The second installment of our One Shot Adventures line of scenarios will be up for sale very soon at DriveThruRPG and RPGNow. This scenario is a Sci-Fi adventure set in the distant future in a galaxy not unlike our own. The characters are members of a crew of the independent freighter Easy Money. Hired to deliver an expensive cargo to a mining colony, they are knocked out of hyperspace right into the middle of a planetary siege in an uncharted star system. Things heat up as their ship takes some heavy damage that forces them to land on the beleaguered planet for repairs, only to be coerced into assisting the alien populace in saving their world.

Like all One Shot Adventures, Supernova offers ten pre-generated character templates for players to choose from. The lite rules system is simple, and easy to learn, and teach to new players. You can use Supernova to teach new players about role playing, or as a quick and simple adventure for your regular players when you are between campaigns, or when some of them can’t make it for game night, and you don’t want to leave their characters behind.

Supernova will hopefully be available for download before Christmas, so keep an eye out for future announcements here!!!

Keck Publishing announces the upcoming release of its very first PDF product, One Shot Adventures! One Shot Adventures are scenarios set in various genres and use a quick and simple dice mechanic that can be learned in a flash. Each adventure comes with a number of pre-generated character templates that players may choose from that will get them playing almost immediately. Of course, if you’re an experienced role player and aren’t happy with the characters presented, the lite rules include a complete character generation system that allows you to build the character of your choice within five minutes or less!

One Shot Adventures is intended to help get new players involved in the role playing hobby by introducing them to the simple rules and role playing concepts that are a basis for most any other role playing game on the market. They are also intended to be a fun mini-adventure for established role players to use when one or two members of your group have to miss a session, or your group is ‘between’ games. A quick study of the adventure outline will familiarize the Game Master in a matter of minutes, so the game can begin almost instantly.

The first installment of One Shot Adventures is Days of Knights, a simple fantasy role playing adventure pitting the player characters against a wicked king and his evil sorcerer. The characters must brave the perils set before them to defeat an ancient dragon summoned by the evil wizard Elemsor the Malignant to rescue the beautiful Princess Calliope from the clutches of King Tambor. Typical fantasy fun and adventure!

Days of Knights is available for download at a reasonable price of $8.50 at DriveThruRPG and RPGNow Today!

Welcome to Keck Publishing’s new front portal! My old website was looking a bit drab to me, so I decided to spice things up a bit. I wanted to make things a bit easier to find and snazzier to look at. Hope you like it!
