The Eclipse — A Starter Adventure

The Eclipse is a fantasy starter adventure for the Worlds Within tabletop roleplaying system.

This chapter introduces players to the world through a dangerous expedition into a hidden Tenshi-Hito prison, where a small crew attempts to steal a legendary artifact from an ancient tomb. What begins as a simple treasure hunt quickly becomes something far more dangerous as the crew uncovers forbidden history, ancient trials, and entities beyond their understanding.

Shortly after, players will awaken on the shores of Muyu: A jungle continent peopled by ancient blood sorcerers, with overgrown temples, tribal politics, and intriguing interpretations of legends. Our adventurers will come face-to-face with long-dead heroes, creative creatures, and fun puzzles when they arrive to take on The Blood Tomb.

This starter adventure is designed to introduce the mechanics and tone of Worlds Within through exploration, puzzles, and tense encounters while setting the stage for a larger story of The Eclipse.
