Thunder Speakers of Buzhou

Your group has been chosen to deliver the King's wish to the famed Thunder Speakers of Buzhou so that it might be heard by the Celestial Emperor and be granted for the coming year. Unfortunately, it is well known that only one wish is granted each year, and all of the vassal kings send their messengers on the eve of the year since the last messenger delivered the thundering edict. You'll need to go and find the current speaker among the twelve that live in Buzhou, deliver the wish, and let no one interrupt the ritual of their speaking. Do this before any other messengers can and bring great honour to yourself, your family, and your king.

The adventure contains:

• 13 Rooms / Encounters designed to challenge your players' social, combat, and exploration prowess.
• 17 NPC Stat Blocks designed for use with Knave Second Edition but strong enough to work with any OSR system.
• Unique treasures, including a magic sword that can detect the greatest desires of its victims.
• 3 Different editions for the nostalgic, the practical, and the collector.
• Built in replay-ability with 12 distinct speakers, the party must find each year based on the Chinese zodiac.
