A Review of the Role Playing Game Supplement A Grave Dispute

A Grave Dispute by DE Productions is a role playing game supplement published by ARBEBBUG for use with MÖRK BORG.

The supplement is available as a 22 page Pay What You Want PDF from DriveThruRPG. One page is the front cover and one and a half the front matter.

The Introduction explains that this can be played standalone, but also as part of the series The Blessing of St. Rocco, which consists of this, The Temple of the Toad, The Mouth of the Maw and The Baron’s Bitter Brew.

You are in Graven Tusk has some fluff describing a necropolis which the characters are hiding in, with a d6 table of reasons why they are hiding.

Intro Rat breakfast has the characters woken up by someone offering them rats for breakfast. She wants the characters to find her son in exchange for a potion that will allow them to talk to rats.

The Mausoleum assumes the characters have agreed and are led to a mausoleum where her son disappeared, with two d6 tables for corridors and rooms. Following this are descriptions of the underground area, complete with monsters, that the characters will explore, until the final encounter. There is an option for the ending if this adventure is being played as part of The Blessing of St. Rocco.

The final page of content has a map of the barrow.

A Grave Dispute in Review

The PDF is bookmarked with the various major sections linked. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be almost free of errors. There are a number of mostly black and white illustrations. Presentation is decent.

This is an adventure that’s perhaps appropriate for MÖRK BORG in that there is a serious problem with the reward which the characters get from the adventure. This problem is serious enough that, unless the adventure is played as part of the campaign, it makes doing the adventure rather annoyingly pointless. A Grave Dispute can be found by clicking here.
