Word has reached the street of Redpoint that a lost artifact of great power lies to the southwest, in an obscure vale in the ancient Seawatch Mountains. It is the Blackstone, a relic of ancient power from a mythic age. There are only a few references to it in the tomes of history, all of them fearful and despairing. It has been the tool of several men of monstrous evil, finally disappearing in one of the wildest battles of the Mage War. The potential for an era of unchecked evil abounds, unless you find the Blackstone first and destroy it. The Dark Vale is a complete fantasy adventure for solitaire or group play. The game includes the adventure book, rules, pieces and game board; and is compatible with GURPS(R) and the Fantasy Trip(R) (a.k.a. Melee and Wizard ).
