About the adventure
Korthuun, the Crypt of Bones A Shadowdark Megadungeon Campaign The dead do not sleep quietly in Korthuun. This is a deadly, old-school megadungeon crawl set in the infamous Crypt of Bones — a vast, ancient dwarven necropolis. Expect torchlit horror, brutal traps, ravenous undead, and the constant pressure of dwindling resources as you delve deeper into one of the most dangerous dungeons in fantasy gaming. Using Shadowdark RPG, we play fast, tense, and lethal. Character death is common and meaningful. Clever play, careful resource management, and bold decisions are rewarded. This is not a story on rails — it’s a living, breathing crypt that will chew up the reckless and richly reward those who survive. If you enjoy grimdark atmosphere, high-stakes exploration, classic megadungeon play, and the thrill of not knowing what horror waits around the next corner, this campaign is for you. Ready to test your courage against the Crypt of Bones? Apply now and bring your torch… while you still can.

How BWatford creates a safe table
Safety Tools Will Be Covered in Session #0 My Expectations as Your DM: Choices Matter: In this game, what you do really counts. If I warn you that doing something—like opening a mysterious box—might lead to trouble, think it through. We're here to have fun, so use your imagination and common sense. Your smart choices can lead to awesome outcomes! The Magic of Storytelling: I'm here to help tell a fantastic story, not just to enforce rules. If you come up with something cool or exciting, even if it's not in the rulebook, I might just say yes! This game is about making epic moments together, so if you enjoy being creative over strict rule-following, you're in for a treat. You're Part of the Story: You're not just moving through rooms; you're shaping the world around you. Unless I say otherwise, feel free to interact with everything around you to add to our story. Instead of just looking for what's next, tell me what you're doing, saying, or what you're aiming to achieve. If we need to roll dice, I'll tell you. For Example: Imagine you walk into a mysterious chamber. Instead of saying, "I search for stuff," you could say, "I gently touch the glowing crystal in the center, hoping it reveals a hidden door or message." This kind of interaction can lead to all sorts of cool adventures! This game is all about creating a memorable story together. Whether you're here to learn how to play or to explore new worlds, every choice you make can lead to an epic tale. Let's make this adventure one to remember!
