One Day Left on OSR Sale. Here’s What I’ve Grabbed

Like many grognards I took advantage of that OSR sale going on and I grabbed only a few things since most of the stuff that I wanted I had already bought. I even splurged and grabbed some hard copies. And yes. I am on a Dungeon Crawl Classics kick.

Purple Sorcerer Games is really noted for the Crawlers Companion. It’s tool that everybody who runs or plays DCC needs to download and use. I’ve heard awesome stuff about their adventures so I figured it’s about time that I grabbed a couple of their classics up and I’m not disappointed.
Escape from the Shrouded Fen is a 0-Level Funnel/1st Level Hex Crawl. Like so many great adventures, there aren’t any stock monsters in it. Everything the PC’s are going to face is going to just different enough that there will be surprises. Also, this is a really tough adventure even by DCC standards. That’s not a bad thing. While there is some very strong and obvious “Go this or else” signs, the PC’s still have the freedom to make those decisions and will probably suffer a horrible death. Some might consider that railroady but this is a DCC funnel. You rolled up those 0-Level’s to go out and try to make it the deadly business of Dungeon Crawling not go back to gong farming. With all that being said, if the PC’s chose the wrong path, ignore some obvious clues, and miss the subtle ones, then there’s probably going to be at least one TPK. But wait there’s more…

I also picked up the Sunken City Omnibus. I’ll admit that I haven’t had time to sit down and read Sunken City yet (I’m busy gathering my resources for impending Mutant Crawl Classics release) but I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. Here’s what’s cool about both of these. The mighty Purple Sorcerer throws in some cool and useful extras into the PDF’s. Handout’s. Extra notes. Write ups for extra things list Patrons. And paper mini’s. So what can I say other than “Way cool”.
I’m very pleased with these adventures. And yes I’ll be buying more. Til next time. Roll Dice. Have Fun. Kill Monsters. Take Their Stuff.
