(OGL License – Go To Adventures)
Hi all! I originally started this website about two years ago to accomplish two goals:
1) To start and run a blog on worldbuilding and
2) To showcase and advertise my talents as a freelance writer on Upwork.
However, my freelancing efforts have left me with little time to dedicate to this site, so it has largely languished over the last two years or so.
At one point, I was going to develop my own RPG system and publish it on this site. That’s not canceled, but it has been shoved to the back of the shelf.
Instead, I am going to start publishing some Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition adventures through the SRD License that Wizards of the Coast has developed. I’m going to see how that goes and, maybe do my own system later. If I can ever find the time.
Payment Method
Please use the donation form to “pay” the suggested price for each individual adventure. Please use the “One-Time” payment option as I am not doing any recurring payment products or options at this time. You are on the honor system.
Thank you.
Customizing Adventures for Other Fantasy RPG Systems
All adventures on this site are, in theory, customizable to any Fantasy RPG system with a little bit of effort on your part.
They are written for the SRD or 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons System, but all 5th Ed. D & D specific information is highlighted in cyan (light blue), so that it can be found quickly and, if needed, swapped out for information specific to another Fantasy gaming system.
You just have to edit the PDF file.
Also, critical adventure information is highlighted in yellow.
Report Problems of Any Kind
To report any problems or issues send an email to mryan_author at the yahoo email system. I think you can figure out what else to add to that address, assuming you are human and not a bot. Please put “The Wizards Inkwell” in the subject line.

In this low-level adventure, the party stumbles upon an ancient, ruined fortress infested with goblins and bugbears.

When the characters take possession of the gems, they will likely draw the curse down upon themselves. Once they realize this, the adventure transforms from a simple hack-and-slash to a more sinister race against time to solve the mystery and lift the curse.
