The Mask of Death (Pathfinder) Publisher: Zombie Orpheus Entertainment Page Count: 60 Cost: $10 (PDF)/$15 (Softcover B&W)/$20 (Softcover Colour) Release Date: (PDF)/TBD (Print) Get it Here: The Mask of Death is a Pathfinder adventure based on the tabletop gaming session in the movie The Gamers: Dorkness Rising. It’s a favorite film in our household, especially the wife, who has never played a tabletop game in her life. Zombie Orpheus Entertainment and Dead Gentlemen Productions put together an awesome movie along with the web series Journeyquest and they are currently in the process of Kickstarting the third Gamers film, Hands of Fate, which you should all. This isn’t the first time The Mask of Death has been converted into a actual playable adventure. It first appeared as Dungeon Crawl Classics #20.5 back in 2005 as a Gen Con exclusive, making it very hard (and expensive) to find. Since The Gamers and Journeyquest have such a large following, ZOE and DGP decided to kickstart a new version of the adventure, completely rewritten from the ground up and for Pathfinder instead of Dungeons & Dragons. I was one of the 587 people who happily and while I’m still waiting for the physical copy of the adventure and the bonus PDF, I was sent the core adventure in PDF format and I’ve read through the thing three times now. It’ll probably be the first actual Pathfinder adventure I ever run and I’ll most likely do it as one of our upcoming live roleplaying podcasts here on the site. I have to admit this sixty page adventure was NOTHING like what I was expecting. It has much of the film in here but roughly half the adventure is all new content that is yours to shape how you wish. I have to admit that at first I was a bit snarky about it as I wanted something that captured the exact feel of the movie. However with the second re-read I realized that the added content was a great idea. It means even the most diehard and scary creepy Gamers fanboy has something new to experience. Things can go in a wildly different direction like a Total Party Kill by a magma dragon or an encounter with striking ghost dwarves. On the third re-read I was picturing the new content in my head as deleted scenes from the movie with snarky lines from Luster, Brother Silence and Flynn the Fine while Lodge the DM tries to keep composure and the plot running. I won’t say that the adventure is better than the film, because it’s not. Instead it’s a whole new experience that lets fans of the film be active participants in the adventure as well as explore new side stories and content, similar to the old Dragonlance adventures that followed the same plot as the books when I was a kid. Oh, you’re too young to remember Dragonlance? You punk kids today So what is The Mask of Death about? Well, the evil necromancer Mort Kemnon has an evil artifact known asyou guessed it! The Mask of Death. With it, Mort Kemnon plans to destroy the city of Whitetower, ruled King Erasmus the Randomly Biased. Unfortunately this isn’t the only problem befalling Whitetower. The Goddess of Light, Therin appears to have gone silent, no longer heeding the prayers of her faithful. It’s up to a party of five brave and slightly deranged ninth level characters to discover the lair of Mort Kemnon and take him down. I don’t want to go too much more into the story for those that haven’t seen the film (AND WHY HAVEN’T YOU???) It’s a fairly straightforward plot and the majority of the adventure is a run of the mill setoff hack and slash dungeon crawls, but it’s still an entertaining adventure with a lot of twists and plenty of opportunity for comic relief. I will say there’s a little too much combat and not enough narration/exposition for my liking and some DMs are going to have their hands full running a battle with over 100 enemies, but what’s here is well done and should entertain even those gamers that somehow haven’t managed to see Dorkness Rising yet.
