Yes, when it comes to zines, most of the time I'm perfectly happy with black ink on white pages with a color cardstock cover. Production values at this level are not a requirement, and certainly not a showstopper. So when I see the art draw me in for The Scourge of Northland, a low-level adventure for OSR and other fantasy RPGs, I'm quite intrigued.
The frontier town of Obanhold is situated at the upper edge of settled lands, in a veritable utopia of natural resources and rich soil, simply known as Northland. The people of Obanhold look to expand their territory and take from the land wantonly, ever blind to the cost. Nature resists, but men are stubborn and little will deter them from their course when their sights are set. It is the eternal struggle of law and chaos. However, will and persistence can only get man so far, and this time a reckoning is coming.
Nearby settlements have been rocked by bands of orcs and the very walls of Obanhold have been assaulted by swarms of giant spiders. War is coming and and neither shield or bow may be enough to weather the storm. With their military strength stretched thin, the leaders of Obanhold are seeking adventurers and mercenaries brave enough to secure strategic locations, resources, and allies to aid them.
The enemies tread nearer. Their rumbling approach gathers on the horizon like a storm cloud with its shadow cast across Northland.
