The best adventures from Footprints --- seven free old-school modules!

After going through all 25 issues of the old-school zine Footprints, I am in a good position to say that
a.) it's a treasure trove of gaming materials and a real community effort, and
b.) it has a bunch of GREAT adventure modules.

The modules, I think, don't get enough attention and love, perhaps because they are hidden inside the sometimes quite sizable zines. So, without further ado, I present here my subjective list of the seven best adventures from the pages of Footprints!

You can get these PDFs for free over at Dragonsfoot.

*drumroll*

Behold... The Magnificent Seven!

1. "Gilded Dream of the Incandescent Queen", by H.D.A. (levels 3-6), Footprints #25. A floating double-tetrahedron, with lots of weirdness and psychedelic vibes!
2. "The Emperor's Lost Army", by John A. Turcotte (levels 5-7), Footprints #9. Sandbox exploration adventure set in an overgrown ruined city; lost world, A. Merritt vibes.
3. "The Secret of the Wood of Dark Boughs", by R.N. Bailey (levels 3-5), Footprints #20. Mystery/investigation module with many moving parts, set in a rural area, with folk horror vibes.
4. "The Tenebristic Orb", by Malrex (levels 4-7), Footprints #25. Weird dungeon enclosed in an orb! Strong light/shadow/darkness theming.
5. "The Haunted Inn of the Little Bear: Revenant’s Revenge", by Brian Wells (low levels), Footprints #15. Mystery adventure with a Solomon Kane vibe.
6. "The Mired Cathedral", by C. Wesley Clough (levels 4-6), Footprints #18. A small but solid location-based adventure.
7. "Death From Above", by Michael Haskell (levels 6-9), Footprints #10. Flying cloud giant fortress.

Looking back at my own list, it's pretty obvious that I have a soft spot for two kinds of adventures: bonkers psychedelic floating orbs/pyramids or low-magic folk horror locations... Oh, and pulpy "lost worlds", too.

I shared longer write-ups of all the materials that caught my attention in my previous posts:  #1 through #5, #6 through #10, #11 through #15, #16 through #20, #21 through #23, #24 and #25.
