Hyena Child

In the 17th century, Alexandria is a city that has endured beyond the promises of its once great future. The inhabitants of the Egyptian port live in ancient ruins and dilapidated villas. The few rich and powerful celebrate in an arrogant grandeur of sad luxury, knowing full well that their days of splendor are numbered.

For grave robbers and body snatchers, the port city is a beacon, a promise—for in its bowels, endless tunnels twist and hold long-forgotten treasures. Some fortune-seekers have struck it rich, while others have dug too deep, to where the past lives and antediluvian horrors lurk.

Hyena Child is an OSR sandbox campaign with the fully mapped city of Alexandria at its center and 28 lavishly detailed locations and an 8-level dungeon to explore. Beyond the 5 (!!!) full adventures, the book also provides everything the referee needs to allow the players to pursue their own plans.

From tunnel fights to mercantile intrigues, from mummy dust addicts to cultists, from houses in the clouds to Dionysian catacombs, danger and opportunity lurk around every corner. In the end, whether the PCs become incredibly rich, end up dangling from the gallows, or even cause a cataclysmic storm surge that utterly destroys all of Alexandria remains up to their wits and weapons!
