Free Role Playing Game Supplement Review: The Oracle’s Decree (Elemental Edition)

The Oracle’s Decree (Elemental Edition) by Michael Prescott and Michael Atlin is a role playing game supplement published by Gildor Games for use with Elemental. This adventure is adapted from the original system-neutral version and is and is CC-BY-NC 3.0 for the original and is CC-BY-NC 4.0 for the adapted parts.

The supplement is available for free from DriveThruRPG as a six-page PDF and a second, 13-page PDF.

The first and second pages cover the location. There are rumours about the location, events for the desert surrounding it and descriptions of the various encounters, all around a black and white image of the location’s exterior.

The second page has some encounters continuing from the first, and then it covers the underground area, with descriptions surrounding a map of the location.

The next two pages have the Elemental rules added. There are rules for travelling in the desert, stats for the various monsters encountered, the traps and the magic items that can be found.

The final two pages have player maps of both the exterior and the interior.

The second PDF has six pre-generated Elemental characters, which are from a selection of characters that are used in these adventures.

The Oracle’s Decree (Elemental Edition) in Review

The primary PDF lacks bookmarks and, given its length, doesn’t need them. The secondary PDF has the characters linked. Navigation is good. The text maintains a four-column landscape format and appeared to be free of errors. There are several black and white illustrations including the maps, most of which appear to be custom, and the map. Presentation is good.

This is one of a series of adventures that follow the same principle; take a non-commercial adventure, add stats to it and provide it for free for use with Elemental, meaning that more content is available for the system. This one should be easy enough to drop into a desert location in most fantasy settings, though some tweaking might be needed.
