Shadowdark: Voyage Aboard the Flying Leopard

Voyage aboard a merchant clipper carrying strange passengers, illicit cargo and an insidious killer…

This is my entry to the Weird Tales Game Jam and is based off of the short story Spotted Satan which was published in 1940.https://itch.io/jam/weird-tales-game-jam

This adventure is designed for Shadowdark RPG but can fit into any OSR campaign or TTRPG session so long as you need a ship for your PCs to charter or just want some ideas on what can possibly go wrong on a sea voyage!

Features:

A mysterious killer who strikes at night!Strange passengers with their own agendasIllicit (and somewhat dangerous) cargoA table for generating “what’s in the box” when your PCs inevitably open up the cargo4 different tables to generate A random nightly murderGossip and rumors the crew are talking aboutA complication to throw a wrench in the murder investigationDaily conditions or events on the sea

Two new magical items (one of which is quite heavy)Beautifully illustrated art from Ink Potion StudiosA map of the ship in two versions, GM and PC friendly!

Edit: Updated the pdf file, it was missing a name in the credits, along with some minor grammatical fixes and improvements to some text. Also updated the .png files in slightly higher quality.
