Cover Sketch

Scenario Setup: The quiet town of STONEHOLD lies within the strange frontier known as the “Spires Of Shadow.” It is quiet no more. Stonehold has been infected with goblins, sinister creatures born of supernatural corruption, bringing sorrow and misfortune. Townsfolk begin disappearing. To end their menace, delvers must find the lightless passages goblins haunt… and halt the real evil they may unleash. Six total sessions will be run for six different groups of players, each group having six seats available. Players take part in a classic OSR-style adventure that includes problem solving, mystery, and looming peril. Player groups will compete with each other, seeing how far they can get during a four hour time limit. Adventure progress scores points, the biggest rewards won by completing the entire scenario. But delvers beware: the scenario has a variable ending, having different point values based on outcome. Lords Of The Ebon Crystal is not for the faint of heart; an introductory adventure for 1st level characters, players are aspiring delvers seeking wealth, prestige, and power within the underworld known as the Dungeonmor. Dangers lurk within goblin passages explored, and a greater jeopardy awaits those plunging its darkest depths. Death prepares to dine on unsuspecting delvers, but fear not---another character card is at the ready. DUNGEONMOR is a d20 RPG, having a d20+mod, roll high, core mechanic. The system differs from other d20 rules by using a Powered-By-The-Apocalypse (PbtA) style roll resolution, as well as increased player agency to describe character actions as those seen in movies or as read in novels, comics, and anime. Game play is gritty, intense, and includes wounds, injuries, and effects that go beyond simple HP damage. The updated 2.0 rules are coming, but if you can't wait, try out the original, free alpha release: Dungeonmor! (Release #1) Image Look Familiar? Originally this adventure was to be titled Cold Silence Within Shadows, and was scheduled for free release last year. But work continually pushed this back, so the adventure will finally arrive at GaryCon.
