About the adventure

Hundreds of miles from the mainland, surrounded by dangerous waters, lies an island known only as the Isle of Dread.

The Isle of Dread is an adventure for character levels 3 to 7. We will be using Old School Essentials rules. The Isle awaits! Will you be able to find the lost plateau and discover the secrets of the Isle of Dread?
