From Introduction: It takes a certain breed of hero to be unafraid to face the many dangers in the realms. These people are adventurers, roaming the lands looking for opportunities for fame and fortune. Their lives are filled with noble quests, epic journeys and titanic struggles. Despite this, when travelers meet and gather round the fire - either in a welcoming tavern or in a remote camp in the wilderness - the tales they tell are of the strange events, the chance meetings, the seemingly inconsequential oddities that they have experienced. Tales from the Trail 1 is a collection of Critical Hits encounters, each one based around just such an unusual event, person or place. Originally released individually, the encounters in this collection are the kinds of curious stories that adventurers remember. Each episode in this popular series provides just enough detail for a single session's play.
