the compass was drawn by a liar’s tongue true north shifts like a trickster’s illusion as bodies stray into the fog

a little luck can go a long away some might even say you are the chosen when the bard his fiddle and pride were the only ones left unscathed on his highstool after the tavern collapsed upon itself in all the mad merrymaking

Pandora’s Pond

Deep in an uncharted forest lies Pandora’s Pond, a mirror-still body of water that should not exist. Legends whisper of those who gaze into its depths—some vanish, some are changed, and some awaken forces best left undisturbed.

You are wanderers, drawn by curiosity, fate, or foolishness. Will you uncover the pond’s secrets or become part of its ever-growing mystery?

Using a single d6, players will test their Hope and Curiosity as they explore the pond’s eerie encounters. But beware—too much curiosity may awaken Pandora, and with her, something the world is not prepared to face.

What will you leave behind in the pond? And what will the pond leave in you?
