Trail of a Princess: An Opportune Tip is a fast-paced micro-adventure for the Middara tabletop RPG, designed to be inserted into Act 1 of the Unintentional Malum campaign. Players take on the role of Shayliss Arsen as she teams up with an old flame to locate her missing sister, Princess Nightingale. Your decisions will guide the future of Elenia—or at least the survival of the Arsen princesses. Requires Middara: Unintentional Malum Act 1 to play. Includes new tokens, loot, combatants and adventurers to bring the adventure to life. WHAT ARE MICRO ADVENTURES? Micro Adventures are shorter tales that fill in the gaps of the stories from the Core Games and Adventure Expansions. They represent all the stories happening behind the scenes. Each one plays a small part in the overall pictures of our narrative and world. They help to explain not only possible holes in the plot, but also to tie up events that transpire in other products. Unlike Adventure Packs, their larger counterpart, Micro Adventures contain only a single booklet of narrative and Encounters. —description from the publisher
