#25, which is a high level campaign)

Also included is the Storyteller's Arcana, a 128 page DM & Player guide of my own tips and experiences in 30 years of gaming, and the Folio of Fiendish Monsters with 115 new monsters.  ALL these books are in in both AD&D and 5th Edition D&D formats.
