Backwater Adventures: The Prince of Darkness is a Gentleman
Backwater Adventures The Prince of Darkness is a Gentleman Backwater Adventures (PDF, 107 pgs) includes the "Southern Comfort" and "The Devil Came Down" adventures, two one-sheet adventures: "Full Boar" and "In My Death," and a solitaire game, "Eulalie's Curse." These adventures are set in and around New Orleans, within the Backwater ward. The adventures and solitaire game can be played separately or combined to introduce a main antagonist (or possibly a patron?) for the player-characters: the Prince of Darkness himself, Mr. Scratch. Daemonia or demons are behind many of the plots and schemes of the American Lands.

In these adventures, player-characters are gradually introduced to his schemes before they eventually meet with him face-to-face. Despite the troubles the player-characters may have caused him, Mr. Scratch is a true gentleman. And he proposes a deal with them. The rest is up to you...Did you know? Backwater has a character sheet on Roll20, making it easier for you to play with your friends online. For a tutorial on adding the sheet to a Roll20 game and an overview of the sheet see: Roll20 Character Sheet for the Backbone Game System.
