Hello everyone, it is that time of the month once more, when we embark on incredible adventures and push back the borders of the domains of dread! The Randomiser of Doom must've enjoyed all the inspiration we found in an obscure domain in July because it has taken us, I would argue, even farther. This month we are exploring

Leederik's Tower!

Leederik's Tower is the lair of the deeply curious Darklord known as The Phantom Lover, who possesses one unique trait; in very particular circumstances, he can enter the material plane!

Use this information as you plan your adventure. It can be for any level, any edition, even any game. The rules are that it feels like an adventure involving Leederik's Tower or The Phantom Lover.

That you include [Adventure Jam] in your title and use the Haunted House flair. And No. Plagiarism! Plagiarists will be gaslit to death! It can happen!

You have until 23.59.59 BST on Sunday August 30th to submit your entry.

Best of luck!

Happy Anniversary (possibly maybe I dunno I can't be bothered to count but we'll take it anyway!)

I got in a creative mood thinking about how Ivana Boritsi and Ivan Dilisnya have connections to certain Monster types; Ivana with Plants and Ivan with Constructs, and I've been really enjoying Season 4 of Critical Role which features multiple powerful Noble Houses much like Borca, all of which have a flavour or gimmick to them, and I decided to have a bit of an imagination session coupling the other houses to other Monster types and flavouring their listed concerns from Ravenloft: Horrors Within:

​

* **Tatenna (banking) + Dragons** The head of the Household is, and forever has been, a Silver Dragon corrupted by greed, who regards the wealth within his bank's vaults as his personal hoard. To disguise his unnaturally long life he routinely devours the presumptive heir of each generation, adopting their visage and absorbing their memories to continue the facade.

​

* **Ivliskova (education & orphanages) + Aberrations** Orphans placed in the care of House Ivliskova are taught many valued traits: pliability, quietude, servility. The wine they toast their graduations with are laced with the psionic mucus of an eldritch being the House keeps on their estate. It is bent to their will, or so it wills them to believe.

​

* **Nuikin (academia & athletics) + Giants** The scions of House Nuikin claim proudly that their line are descended from a legendary giant whose stone bones are entombed somewhere in the Domain. This fanciful claim is in fact true, as is the rumour that the Nuikins like to "keep it in the family" to preserve their "strong bloodline", a policy that has developed the unmistakable 'Nuikin Eye'.

​

* **Ocrotire (fishing & woodwork) + Oozes** The unchallenged masters of Lake Balaur, only House Ocrotire know that the supposedly bottomless lake' true master is a gargantuan, gelatinous mass that dwells in its unplumbed depths. Once, it rose, and devastated the entire lakeshore. For now it seems content with a steady diet of unlucky commoners and House enemies the Ocrotire offer it via a pitted iron cage.

​

* **Ritter (fashion) + Undead** House Ritter has seen fit to "automate" their mills and dye houses by putting their entire workforce to death, boiling away the flesh and putting the tireless animated skeletons to endless work. One of the House's more gifted scions has discovered a way of weaving Death into thread, crafting outfits that make the wearer appear uncannily beautiful by burning through their remaining years.

​

* **Eris (arts & theatre) + Fey** All of House Eris' fortunes are built upon an ancient bargain with an Archfey whose only stipulation was that he be kept "Entertained". Now the entire family line operates in frantic anxiety; preying on every new talent and idea to keep their Patron satisfied. Each gallery and showhouse fitted with a window only He can peer through.

​

* **Pretorius (gambling) + Fiends** The history of House Pretorius as a family of Diabolists is the worst kept secret in Borca, one they exploit to furnish their reputation and image. In truth the Lower Planes haven't answered the beckons of a Pretorius in generations, their internal power is one terrific bluff!

​

* **Nobriskov (religion) + Celestials** Self-appointed shepherds of the flock, the Nobriskovs claim their Great Cathedral is a beacon in the darkness. In truth it is more like a flytrap; drawing in lost and beleaguered Celestials through the Mists and entrapping them with an imperative: Defend the Cathedral, and obey the Nobriskovs.

​

* **Olzanik (metalwork) + Elementals** The rich, pure seams that the mines of House Olzanik - and only Olzanik - strike in the Drangue Hills are all fed from one source; the veins of a colossal, slumbering titan of rock, gems and metal. Their gnawing in the depths has lately triggered seismic stirrings.

​

* **Piechota (ranching) + Monstrosities** The remoteness of Piechota estate and their vast pastures bordering the Mists have afforded them an unexpected boon: so-called "Designer Animals" that stumbled from the Mists changed. From Hounds that flicker into ephemera to winged steeds, they have soared in popularity among all levels of the Nobility. Naturally the most lethal specimens are broken in by cruel handlers and held in reserve to protect the House and their interests.

My entry for Adventure Jam 9: Vorostokov, written for Cairn 2nd Edition. Hope you like it!

It's Flamin' June this month, and the subreddit has been talking up a (sand)storm about a certain hot and dusty domain, so it seems only right that this month we will be adventuring in...

​

VOROSTOKOV!!!

​

That's right, u/PhDnD-DrBowers, that wasn't just a cute comment on your community post, that was a teaser!

​

You have until the last stroke of midnight (23:59.59 BST) Tuesday 30th of June to conceive of and craft an adventure in the frozen wastes of Vorostokov; this adventure can be for any TTRPG system, any edition, any length and style that you like, so long as it feels fitting to the themes of the Domain. Simply use the Haunted House Build-a-thon tag and include [Adventure Jam] in your entry's title. The only rule? No plagiarism. Plagiarists will be frostbitten! And then wolfbitten!

Always useful to share these sort of articles for all those newer fans who might be imagining their own Domain and need a primer on the basics.

Ahoy there, mateys! The merry month of May is nearly sailing out onto the horizon, but ye'll not be following, as we're all stranded here, in the doldrums of Saragoss, where our next Adventure Jam is set!

For more information about Saragoss, check out the Mistipedia article here.

You now have until 23.59.59 BST on Sunday, May 31st to conceive, create, and present to us an adventure set in Saragoss. This adventure can be any length, any level, any edition and any system you like; it simply must be one that is set within Saragoss, and it must be your own work. Plagiarists will be fed to the Sharks!

Good luck, and have fun. Yarr!
