The signal
The panels creak beneath your heavy boots. Your light reveal piles upon piles of twisted wreckage. Cold, humid air seeps into your suit: your heating unit does not provide protection from the mighty curse lingering through the hollow corridors of the SILENT SIREN.
Are they really empty though?
What is Cradle of Corruption?
It is a community adventure created by insert usernames here for ICRPG 2E. As such, you will need the Core rules to explore the desecrated corridors of the missionary ship.
Beware that this is a horrific science-fiction adventure with some religious themes in it. Nothing outright offensive toward religion, but if it isn’t your cup of tea… well now you know!
It was made by a bunch of funny people for the purpose of fun, and we hope that you will enjoy it!
May you roll fun!
The premise
The Silent Siren is not the true name of the ship, it was once called the OUTREACH. It was a missionary ship from another galaxy that picked up something disturbing on its trip here.
By the time it arrived to the OUTER RING, no life signs could be scanned from it and a faint signal could be heard on all deep frequencies throughought the galaxy. And while the Outer ring is usually outside the jurisdiction of any professional space fleet, a force was sent to investigate the worrisome noises, and you, HEROES, were called in as specialist contractors…
You may begin to understand why the Outreach was called the Silent Siren by the locals…
What to do to help?
Comment! Tell me you want to join in on the project!
We’re using the story architecture chart from page 82 based on the snippet setup and premise. A lot is left to the imagination so everybody can collaborate, which is kind of the point of a community adventure!
Tell me which blob you want to generate, first come, first serve, and then get to work! You have two weeks to complete your assignment, starting the moment you get confirmation for your role in the community adventure!
The one-word theme of this adventure is: CORRUPTION.
What do we need?
We? Those of us who will participate in the creation of the community adventure!
For your part to be considered complete, we’ll need you to give us:
- An encounter archetype for the blob you picked
- Treats, threats, and timers (Pages 85-86)
- The 3Ds (Pages 87-88)
- A descriptive snippet of your blob
- “Stat blocks” for loot and monsters
- And at least one random table
You can obviously elaborate and provide us with more, but remember to create only if you’re having fun!
Running the game?
Cradle of Corruption will obviously be available to the public, but to achieve our goal the adventure must at least be played once. I promise to open up a couple of tables to run the adventure, and I invite collaborators to do the same when the project is complete!
