Finley: A Midwest Fantasy
This is a module for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition where players take on different roles and explore an imaginary version of their experiences living in Indiana, with various factions competing to gain power over the state's people. The game includes 3 major cities each featuring unique NPCs, landmarks, quests, locations like haunted graveyards or deadly coal mines that are part of a tabletop role-playing adventure set within these environments by author Cassi Mothwin who grew up in Indiana and is now living on the West Coast where she works as an artist. The module includes both fantasy creatures inspired from Midwest stories such as mastodons, viscous hydragons (a mythical creature), cornfields with bloody pasts, mining communities struggling economically to maintain their survival while also serving a higher power or god/goddess in these regions of the world according to Mothwin's inspirations for this adventure. The module includes 2d6 random encounters ranging from odd NPCs and deadly ambushes up until 3 treasury-filled locations such as magical tools, rewards, and historical artifacts with descriptions written by author Cassi Mothwan who is also a character in these adventures set on the West Coast of America where she lives her life through art.
