Summertime at the Necropolis (Beginner Friendly Sandbox)
OSR Games, Dungeon Crawl Classics | Campaign
About the adventure
You’re no hero. You’re an adventurer: a reaver, a cutpurse, a heathen-slayer, a tight-lipped warlock guarding long-dead secrets. You head to the capital city for the summer festival of heroes. 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. Mekula's castle looms over the city. She is always watching. Nearby lies the Necropolis. A vast resting place older than city and the castle. There are treasures to be won deep underneath, and you shall have them. This campaign combines elements from various published works: The bloody wrath of Countess Mekula by LJ LaLonde, Temple siege by Julian Bernick, Tomb of the savage ings by Stephen Newton, E.M.D.T. 96: Treasures of the Necropolis by Gabor Lux, Tomb of immolation by Yog'du Games and The tomb of black sand by Swordfish Islands.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Dungeon Crawl
A “Dungeon Crawl” is a scenario where players navigate a dungeon or labyrinth-like environment for the entirety of the adventure. It emphasizes battling monsters, collecting loot, and avoiding traps to survive to the end!
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
