Great for All Gamers: Both the funnel and level one adventure, Race Against Flame and Where Demons Roost, have been designed to help teach the Dungeon Crawl Classics system to new players and judges, while also being thoroughly entertaining to experienced gamers.
Different Styles of Adventure: Each adventure has its own unique feel! Different environments, monsters, challenges, and "dungeon design approaches" make them all stand out and keep everyone interested.
Easy to Run: References to other sections within the book always include page numbers! Expect thorough hyperlinking and useful bookmarks in the PDF! There will be appendices for optional rules and table locations, a glossary of notable items, and annotated versions of the maps to make running the adventures as easy as possible.
Once we reach our Funding Goal, we have some big plans for Stretch Goals! Help us get there. If we blow through these goals, we'll reveal some secret ideas we have for more!
These adventures have been fully playtested! Bear witness "chaos campaign" to what kind of awfulness can happen when you send bad guys through the campaign! Be warned! The PCs are definitely "the baddies". Please note that this actual play has no "production value" beyond a normal online game.
Shipping will be charged during the pledge manager phase, after the fundraising campaign is completed. It is estimated around $10 for most backers. We expect products to ship by the end of July 2025. Due to complexity of international shipping, we are only shipping within the USA. The book will be later available through Goodman Games and limited retail distribution. PDFs will be fulfilled through DriveThruRPG.
