From the back cover:'Behind every great hero is a story - a tale of brave deeds, cunning plans, self-sacrifice, and bold fortitude in the face of overwhelming odds.A Hero's Tale is a collection of nine short adventures, each slightly more challenging than the one before and suitable for any campaign world. Use them for a change of pace between larger quests or to sidetrack the heroes during major missions. Each adventure can stand alone, but if played in sequence they tell a connected, gradually unfolding tale of magic and chaos.' - BoardGameGeek
