Introduction Over on my Youtube channel the Dungeon Crawl Classics solo campaign is going well, but since I can't shoot the videos as often as I'd like I keep forgetting the rules and having to look them up during the sessions, leading to more editing time before I can get the videos online. I decided to start a DCC solo game in my free time, to play offline. This should help me get used to the rules and learn them a bit faster, plus I've been itching to play a traditional hexcrawl campaign lately too. This is a funnel adventure called The Ruined Keep. It's by Daniel J. Bishop and is available for free as part of Sanctum Secorum Episode 3 . I don't even know what that is, to be honest. I just googled free DCC funnels. I've already finished it but I'll transcribe it from my notebook here. The Adventure Twenty peasants of the small town of Grimbrook seek the Oracle of the Crystal Grotto, rumoured to be at the bottom of the nameless ruined keep near the town...
Introduction The Riddle of Steel is an RPG by Driftwood Publishing from the early 2000s which apparently became pretty popular on its release, generated a lot of interest and then faded away into obscurity. From what I can find online it seems the designers made some bad choices in terms of expansions for the game and the company went under. It's very gritty and brutal with rare but powerful magic that prematurely ages wizards who fumble their spells, and a very detailed combat system that reminds me of real life fencing. A bit like what I've heard about Harnmaster. The game is long out of print and very rare, and the company's website has disappeared. Luckily the Quickstart Rules are still online, so let's make a couple of characters and have them fight! Character Creation We're going to make two noblemen from the land of Cyrinthmeir, a rich feudal state ruled over by its king and the Gathering of Lords. The dastardly Count Ofrich has insulted Count Ansert's ...
In a distant world there is a place called The Badlands, ruled over by the evil overlord Baithorian. One day he decided to find a champion to be his personal retainer and bodyguard, so he announced a grand tournament. Participants would fight to the death in front of his dreadful court, with the winner of the tournament crowned his personal protector and showered with riches and respect. They would fight almost naked with naught but rags to cover their modesty. They would fight with weapons randomly chosen for them and be rewarded with a piece of armour for each fight they won. Fights would take place on the seventh day of each week, and survivors would be provided with healing while they awaited their next duel. It would not be fair in any way. Introduction This is my second attempt at a Mythras tournament after I tried a while ago using Dark Sun as a setting. My upcoming Mythras Classic Fantasy campaign will feature Baithorian as the bad guy and the winner of this tournament as ...
