Write the sort of adventure players will remember for the rest of their lives
BRW Games is actively seeking adventure submissions for the Adventures Dark and Deep™ line. Since Adventures Dark and Deep™ is similar to most Old School games such as 1E, OSRIC, Swords & Wizardry, etc., submissions compatible with those sorts of systems are acceptable. We are not accepting submissions for any other game system at this time (such as Pathfinder or 5E).
If your adventure emphasizes exploration, player choice, memorable locations, and classic fantasy roleplaying, we’d like to hear from you.
The BRW Method
At BRW Games, we believe adventures are places, not stories.
The Dungeon Master presents a living world.
The players create the story.
Great adventures don’t force players down a predetermined path. They reward curiosity, cleverness, and exploration.
If that philosophy resonates with you, you may already be writing the sort of adventures we’re looking for.
