Rescue of the Blackthorn Clan: A Couple's Adventure Module: OGL 5th Edition
Make Date Night an Adventure
Looking for an RPG specifically made for a couple to play together? We've got you covered. We have modules compatible with version 3.5 and 5th edition of the game that started it all, as well as Pathfinder.
We created modules where both people can be players and enjoy the unfolding story, not where one knows all and spells out the story for the other - Date Night Dungeons.
The goal is for the players to not only have a fun adventure but also to spark romance. It's perfect for date night, whether the players are just getting to know each other or have been together for years.
The Big Idea
The idea is that each partner is both GM and player, and mysteries unfold for both as the story moves forward. We've divided the adventure into four scenarios. Players are encouraged to switch GM duties for each scenario and to not read past the current scenario to avoid spoilers. That way, both partners get to be players, and the mystery lasts until the final scenario. This is a fleshed-out RPG module that is 5th Edition compatible and complete with locations, maps, backstories, character sheets, NPCs, and baddies.
Bring on the Romance
To facilitate the romance, we've also added a few extras, like Attraction Points, Turn-ons, and Pet Peeves. These keep your mind focused on the romance as our characters battle villains and solve mysteries. There are romance roll throughout. It's the dice, though, that decide if our characters fall for each other or can't wait to get rid of each other. Then again, isn't love always a roll of the dice?
The Story
the heir to the Blackthorn power and fortune is being held for ransom. Now it's up to the head of security at the manor to get the heir back. But when they learn that the kidnappers mean to kill the Thane as well, they must work together to find out who is behind the plot and why. They soon learn that things are far more sinister than they first appeared. Now they must foil the mastermind's evil plot before the planes of hell break loose - if they can.
So light some candles, set the mood, and let the adventure begin.

About the author
Catherine Thrush
43 books7 followersCatherine Thrush wrote and illustrated her first tween novel QUEST OF THE FAES (Pearl-Win Publishing 1985) at the age of eighteen. When QUEST was released she was majoring in Studio Art at the College of St. Benedict in Minnesota – which meant she was lucky enough to spend summers at speaking engagements and book signings instead of flipping burgers at Mickey D's.
After graduating she moved to California and started her own glass art business, which she ran for nearly twenty years.
Catherine also took up fencing and fenced competitively for over a decade. The father of the main character in her current historical fiction novel, Maestro Thurio DiCesare is based on her own fencing maestro, John DeCesare.
In the aftermath of the tragic events of 911 Catherine’s glass business dried up and she turned once again to writing. Her experiences as a woman fencer became a basis for her ongoing project, Lady Blade.
Lady Blade began life as an action/adventure screenplay. The screenplay won the 2004 Monterey County Film Commission's “Emerging Talent Award” and a consultation with Hollywood Script Consultant Linda Seger. Linda called it “an exciting story with very good action... a compelling character, a good theme to explore, and the opportunity for exotic and fascinating locations." Lady Blade placed highly in numerous screenwriting competitions and has been optioned twice.
The novel version was a finalist in the San Francisco Writer’s Conference Contest and a semi-finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Contest. Catherine is currently working on the prequel to Lady Blade.
Catherine and her husband Thomas are also co-owners of Urban Realms, a fantasy and RPG gaming supply business. Catherine draws and sells LotR style maps of real world places as well as designing gaming journals and supplies.
The couple lives, works, and games in San Jose, California along with their very naughty cat.

An amazing couples adventure. Both enjoyed being the DM and characters, story was very fun, & flowed nicely when switching roles.
