Quest Fronts #2
$9.50
Magazine with grim fantasy adventure starters for any role-playing game.
More adventure starters based on Ironsworn with universal compatibility instructions
The second installment of the Quest Fronts magazine further develops the design philosophy of Dungeon World campaign fronts and the elegant mechanics of Ironsworn for quests. This system-agnostic supplement takes the best of both to offer you adventure starters that can be played in the role-playing game of your preference. Whether you are a solo player or a game master, these modules will inspire your imagination to play and tell compelling stories in a grim fantasy world.
Differences from issue #1
- More distinct, grittier illustrations and layout art
- More quest fronts (from 7 to 20) and universal bestiary entries (from 1 to 7)
- More oracles (from 4 to 49) taken from Ironsworn: Delve and Starforged, adapted for fantasy settings
- Improved threat mechanic; the campaign clocks taken from Ironsworn: Starforged
- Quests dealing with natives of these lands (elves, simulacrums) and horrors (wraiths, werewolves, vampires, undead)
- Intertextuality; references of diegetic elements between quests, from this issue and the previous one
In Quest Fronts #2...
- Low fantasy quests: The daily conflicts for survival in these lands remain an obstacle to living in peace. While we have put aside our differences in human coexistence, some seek to tame creatures that seem unnatural, and others to unravel the secrets left behind by past civilizations. This brings with it problems greater than those we have faced in the past.
- Dark fantasy quests: Our deepest fears have been materialized by the actions of cultists, or by our curiosity unravelling the forbidden. Now, horrors coexist in our world. Threats are no longer mere skirmishes over resources or ownership of ancient holy relics, but the supernatural permeates our lands and rages against humanity.
What others said about issue #1
“There are no weak points in this magazine. Art, layout, writing, it’s all things you would expect from some of the bigger companies but that is really remarkable given that they’re coming from the first effort of a team of independent contributors.”
– Pod of Plunders review
“I am exhilarated by this concept. It’s just so genius. I get instantly inspired and am itching to play. Defining the threat and threat process is one of my favorite things about this”.
– Patreon supporter
“I think this might really help newbies get started a lot more quickly. It would allow them to focus on just creating a character and getting started. I know the worldbuilding is a stumbling block for some people.”
