Bad Beginnings - Alpha: Cards + Adventure

ADD TO WISHLIST >

An adventure for $2!

Bad Beginnings is an Untold adventure that is playable by 4 to 6 Untold Characters of Untold Point (UP) values from 40 to 60 (we recommend starting at 45 UP). The purpose of the adventure is to provide an introduction to not only the Untold CBRPGTM as a whole and its unique card-based mechanics, but also to the default campaign setting of Untold, Splintered Serenity.

This adventure is broken down into three main standalone parts (Alpha, Beta and Gamma) which can be played in conjunction with one another, or with other "sideline" adventures interspersed between the three parts. However, Bad Beginnings is linear, and should be played as such. That is to say, it's okay to play Bad Beginnings - Alpha and then play several additional smaller adventures before moving on to Bad Beginnings - Beta, but it would NOT be possible (without a fair amount of re-work on the part of the GM) to play Bad Beginnings - Beta before playing Bad Beginnings - Alpha.

Bad Beginnings - Alpha itself consists of three main sections: answering an unusual call by traveling to a strange location known only as "The Crossroads"; extracting information from a lonely and dejected Klik Crucible in "Gear Grease" and finally a mixed-up and chaotic combat scenario in the final section of the adventure, entitled "Anomaly Extraction".

This product contains the Adventure (pdf) and the following deck:
Adventure: Bad Beginnings Alpha (35 cards)(click to display the card list)

Key:
= What is a Race Card?  = What is an Aspect Card?  = What is a Power Card?  = What is a Minion Card?  = What is a Bane Card ? = What is a Double-Card?  = What is a Quad-Card?

This product contains the adventure (pdf) and all the Race, Aspect, Power, and Minion cards that the GM will need to run the adventure. However, a GM may want to have a set of Bane cards on hand - just in case bad things happen. Also. players will need to have characters either from the Starter Set, or ones you build from your own decks.

This deck is available in a bundle with the Starter Set and Minis!

This deck is also available in print!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
