The Plague of Frogs is an adventure/mystery for Liminal Horror that has the players investigate a rash of attacks that have end up being more than random bouts of violence. Can they stop the Plague of Frogs without fracturing their minds & bodies?

TOUCHSTONES: BPRD: Plague of Frogs (comic) Re-Animator (film) Aliens(film)

Mystery Structure: This is the first text using Liminal Horror's new mystery structure (so you too can create your own).

  • Concept & Touchstones: (using film/comics/novels or just specific scenes/images can help anchor the creative process)
  • Factions & Their Goals: Helps ensure that actions and reactions can take the vying agendas into account.
  • Doom Clock: A baseline sequence of events that would happen if the investigators do nothing. This framework changes in response to  the player's actions.
  • Hooks: A sample list of examples how to entangle players. The choice depends heavily on the decisions made in character creation (and The Party). 
  • Potential Clues: A nonexecutive list of potential clues that players can discover. These are like the index cards/red string in a pin board. Think of ways to connect the anchors (victims, event, malefactor) and the crime framework (means, motive, opportunity, next move). The great thing is you don't need all the answers ahead of time, they will emerge in play and in what makes sense.
  • NPCs: A list of important NPCs with their stat blocks. I also include potential types of people the investigators may encounter (so you can be prepared  ahead of time if that your preferred route.
  • Locations: A few important locations detailed. Many scenes take place outside of these places but these are where many of the factions reside.
