The Quick and The Grave
The Quick and The Tomb is an adventure module set in ancient Rome, written by Jeff Rienth at the request of his friend David Blevins who wanted to play a game about grave robbers using simple mechanics with few rules but lots of fun characters! Players take on roles as tomb raiders exploring tombs for treasure before being confronted by spirits and other dangers. The module is set in ancient Rome where players can explore historic sites, buy items at bazaars or visit temples such as the Colosseum while avoiding supernatural threats like zombies to complete their goals of finding a rare item hidden inside an old chest leading them back home after they have taken it with themselves!
