Quick Delve #1: Milk — Out Now

Our first Quick Delve is out in the wild! Milk, a short and surreal adventure for levels 2–4, is now available in print and PDF—and yes, the print version is also on sale at Exalted Funeral!

Quick Delves are compact, low-prep adventures designed to run in just 1–2 sessions. Each zine-style booklet includes everything you need to dive straight into the action: factions, hooks, NPCs, maps, and detailed locations—all laid out in signature OSE style.

The first Quick Delve is a bite-sized mystery by Vasili Kaliman, illustrated by DC Stow. Players descend into caverns dripping with milk to investigate the fate of the realm’s favourite chocolate truffles and confront the dastardly villains behind their disappearance.

Get a sweet deal on Milk today!
