At the bottom of an ancient temple,
beyond the mirror's edge,
lies the spot where reality was sundered.
Fortune and power await those who learn its secrets.
A fate worse than death is reserved for those who fail.
You’ve come to plunder the temple between worlds
and gaze into its ABERRANT REFLECTIONS.
OSR-Style puzzle dungeons lean heavily on the exploration pillar of adventure games. They are a test of a player's ingenuity and designed to invoke the experience of suddenly understanding a previously incomprehensible problem or concept. “Aha!”
Aberrant Reflections is a puzzle dungeon roleplaying adventure module for low level characters (1–4).
It's compatible with B/X, old school, and modern fantasy rules with minimal conversion.
You’ll find within its 44 digest-sized pages:
- Problems, puzzles, and combat that encourages player creativity and understanding of their environment.
- Stunning art from Jacob Fleming, Del Teigler, Luke Broderick and Kiril Tchangov.
- New and wondrous magic items and fearsome creatures to keep your players curious and excited!
- A "control panel” layout design that’s easy for game masters to reference and run on-the-fly.
Content Warning: Aberrant Reflections contains elements of body horror. Depictions of such horror can be removed or happen “off-screen” without negatively impacting the adventure. Talk with your players beforehand about using safety tools in your game.
Praise for Aberrant Reflections:
"If you have a group of players that love shenanigans and love putting their brains to work to solve problems in unorthodox ways, this is probably going to be an adventure that they would love and it's the sort of thing that I love. Strongly recommend this."
- Ben from Questing Beast
"A puzzle dungeon that doesn't necessarily feel like a puzzle dungeon. Which is a good thing."
- Bryce Lynch of tenfootpole
"Aberrant Reflections has gross, mysterious monsters and clever puzzles packed into a tight, carefully designed dungeon filled with beautiful art. I can't wait to watch my players scratch their heads, hold their sides, and gasp as their characters are ripped limb from limb."
- Yochai Gal; Author of Cairn
