Advanced Adventures MEGA

In January 2023 we presented the new Advanced Adventures Megabundle, featuring all 43 Old School dungeon crawls from Expeditious Retreat Press. These 43 short scenarios – dungeon crawls inspired by the earliest versions of Dungeons & Dragons – show off the Old School Revival style: tools, not plotlines; rulings, not rules; a gamemaster who doesn’t railroad players onto a prearranged script but lets them sink or swim through their own actions. Encounters aren’t necessarily “balanced,” and outcomes are seldom scripted. Characters who don’t use their heads usually wind up losing them.

Designed for the open-license OSRIC system (the “Old School Reference & Index Compilation,” a free retroclone of First Edition AD&D), these Advanced Adventures modules adapt easily to any Old School fantasy RPG such as Old-School Essentials, and they fit smoothly in your ongoing campaign to let your player characters ramp from level-1 zeroes to level-10 heroes.

There were eleven complete titles in this Advanced Adventures Megabundle‘s Starter Collection (retail value $70) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks. Each link in this list leads to the individual module’s DriveThruRPG page with more information:

#01: The Pod-Caverns of the Sinister Shroom
#02: The Red Mausoleum
#03: The Curse of the Witch Head
#04: Prison of Meneptah
#05: The Flaming Footprints of Jilanth
#06: The Chasm of the Damned
#07: The Sarcophagus Legion
#08: The Seven Shrines of Nav’k-Qar
#09: The Lost Pyramid of Imhotep
#10: The Lost Keys of Solitude
We also included the 2008 monster manual Malevolent and Benign I and, as a courtesy to customers, the free OSRIC rulebook.

Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got our entire Bonus Collection (worth an additional $210) with all 33 remaining AA modules from #11: The Conqueror Worm through #43 The Warrens of Zagash, and hitting many highlights of the AA line including #15: Stonesky Delve, #23: Down the Shadowvein and #24: The Mouth of the Shadowvein, and both White Dragon Run scenarios. Again, here are links to each title’s DriveThru RPG sales page:

(Note: In February 2017 we presented an Advanced Adventures Bundle of 15 selected AA modules with a total retail value of $93. All 15 of those modules were also in this offer. This offer’s 30 remaining titles, all new to the Bundle of Holding, had a total retail of $187.)
