In December 2024 we revived the May 2022 Fifty-Dungeon Megabundle with more than four dozen FRPG scenarios in the original Dungeon Crawl Classics line from Goodman Games for the d20 System. From 2003 to 2007 Dungeon Crawl Classics captured the Old School Revival spirit in more than 50 adventures published for Dungeons & Dragons 3.x and its successors under the Open Game License. (In 2012 Goodman published a free-standing DCC RPG, which has a separate product line not part of this offer.)
This revived Megabundle belied its “Fifty-Dungeon” name – it actually presented FIFTY-EIGHT DCC adventures published 2003-07, arranged to ramp smoothly from 1st to 21st level. Written by popular designers including Monte Cook, Rob Schwalb, and Harley Stroh, these scenarios all work great with D&D 3.5, Pathfinder, and their descendants. These standalone, world-neutral DCC adventures are 100% dungeon crawls, with bloody combat, intriguing mazes, and no NPCs who aren’t meant to be killed. The monsters you fear, the traps you dread, and the secret doors you know must be there somewhere – they’re all here, all of them, plus the Castle Whiterock campaign, the Gazeteer of the Known Realms setting books, and play aids – an incredible US$572.50 retail value for a spectacular bargain price.
There were no less than twenty-nine titles in this revived Fifty-Dungeon offer’s Low-Level Collection (retail value $254.50) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks:
- Two 20-scenario compilations: #29 The Adventure Begins (1st-level) and 48 The Adventure Continues (4th-level)
- Ten introductory adventures for 0- and 1st-level player characters: 0 Legends Are Made, Not Born, 1 Idylls of the Rat King, 11 The Dragonfiend Pact, 24 Legend of the Ripper, 28 Into the Wilds, 31 The Transmuter’s Last Touch, 41 The Lost Arrows of Aristemis, 42 The Secret of the Stonearm, 44 Dreaming Caverns of the Duergar, and 45 Malice of the Medusa
- Thirteen scenarios for character levels 3-6: 3 The Mysterious Tower, 7 The Secret of Smuggler’s Cove, 16 Curse of the Emerald Cobra, 20 Shadows in Freeport (by Robert J. Schwalb, designer of Shadow of the Demon Lord), 23 The Sunken Ziggurat, 26 The Scaly God, 27 Revenge of the Rat King, 34 Cage of Delirium, 36 Talons of the Horned King, 37 The Slithering Overlord, 43 Curse of the Barrens, 47 Tears of the Genie, and 49 Palace in the Wastes
- Four useful play aids: 9 Dungeon Geomorphs, 14 Dungeon Interludes, 39 DM Screen and Adventure, and 46 The Book of Treasure Maps
Those who paid more than the threshold (average) price also got this revival’s entire High-Level Collection with twenty-seven more titles worth an additional $318:
- The 700-page campaign set 51 Castle Whiterock (and the companion adventure 51.5 Sinister Secret of Whiterock)

- Eleven scenarios for levels 10-21: 4 Bloody Jack’s Gold, 12.5 Iron Crypt of the Heretics, 13 Crypt of the Devil Lich, 15 Lost Tomb of the Sphinx Queen, 18 Citadel of the Demon Prince, 21 Assault on Stormbringer Castle, 22 The Stormbringer Juggernaut, 30 Vault of the Dragon Kings, 30.5 Trek From the Vault, 32 The Golden Palace of Zahadran, and 33 Belly of the Great Beast

Can you simply list the modules that are included in the top level, please? I can’t tell if I’m buying DCC #1 through #50 here (wihich would be great), or some collection of bits and pieces.
Wikipedia lists your modules here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Dungeon_Crawl_Classics_modules There are several “point five” releases, inlcuding at least one marked as a conference exclusive. Do we get these ones?
Thanks.
