The dark side of the Arthurian myth - a Mephisto review
Shadow to the Light
A gutter mage of the Mercury Collegium has disappeared, and various parties are looking for her - because she betrayed the Council of Merlin and sent out a call for help to the Mercury Collegium. The crew of the players is supposed to pick up her trail, which leads them first to an old fort and then to Avalon.
As usual for Liminal, the adventure Shadow to the Light is presented in a few pages with a few scenes that allow (and necessitate) freedom in filling in the details for the game master. Again, the game master is presented with a basic plot that he can and must adapt to his group. The story framework linking to aspects of the Arthurian saga creates a connection to the folklore of Britain and combines it with the factions of Liminal. If you are willing to spend some time fleshing out the details, you will get a case for Liminal that can also serve as a prelude to larger developments.
