Les Ombres d'Esteren - Forum officiel

This adventure is an adaptation on Ingmar Bergman’s film “Jungfrukällan” (The Virgin Spring), script by Ulla Margareta Isaksson, winner of the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1960. It is a tragedy with no happy ending, and it shows the harshness of Esteren to its players.

Thank you for sharing !

Hope many player will have fun with this story !

What an horrible story ...

... just delightful, as I love it ! Perfect for this kind of RPG, if you want to expose your players how tough and dark is the world of Esteren ! My favorite scene is probably when Ashan try to sell the necklace to the players... so horrific if you manage to keep the ambiance !

A very good adventure, thanks for sharing it !

It's a bit short I think but it's really good… and cruel.

Thank you very much
