Adventure here
The Viking Burial Longship
...Eerie, bobbing lights give dim illumination through the fog. All is
suddenly still as a crow's warning cry, loud enough to awake the dead,
echoes in the darkness. As though in response, aphosphorescent globe
moves from behind a tree and casts upon a wall of fog a terrifying
shadow - the head of a dragon, raised high, jaws agape, its gaze fixed
on the path...
The Sacrificial Oaks
...The seven stumps, each as large as the thirteen trees that ring them,
have been stripped of bark to reveal the twisted grain and intricate
root structure. The tops are a uniform, dark color. They are very
smooth, as though red brown oil. ...or some other substance... had
anointed them to protect against the assault of the elements...
The Carrion Crow
...The trees, covered with deep green fungus, drip wet moss in a
15-foot-long strands. The ground flattens as it gives way to water: a
yellow-brown blanket covers the marsh, No sound shatters the solemn...
oppressive... silence...
...What does your party do?
What does our party do?
"You have been chosen.
Throughout the land, the omens of some cataclysmic change are clear for all to see. The flowers are blooming out of season, fish fall like rain, and a blue moon hangs in the night sky.
Yet the danger is not of this land, nor even this world. Far away in the infinite planes lies Aelos, a world of peril. A world where time itself has been corrupted and where chaos reigns.
Even the mighty Immortals who watch over the planes are powerless to help Aelos. Hope rests in you alone.
Come then, journey through the swirling Nexus, to a world beyond the stars. You have been chosen, and Eternity beckons!"

Cthulhu Now
Modern Background and Adventures For Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying
Cthulhu and the Old Ones remain powerful in the half-century since Lovecraft's death. The globe is well-explored, but the darkness within men's souls is unfathomed. Now human fortunes encompass Cthulhu and the H-Bomb too! Does technology aid the struggle for good, or is it helpless against forces from beyond space, beyond time?
Cthulhu Now includes four roleplaying adventures, "The City in the Sea," "The Killer Out of Space," "The Evil Stars," and "Dreams Dark and Deadly." Background essays provide new skills and occupations, up-to-date cash-flow information, an elaborate firearms article (and a foldout illustrating contemporary firearms), active and passive night-vision equipment, a survey of forensic pathology from Sherlock Holmes' day to the present (required reading for every serious player), and even a hit location option (useful when lots of bullets must be dealt with). Player aids for the adventures are repeated on perforated pages at the back of the book.
A collection of six 1920s scenarios for Call of Cthulhu, which can be loosely connected into a campaign.
Contains the following scenarios:
- The Spawn
- Still Waters
- Tell Me, Have You Seen the Yellow Sign?
- One in Darkness
- The Pale God
- Bad Moon Rising
From the back cover:
"Cthulhu and his minions plot against the peace and surety of the
natural world, but so do a host of Powers distinct from him. Along with
Great Cthulhu, these entities comprise the Great Old Ones, awesome
beings who came to this planet hundreds of millions of years ago, and
who dwell here yet in the dark places, just beyond the reach of man.
The Great Old Ones consists of a set of six scenarios for Call of Cthulhu: 'The Spawn' is in the Wild West, with Indians, Wobblies, and bad guys; 'Still Waters' is an adventure for people who hate to lend books; 'Tell Me, Have You Seen the Yellow Sign?' makes a symbolic stop-over in New Orleans; 'One in Darkness' features South Boston hoodlums; 'The Pale God' introduces investigators to an unusual contract; 'Bad Moon Rising' is an experience to remember. The adventures can be presented in sequence, as a loose campaign; limited cross-references allow the scenarios to stand independently."
Demons and Devils is the first module in Necromancer Games "Lair"
series, a set of modules containing short adventures usable in one or
two game sessions for the overworked Dungeon Master who does not need a
full-scale dungeon. Published under the d20 system, Demons and Devils
contains three short, difficult dungeons: The Sorcerer's Citadel, "Ras
Evil Grin" and the Pit of Despair. Each of theses is a perfect hiding
place for items a party may be questing for. And, in the fine
Necromancer Games tradition, each of theses short dungeons centers
around a demon or devil which guards that item. We've made the dungeon,
you decide what you want to hide there. Now sit back and watch your
players try to get it!
"To some, it is a vacationer's paradise. Tropical islands, set in sapphire seas, fringed with shell-covered beaches: the perfect spot to "get away from it all." To others, it is a place to be feared. Pirates' hideaways, disease-ridden jungles, psychotic natives: the perfect spot to avoid.
The Kingdom of Ierendi comprises of ten islands, each with a specific attraction for the adventure-seeking visitor. The native population includes the Makai, the original tribe to inhabit the islands, and various settlers who have chosen these exotic locales as their home (well for some, perhaps "chosen" isn't quite the proper word...).
Your characters want to take a break from continental life? Here is the material for precisely that kind of relief. This Gazetteer includes information on each island in the Kingdom, complete maps of the area, adventures keyed to specific locations (as well as some more general ones), and for the DM a new method of playing out sea battles, complete with ship counters.
Come back to Ierendi. Make it yours, again and again."

