AN ORIGINAL TABLETOP MYSTERY · IN PREPARATION
The Missing
Tide Bell.
Painted toy boats line the quay. Paper lights sway above the green. The Lantern Float is almost ready—and the town's ceremonial bell has vanished.
A gentle coastal fantasy investigation for a GM and a group using their own roleplaying rules. Follow the evidence, ask sensible questions, and decide what to do with the answer.

Clues reward curiosity.
Essential information does not depend on a successful dice roll. The group can follow physical evidence, public records, a witness, or a direct question. Finding the answer leaves room for choices about trust and repair.
The planned pack
- A seven-page adventure PDF: five GM pages and five player handouts on two pages.
- Separate player and GM maps of Brindle Quay, as PDFs and original SVGs.
- A4 and US Letter editions with selectable text and embedded fonts.
- Permission to share handouts and player maps privately with your playing groups, including private virtual tables. Paid GMs may run it for their own groups.
Is it a fit for your table?
The story concerns embarrassment, public expectations, and repairing trust. It has no required combat or graphic violence. The missing bell is ceremonial; harbor safety does not depend on finding it.
This is an adventure resource, not a complete game. No character sheets, combat statistics, or third-party rules are included. No fixed session length is promised. This edition has not had a table playtest.
