“The Icons of Kyon IV!” is a c-fold / tri-fold encounter designed for one session’s play. The characters are space explorers who’s ship has been damaged, needing to land on an alien planet to complete repairs and refuel. The encounter is split over five stages leading to the characters successfully (or otherwise) escaping the planet.
The product is designed to be used as a psuedo GM screen, with the player facing content (character creation and artwork) on one side of the page, and the GM facing content (rules and encounter) on the other.
Mechanically the encounter is powered by a hack of the vs. Monsters system created by Philip Reed. Instead of a deck of cards, which runs from 1 to 13 (including suits), I wanted the players to have a higher change of succeeding due to the pulp-ish feel of the adventure. So I opted for 2d8.