"Diabolical threats lurk everywhere in the world of the AD&D game. Heroes who fight evil on the Prime Material Plane may contend with forces whose power rises from the depths of Hell.

"The End of the World Is at Hand
A hideous death cult has seized control of an ancient artifact-monument known as Tovag Baragu. The power behind the cult is the Old One himself, Iuz the Evil, demonic master of an empire. He's on an all-or-nothing quest for supremacy over the world - and the heavens beyond.
To stop him, heroes must face horrors never dreamed of, journeying to a shadowed city where Death rules and the living cower. Here, Iuz will achieve his mad dream by destroying imprisoned master of that alien citadel - Vecna, the mightiest lich, an immortal demigod.
Two items exist with the power to stop Iuz - the Eye and the Hand of Vecna - but using them carries fantastic risks. Not even the gods know what will be unleashed when these items are fully activated.
Die Vecna Die! takes the heroes from the GREYHAWK campaign to the demiplane of RAVENLOFT and then to the PLANESCAPE city of Sigil. However, none of the material from those settings is required for play."
Shapes that rip and tear. Shadows that live in corners. Windows in space and time that lead to realms of madness and decay. A dark, lurking horror that feeds off the echoing aguish of a billion tortured souls. This is the center of a twisted, sinister conspiracy which threatens the very existence of all humankind. Set in the near future, the world of Dark Conspiracy is dramatically altered from today and is fraught with peril and challenges. The Metroplexes, where most of the world’s population lives, are a blend lawless gang turf and corporate fortresses ruled by men and women powerful enough to be above the law. The countryside is sparsely inhabited, its natives suspicious and violent. And increasing areas of countryside are turning into Demonground, from which few humans return.
When an ancient, brooding evil is released from its dimensional prison, humankind’s worse nightmares come to life. What is the link between this sinister horror and the mysterious holes in the ozone layer, the rise of empathically aware humans, and the alien visitors from another star system?
For the few men and women perceptive enough to recognize the danger and resourceful enough to fight it, the battle to recapture humankind’s birthright will be long and costly.
Can you push back the dark?
From the web:
The game is set in the early 21st century after the "Greater Depression" has destroyed the global economy. Focusing on the United States, the game describes a country undergoing slow collapse. Most of the largest cities have continued to expand and formed massive metroplexes, in some cases covering entire states' worth of land. Outside of the metroplexes the majority of the country has become known as "Outlaw" where there is virtually no federal or state protection and the road network is barely maintained between the glittering lights of the Metroplexes. Scattered throughout the Outlaw and even in the darker and more forbidding areas of the Metroplexes, zones known as "Demonground" have begun to appear. Out of these areas spread monsters, everything from legendary creatures such as Vampires and Werewolves, to the science fiction nightmares of aliens and cyborgs. The PCs typically assume the roles of people who have stumbled across this "Dark Invasion" and taken up arms against it.
The first edition uses a d10 to resolve skill checks.
"Two huge volumes containing rules and guidelines for the new role playing system, 600 familiar and not-so-familiar monsters, provisions for godhood, and intelligent character monsters. Good for hours of intriguing fun!"
"Before the dawn of history, mankind pierced the veil between the material world and ... something else. Perhaps one person in hundred could perceive a little more than the rest. One in thousands gained true power. Some of these Initiates used their supernatural talents to aid their people. Others became predators, or rulers, or the secret power behind rulers.
"When the Europeans crossed the Atlantic to conquer the Americas, their Initiates – the ancient Lodges – came with them, crushing the natives' mystic defenders. But a new force arose. From Initiates among African slaves, from surviving native shamans, from knowledge stolen from the Lodges themselves, Voodoo was born – a powerful magical religion, whose gods, the loas, actually possess, or "ride," their followers.
"For centuries, the Voodoo Initiates and the Brethren of the Lodges have waged their invisible war. Now both sides realize that they face an even greater enemy: the Corruptors, cannibal spirits that feed on the misery of mankind."
