  • Intriguing puzzles to engage gaming groups
  • A valuable gem of historic significance and a perfect hook to new adventures
  • Consistant 5-star reviews including EZG's seal of approval

"I honestly didn't expect much from this module, seeing how often "old-school" is used as a synonym for "nothing new/creative" here - that's not the case here. Yes, the story is simplistic, there is not a grand mini-game or some other twist - but know what? The design-philosophy, much like in the excellent modules by Frog God Games oozes this sense of antiquity, of looming danger and death, of unpredictability and the NEED, not the option, to use your brain in order to survive. This is not dungeoneering for people who cry when their character dies. This a module that oozes old-school flair, that evokes a sense of accomplishment when completed and, while it is a harsh mistress, remains a fair sojourn - this is no meat-grinder, it is a hard, challenging module. Not Rappan Athuk-level hard, mind you, but hard. And boy do I like it for that - the use of hazards, traps (that are not disabled via 1 roll) and enemies make this not only a blast from the past that evokes nostalgia via its themes and design, it also makes this module a stellar first offering for the C-series. I'm completely and fully recommending this very cheap module and look forward to seeing how the rest of the C-line will hold up to my scrutiny. If what I've written here even remotely intrigues you and if you're looking for a well-written dungeon-exploration - here you go. My final verdict? 5 stars, endzeitgeist seal of approval."

A single level dungeon with 29 rooms/encounter sites and a nasty sting at the end. Thoroughly enjoyable! The booklet contains 2 coloured maps of the dungeon with one unlabeled, a definite improvement over the old style blue and white maps! [...]

There was a time when I first started gaming that our characters lived and died in dungeons. Death traps that kept us constantly on our toes. This adventure is an ode to those days in the 1970's when you could loose two or three characters in a weekend [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
