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. Neither good nor evil, daemonia act out of self-interest, seeking souls to increase their power and prolong their livelihood. They have no qualms with blackmailing, bribing, or intimidating a person for their soul. In Backwater, Mr. Scratch is the best-known daemon, yet most believe he is merely a legend. 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.
