You DARE enter the Dark Tower?!? Peasants! Pffft....

About the adventure

You’re no hero. You're a PEASANT. Sure, maybe you'd love to be adventurer: a reaver, a cutpurse, a heathen-slayer, a tight-lipped warlock guarding long-dead secrets... seeking 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. Because you've heard there are treasures to be won... But that's in the future. IF you live that long... Because since time immemorial, you and your people have toiled in the shadow of the Cyclopean ruins, of mysterious origins and the source of many a superstition, where those ruins have always been considered a secret best left unknown by the folk of your hamlet. And now, something stirs beneath the crumbling blocks. Beastmen howl in the night and your fellow villagers are snatched from their beds. With no heroes to defend you, who will rise to stand against the encircling darkness? The secrets of Chaos are yours to unleash, but at what cost to sanity or soul?... We will start this campaign with a "funnel": the classic introductory adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics "Sailors on the Starless Sea", which pits a mob of level 0 adventurers against the legacy of the Chaos Lords and their corrupted hordes. Delving beneath the crumbling ruins, your characters discover ancient crypts, a starless sea, and an eldritch ziggurat, where death and treasure await in equal measure! Game play in the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game starts at 0 level: untrained, uneducated peasants. Most of your Level 0 characters will die pitiful deaths in this dungeon, so you will randomly create at least 4. Don’t get attached to them. Characters that survive their first dungeon then choose classes and become worth remembering! After that level 0 funnel, we'll play a couple other adventures for your Wizard, Thief, Cleric, Warrior, Dwarf, Elf or Halfling to level up to 3, picking up treasure and magic items along the way. And then we'll move to the (in)famous Dark Tower adventure, fully converted over to Dungeon Crawl Classics!
