Essence: A Savage Worlds investigative horror one-shot

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A master perfumer has created a fragrance that steals the life force of all who wear it. Samples distributed at the VIP tent of a recent street fair hospitalized several people. At least three have died. He is bottling 400 bottles of the perfume for distribution to exclusive boutiques worldwide. Two college students are missing. The truck leaves in the morning. No one but your investigators will help. But can they?

Essence is a Savage Worlds investigative horror adventure for four to six heroes of Novice to Seasoned Rank. It can be played as a standalone one-shot or dropped into a modern horror, Gothic horror, noir, or weird pulp campaign, or any setting with an investigative slant.

The adventure includes seven customizable, gender-neutral Investigator Archetypes (and one rabbit). The Archetypes are Novice with 2 Advances.

A great short adventure! I adapted it to be run in my Eberron game and it worked perfectly. Has elements of investigation, research, social interaction, and confrontation. I loved running this one! [...]

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
