Each adventure package contains the adventure itself, the Adventure Journal your players will need to record their deeds, and an Adventure Roster. The Adventure Roster records certain basic information about the players and characters involved in one specific adventure session, and we'd like you to fill one out for each Dark Providence table you run. Once completed, these can be scanned and mailed to whdp_campaign@bellsouth.net or snail-mailed to the address on the form. We promise we won't spam you, sell your email address, or otherwise abuse your privacy - we just want to know who's playing and how the characters are developing as the campaign progresses.

Note that Dark Providence adventures never expire, so you'll always be able to catch up with the full storyline.

The first four Witch Hunter: Dark Providence adventures are introductions to the game and to the world, designed to be played in about three hours each. Other events are designed to be played in a four-hour time frame.

Dark Providence 1-01 - Storm Tide, by Brian Schoner

Hunting pirates is a job for the navy, not for Witch Hunters. But ghost ships are another matter entirely, and when Sir Henry Morgan asks for your assistance in putting such superstitious tales to rest – one way or another – it’s hard to say no. It is spring, 1689, in Port Royal, the capital of the English territory of Jamaica. A Witch Hunter: Dark Providence Introductory event.

Dark Providence 1-02 - Swans, by P. Dennis Waltman

Wrath is said to be the "love of justice perverted to revenge and spite." It goes hand-in-hand with Pride as two common Deadly Sins. These sins are deadly indeed for the village of Boswyck, not far from New Amsterdam, on a fine summer day in 1689. A Witch Hunter: Dark Providence Introductory event.

Now!Now!Now!Now!

Dark Providence 1-03 - Loss of Innocence, by Tim Chandler

Claims of witchcraft abound in Boston, Puritan capital of the New World. The Witch Hunters heed the call to mete out justice to the servants of the Adversary. But who is innocent, and who is guilty? A Witch Hunter: Dark Providence Introductory event.

Dark Providence 1-04 - It Came from the Woods, by Robert Farnsworth, Greg Ferguson, and Gail Reese

New London, Connecticut. A house burned to the ground. The parents found dead in the ruins. The children are missing. Have the Indians gone on a rampage? Is something more sinister at work? Maybe the stories children are told to get them to bed at night are coming true. You have been drawn to this coastal town for a reason. It is up to the Witch Hunters to find out what is happening in this sleepy New England town before more innocents die and the peace between the colonists and the Indians is broken forever. A Witch Hunter: Dark Providence Introductory event.

Dark Providence 1-05 - Age of Innocence, by Tim Chandler

In the city of Philadelphia, you can cut the tension with a sword. The colonists and the local Indian tribes are on the brink of war. With one wrong word from either side, the powder keg will explode. Is this the inevitable result of a clash of cultures, or is the Adversary pulling the strings and manipulating events to a more sinister end?

Now!Now!Now!Now!

Dark Providence 1-06 - Beasts of the Forest, by Greg Ferguson and Robert Farnsworth

"You bring darkness; it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl." Rumors filtering out of the Carolina Colony tell of colonists and savages being attacked and torn asunder by vicious beasts in the dark of night. The Governor of Carolina has posted £100 for the head of the beast, which is sure to bring all sorts of armed good-for-naught and scalawags.

Dark Providence 1-07 - Spurning Death's Touch, by Jason I. Gonding

It is the dead of summer, 1689, in the Colony of Virginia, and trouble is brewing. People are disappearing. Ancient rituals of the African slaves are being conducted in secret. The recent arrival of the Gypsies may just be coincidence. Maybe the savages to the west and their native practices are behind the disappearances? Whatever the cause, the Colony of Virginia is being touched by evil.

Dark Providence 1-08 - Dedication, by J. Wayne Parrish

The rededication of Notre Dame de Québec promises to be the biggest social event of the decade. The exiled Governor has returned to confront his rival, a centuries-old curse of the Adversary will come to pass, the first Bishop of the New World will take his final step toward sainthood, and the most respected ecumenical college on the continent will adopt a secret mandate. And that is all before the ceremony even begins! Set in the capitol of New France in the summer of 1689. May not be played after playing WH1-09 Consecration or WH-10 Revelation.
