Engine of the Chronomancer

Engine of the Chronomancer is a weird and wonderful one-shot (or short mini-campaign) where your party’s simple job gone wrong leads to something much bigger—and much stranger. After being short-changed by a shady trader, your only hope of proving the truth lies in finding a mythical time-bending device built by a long-dead mage named Harrier. What follows is a surreal journey through his old home, a place that seems untouched by time and full of puzzles, shifting timelines, and looping memories. You’ll face magical traps, make split-second decisions in real-time, and try to break out of a time loop by piecing together who Harrier really was. Built on the flexible Fantastic Intents SRD, this game combines narrative mystery with inventive mechanics like aging hexes and memory-based riddles—perfect for a night of mind-bending, reality-warping adventure with your group.
