Poll #314 - Uncommon Adventures... Pick a Theme! (Patreon)

I know this is going to sound absolutely insane, but I'm actually super far ahead on writing books for Helkara right now. Here's the current status:

• HELK1 - Campaign Sourcebook - Proofed onto Formatting
• HELK2 - Campaign Guidebook - Drafted and in Proofing
• HELK3 - Player's Companion - 75% Drafted
• HELK4 - Monster Book - 75% Drafted, waiting on art

Pretty wild, considering that I started developing Helkara on January 25th of this year. I've already got roughly 256 pages worth of content and a mountain of art made for it.

Uncommon Adventures

So while I'm waiting on our team to catch up, I figured I'd knock out a quickie non-fantasy adventure setting using roughly this same format with some OSR-style rules. I've got a few ideas, but I'm interested to see what you want. These are meant to be self-contained adventures but will also have some light campaign play, too. And heck.. if it's popular, I'll expand on it.

The name for this line of smaller RPG games will be Uncommon Adventures. I have used ChatGPT to come up with some weird ideas, and, well... it delivered. LOL
