Adventure Component: the Shelves of Selves

 Another "adventure component", like the Cabinent of Banes and Boons, intended as an exercise in compressed dungeoneering. Unlike the cabinet, this one doesn't have a fun sketch, but I think it needs it less.

Here is the Shelves of Selves.

Here is the player's handout.

Here is a stock picture of a spooky bookcase

(Not representative)

Some features include:

  • histories, anthropologies, philosophies
  • evidence of a smoking habit
  • murderer freaks
  • magic spells, some familiar and some unique
  • unhelpful bestiaries
  • sassy authors
  • a worm
  • lasers
  • a coded message
  • a cackhanded reference to the King in Yellow
  • and a sewing textbook

  2. I love and am instantly using both this and the cabinet. Players have already got stuck in on the cabinet, it's great fun
