Put enough books in one place and it distorts the world around it into strange shapes. Eventually, it forms a wormhole, linking the library to other libraries. The space between is a pocket realm, budded off from reality, maintained by the sheer power of books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSomewhere in any big enough and old enough library, there will be an unmarked door. It is invariably locked, and probably hidden, perhaps behind a shelf against the wall, beneath wallpaper, in rooms the public are barred from entering, or under a painting or sign. Find it, unlock it, and on the other side the shelves continue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScholars have known about this—or at least had their suspicions—for centuries. They know that if you spend too much time in the Stygian Library, you don’t come out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stygian Library is a point-crawl adventure set in an infinite extraplanar library. Each expedition randomly generates a new route as it explores, resulting in different vistas being unlocked with every visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 160 page adventure location is a perfect toolkit for generating a zero prep session or campaign for fantasy adventurers, no matter the system or the sub-genre. Every room is stacked full of mystery, charm and baroque gloom, so that even the procedurally generated adventure is novel and tightly themed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stygian Library is statted generically for Old School systems, allowing it to be easily converted into any fantasy adventuring system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stygian Library is a partnership between SoulMuppet Publishing and Dying Stylishly Games.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Universal Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51879763476801,"sku":"SMPDSYSLBP","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0559\/9123\/8813\/files\/raw_2f333549-a0a3-45f6-b7a2-c41deade706f.png?v=1782223157","url":"https:\/\/4horsemencomics.com\/products\/the-stygian-library","provider":"Four Horsemen Comics and Gaming of Robinson Township","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
