When the ancient wizard Tyndaril develops a craving for a special treat from his childhood, he will stop at nothing to get his hands on the best apple pie in the whole world. He hires a group of adventurers to seek out the bakery that once produced the wonderful confection – unfortunately for them, the bakery has long since been overrun by goblins. But all is not as it seems at Grammy’s Bakery, and Tyndareus isn’t the only one who’d do anything for those pies...

You are hungry and looking for work, so you decide to solve both issues in one place. A brisk walk brings you to The Farting Dragon, the largest pub in town. The setting sun enters with you when you open the door, but it was streaming through the windows already, bathing the entire room in red light. A 5-tortle mariachi band is on stage, playing Puttin' on the Ritz. You tell the barkeep you are looking for work, and he informs you that he is expecting someone soon that has been hiring every party of adventurers he can find, desperately looking for something. You decide to eat while you wait. The special is smoked pork, boiled cabbage, roasted potatoes and brown ale. It smells and tastes delicious, but the smell of cabbage is very strong and cloying.

After about an hour of waiting, a brown-skinned man wearing a beautiful green suede tunic enters the pub and looks around. The keep catches the newcomer's eye and tilts his head towards your table. The man walks over and sits down without asking permission. He says, “I have recently learned of a creature with the power to fluster and provoke on an epic scale. It is said to frequent a labyrinth in another realm. If you bring me this creature alive, I will give you one thousand gold pieces. Are you in?”

Scenario: You are investigating a sinister string of murders and thefts. All the clues have pointed you towards the Portsmouth Harbor and you boarded the ferry to the Isle of Wight. It seems you've fallen asleep in the passenger lounge and suddenly you wake up: the engines have stopped...

SINISTER RPG System.

Background.
United Kingdom around the year 1920. All character are adults at this time. They have started to investigate after experiencing something sinister and unexplainable.
The adventure starts here. In a Campaign setting the character background story needs to be written, in a Scenario not needed.

Dice system.
To succeed at anything, one needs to throw a 5 or 6 on a normal (d6) die. How many dice a player may throw is up to the appropriate skill or attribute.

Stat points.
Every character must allocate 21 points over 2 Stats, called Life and Sanity. Damage to the body reduces Life and mental damage reduces Sanity.
At the moment a Stat reaches 3 or lower, a success roll must be rolled (number of dice same as the remaining Stat points) or the character goes unconscious. 
Zero means either death or insanity.

Attributes.
There are only two Attributes, Physical and Mental. A total of 5 points can be allocated to these Attributes.
Skills and other checks for succes may throw a number of dice equal to the points for the appropriate Attribute.

Characters.
Every character has:
- Age between 18 and 38
- Can read and write in English language
- Has the skill of Investigation (Level 1)
- Has 2 other skills of choice (Level 1)
- Gets a free skill from the Game Master (Level 1) (skills can be learned)
- The GM can determine a (secret/special) Talent (talents cannot be learned)
- Character description, length, eye/hair color and complexion, name, profession, etc.
- Some normal stuff carried (GM needs to approve).

Skills.
Skills have 3 experience levels: L0, L1 or L2.

L0: Success may be attempted any time, by throwing 1d6, 1 means some disaster happens.
L1: Throw number of d6 according to the appropriate Attribute.
L2: Same as L1, but +1 on every die.

Magic.
This is a special skill chosen at cost of 2 skills. However the player now may chose 3 categories of Magic, the GM will provide one Spell from every category. These can be cast by Success at Level 1 (Mental).
Casting takes energy/power from the character, this is represented by ½ d6 damage (allocation to Stats by player choice) per spell cast.

Spell Categories are: Water/Fire/Air/Earth/Life/Death/Objects/Illusion/Alchemy/Occult/Scrying

Opponents.
Opponents have a level 1-10, the Biggest Boss (L10) creature can do 10 damage in one blow!
Note: Regular humans are weaker than experienced investigator characters, they get extra damage when hit.

"The king must die" is what the people shout outside Castle Ravenrock yell as stones and rubble fly, guardsman rush out eager to supress the rebelrousing pasants.

The king made the fetal mistake to go ahead with the execution of Tabaxi folk hero Yarn-Katz, for many folks this is the final straw.

You and your friends are one of the many groups trying to worm your way into the castle, will you be the first group to enter and confront the tyrant King Koywass and what about the famous folk hero what will become of him?

This game of 5e will be a an introduction to second tier characters suitable for most beginning and intermediate players.

King Aric IV has been on the throne for a couple of years now and boy what did his kingdom suffer under his rule. The Kingdom of Alderan is no longer what it used to be. That should change for the better! His corruption and tyranny should be put to an end and quick. You and a small group of adventures have tasked yourself to create change. You know, killing him, but without drawing to much suspicion. The only thing you need though is a plan.

You can create your own character with the following rules

• All official content is allowed
• No homebrew
• No Unearth Arcana
• For ability score use Standard Array or Point Buy
