The Domestic - Solo Adventure for Rivers of London the Roleplaying Game

The Domestic - FREE Introductory Solo Adventure for Rivers of London: the Roleplaying Game

Spring, 2016: the Folly, also known as the Metropolitan Police Service’s “special magic branch,” has received word of repeated domestic disturbances at an address on Prince of Wales Road, London—and very odd ones, at that.

Convinced that there’s more going on than meets the eye, DCI Thomas Nightingale has assigned you, his newest recruit, to the case.

The Domestic is an introductory solo scenario for Rivers of London the Roleplaying Game. Designed for one player, it is based on Rivers of London creator Ben Aaronovitch’s short story of the same name. Choose to play as a magic-wielding police officer, nurse, or social worker in a game set in the world of the hugely successful Rivers of London series.

Armed with this book, a pencil, and some roleplaying dice, you are ready to take on your first case for the Folly. No GM needed!

Can you solve the mystery on Prince of Wales Road?
