The Helical Expeditions

A (WIP) Collection of One-Shot Adventures

The Helical Expeditions is a (WIP) collection of 2-3 page adventure modules designed as one-shots for the BREAK!! RPG system. Adventures are set across the diverse regions of the Outer World, featuring complete character write-ups, location details, story outlines, and fleshed-out Adventure Sites.

These adventures are generally united by a loose framing device -
the Helical Archive, a globe-spanning research organization that sends adventurers to investigate mysteries, protect endangered creatures, and explore forgotten ruins. Each module can be run standalone or woven into an ongoing campaign.

Some included adventures draw story concept inspiration from the excellent One-Shot Wonders adventures by Roll and Play Press.

The Helical Expeditions is an independent product published under BREAK!! RPG's Non-Commercial License and is not affiliated with BREAK!!'s creators or publishers.
