Penumbral Oasis: Part One
A downloadable game
Available in print and pdf from the following stores:
Antipodezones
Iglootree
Sunken in the placid waters of a cursed oasis is an untouched vault from the time of the ancient Autarchs.
Hideous curses from quantum daemons; dusty trapped tombs, ripe for plunder; an ancient portal to the jungles of Luna.
Will you survive the Penumbral Oasis?
This zine details the first three floors of a large dungeon designed for use with Vaults of Vaarn. Each floor has unique monsters, treasures, and traps designed to take a party from level 1 to 3. To encourage ease of use digitally, all encounter tables and maps are fully hyperlinked.

the art looks amazing! what’s the status on physical copies?
Thanks! Hopefully very soon. I ordered a bunch for various UK stores, and they should be shipping any day now. I'm looking into ways for distributing some in the US.
I'm also highly considering making a cheaper print on demand Lulu version when I finish Part Two.
I'll post an update when I know they're available in stores.
I’ve read through the adventure and it’s very well written and presented
Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in providing community copies of your game. I’m a disabled pension who can’t afford much so these free gifts really help me out in playing games and keeping my mind active.
I really appreciate your hard work and kindness
Excited to print this off and slot it in our region!
Thanks Bucolian! I'm going to be getting this printed and to a few stores very soon, but do you think it'd be useful to have a white background pdf for slightly better printing?
Yes a b&w printer version would be amazing.
I'll get to this eventually 😅
