So, now that you have emerged triumphant in deadly horse races, survived lethal politics, tamed the feral fury of fierce barbarians, rescued Roman royalty, escaped certain death several times, and humbled a horrible human monster... what's next?


Isn't it obvious? You must now brave the savage perils of the Dark Continent!


In Pax Gladius Adventure Pack #1, James Stubbs of Heyoka Studios and Deep7 yanks you far from the decadent comforts of Rome (and your leisurely frolic in the untamed North) and thrusts you deeply into new landscapes filled with uncertainty and terror.


There are five epic adventures, and in no time at all you are busy having your true mettle tested!


In The Voyage a low-risk business venture leads you to certain ruin.


Saved? has you lost at sea, facing sharks and slavers.


Lost and Found sees you enslaved, expendable and on a treasure hunt in eerie jungle ruins.


During Homecoming you are teased by a way out of your dilemma.


And, if you somehow survive all this, Roman Justice gives you a chance to finally make things right... and, if the gods will it, get really rich in the process!


As with the original Pax Gladius game, all of the adventures in Action Pack #1 connect, and everything you need to run an adventure is provided on one page. The cinematic nature of every epic chapter is deliberate, and each one provides a typical movie's duration (60-90 minutes) worth of entertainment.


I am already planning on running Pax Gladius for some friends. in Action Pack #1 I have found a truly worthy series of sequel adventures.


Onwards!
