The White Crows is a role playing game supplement written and published by Sandbox Plots for use with Shadowdark. Though not stated inside the adventure itself, this is an adventure for first level characters.
The supplement is available as a two page Pay What You Want PDF from DriveThruRPG.
General Information looks at how the supplement is laid out.
Hooks and Rumors has four rumours to get the characters involved.
History gives some background, which is that a juvenile gang took over a desolated dock and have since committed several criminal acts, including murder.
Future looks at what will happen if the characters don’t intervene, which is relevant if using the village of Mstiora.
Following this, the various locations on the dock are covered. The gang members are all treated as bandits, even though they’re all teenagers. Individually, most of them probably aren’t much of a threat, but there are quite a few in the gang and, though not stated, most are by the looks of it either in earshot or sight of each other. Other than that, there is a single monster, and there’s some minor treasure.
The White Crows in Review
The PDF lacks bookmarks and is short enough that they aren’t needed. Navigation is okay. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be almost free of errors. As well as the map, there’s a single illustration. Presentation is okay.
This is basically a simple starter adventure with little in the way of real threats, though the teenagers could be dangerous en masse, and with some minor treasure to find. The White Crows can be found by clicking here.
