Orcs in the Webbe: Dreadloque Bilbo Nesta Marley and The Macaroons Adventure


Orcs in the Webbe: Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhaoibh! A Happy Saint Patricks's Day to you all! In previous years OITW has brought you a series of linked adventures on each of the four Saints Days observed in Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland.

Today's release is a brand new Flintloque/Dresda scenario by Danny O'Hara. In it the Jamcakey born halfling Bilbo Nesta Marley takes his first steps of rebellion under the leadership of Drogo Dekker.


I thought it would be good to see where various characters we read about on OITW come from and that in turn led me to think about what they were doing in the time before Blackpowder. I loved the original Flintloque 'prequel', Dresda, and was also a great fan of it's successor, Darkestorme. Both look at what Valon was like as a fantasy realm. Whilst each is at it's core a high fantasy ruleset, there's enough of Valon in there to make them feel different to other fantasy games. These adventures are from that time, when magicke, monsters and treasure filled the land. I hope you enjoy reading this years Saints Day tales as much as I have.
