DCC 52: Chronicle of the Fiend (3e)
 |
This special tournament module was used for the Fourth Annual Dungeon Crawl Classics Open Tournament at Gen Con Indy 2007. It includes the official tournament scoring system¸ pregenerated characters¸ and illustrated player handouts. Four apprentices of a venerable hedge mage return from running errands to discover that their master's tower has been burned to the ground! Arming themselves with the meager equipment undamaged in the fire¸ they set out to rescue him. Thus begins a series of adventures that stretches many years¸ as the young servants mature into mighty heroes and finally confront their master's killer. This adventure module was originally played as a three round tournament with level 0 characters in round one¸ level 8 characters in round two¸ and level 10 characters in round three. In home play¸ the three adventures can be spread over an ongoing campaign.
Three Linked Adventures for Levels 0-10
Remember the good old days¸ when adventures were underground¸ NPCs were there to be killed¸ and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics adventures don't waste your time with long-winded speeches¸ weird campaign settings¸ or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good¸ solid dungeon crawl¸ with the monsters you know¸ the traps you remember¸ and the secret doors you know are there somewhere.
