Dungeon Crawl Classics

You’re no hero.

You’re an adventurer: a reaver, a cutpurse, a heathen-slayer, a tight-lipped warlock guarding long-dead secrets.

You seek gold and glory, winning it with sword and spell, caked in the blood and filth of the weak, the dark, the demons, and the vanquished.

There are treasures to be won deep underneath, and you shall have them...

The blinding blackness of the underworld held back only by the sputtering light of your candles, lanterns, and torches–dim points of light in a vast ocean of darkness.

Dank stone walls close in around you and the weight of earth and stone above grinds down on a maze of corridors, galleries, vaults, tombs, caverns, and ancient fortresses.

You trespass in the domains of long extinct subterranean peoples, the histories of their underworld unclear or unknown, their wealth abandoned and unclaimed.

The darkness is full of death, yet it draws fools and fortune hunters with whispered intimations of gold for the plundering, only to devour them.

The monuments to the dead are strewn about. Melted candle stubs, scattered and tarnished coins, and mummified corpses clad in rusted mail laying forgotten in dusty endless halls…

Remember when fantasy role-playing was new and unpredictable? When you didn’t know what a monster might be able to do or how a wizard’s spell might manifest? That time when inspiration came from classic sword & sorcery paperbacks, cheap comic books, and bad movies instead of the latest RPG sourcebook? Those days are back! Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG adventures return to those wild times when role-playing games were uncharted territory and even the dice were strange. Each adventure is designed to be exciting and mysterious, challenging you with monsters you’ve never before seen and magic you don’t know if you can trust. Throw off the expectations of the ordinary and get ready for adventures undreamed of!
