Now for the next Zine of the year I present, in single page zine format, The Blighted Warren. I still believe that these provide DMs a lot more freedom to tinker with it how they want and open up the adventures to be more free formed and flowing than the larger booklet zines.
There is references to the blog nights which are D&D centric (regarding Friday night’s Stat-blocks) but this adventure can be used system agnostic more so than my regular Zines. As always Kobold fight club can be used to quickly balance an encounter for Dungeons and Dragons and Tetra-cube provides the stat-blocks for many of my D&D creatures.
So I hope you enjoy this weeks adventure, The Blighted Warren, and that all your rolls are made with advantage.

Embark on a thrilling adventure in The Curse of Sprin, where mystery, magic, and danger await. The party arrives at the mist-laden village of Sprin, a once-prosperous farming community now gripped by despair. With wilting crops and starving livestock, the town’s mayor, Seraine, pleads for help, revealing the town’s mystical protector—the Moonburrow Hare—has vanished. She suspects trouble but speaks in hushed tones of an ominous figure, Mr. B, whose name carries unsettling weight among the villagers. The party sets out toward the edge of Knotwood Forest, where the hare was last seen, hoping to uncover the truth behind its disappearance.
Tracking strange footprints and shattered eggshells, the adventurers stumble upon a sinister sight—poachers. Among them, a commanding woman orders a half-orc named Kug to transport a squirming sack, revealing that the Moonburrow Hare has been captured. As the party watches from the shadows, they witness giant weasels, locked in cages, being loaded onto wagons, alongside crates of stolen Moonburrow Hare eggs. A confrontation is inevitable, leading to a desperate battle against these ruthless hunters before the trail of their operation vanishes deeper into the Knotwood.
As the last poacher falls, he pleads for his life, offering the party crucial information—his employer, Bugs, a manipulative merchant, plans to use the eggs as blackmail, forcing the town into submission while keeping the hare imprisoned for his own gain. The poacher, hoping to spare himself, gives the party directions to Bugs’ encampment, where the captured hare is held. With time running out, the party presses forward, determined to stop the merchant before his scheme comes to fruition.
Reaching the poachers’ encampment, the adventurers find Bugs seated in his lavish tent, surrounded by his remaining men and an array of cages. As the party confronts him, he feigns diplomacy, offering the hare in exchange for their silence, but treachery is woven into his every word. At the moment of negotiation, Bugs makes his final move—drawing a concealed blade to slay the Moonburrow Hare, aiming to remove its magic from the equation entirely. The party reacts swiftly, a climactic battle ensuing, where Bugs finally meets his downfall.
With the hare freed and the eggs returned to the village, Sprin begins to heal. As if touched by the hare’s magic, the crops regain their vitality, the villagers regain their strength, and celebrations erupt through the streets. The party has not only saved the town but ensured that its guardian, the Moonburrow Hare, remains a symbol of prosperity and hope. This adventure is a tale of mystery, conflict, and redemption, promising players an unforgettable journey through the misty depths of Sprin and the ancient Knotwood Forest.
