The Second Thaw

You have a day, a road, and something of somebody else’s to return.

FOR EXACTLY TWO PEOPLE. One runs it, one plays - or two play with a light hand on the rules. No party to assemble, no five diaries to line up, no session zero.

WHAT YOU GET - 39 pages, and nothing left for you to invent

- 5 scenes written out in full, balanced for two rather than four

- 3 maps in three versions each: DM, player, and no grid. 70 px per 5-foot square

- Ready-to-play 3rd-level characters, printed and done

- 2 full stat blocks, printed beside the scene that uses them

- 10 secrets, tables and handouts, and written help for when it goes somewhere you did not expect

COMBAT-LIGHT, AND THE ENDING IS A CHOICE. There is a fight if you want one. The question at the end has no correct answer, and it is asked of the two of you.

THE FILES - four PDFs: A4 and US Letter, each in colour and in a printer-friendly build. The printer-friendly version is the same book in pure white, nothing removed. Plus 9 map images.

Compatible with Fifth Edition. Instant digital download - nothing is posted.

An anniversary or Valentine’s gift that takes one evening.

GETTING YOUR FILES - two things worth knowing

The download does not work well from the Etsy phone app. Use a computer, or a phone browser rather than the app.

If you check out as a guest, the link in your email is the only copy you get - save the files before you close it.

Made with AI assistance: the text and maps of this adventure were written and generated with AI, then edited, checked and laid out by hand.
