Through Monday, August 24 we present the all-new Dungeon Age Bundle 2, a fresh collection of old-school fantasy scenarios by novelist and designer Joseph R. Lewis in his long-running Dungeon Age Adventures series. Joseph’s ancient world of Harth is a classic sword-and-sorcery land of wizards, warriors, and monsters inspired by pulp fantasy authors like Jack Vance, Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, and Michael Moorcock. The works of wizards long past haunt all these evocative settings, and their lost treasures lure adventurers to gather their torches and ten-foot poles for dungeon crawls in the classic manner. Explore a jade palace battleground of undead armies – the vampire stronghold of Araveshti, city of a thousand towers, floating in the void – the Blue Bazaar and Silk Street Tunnel in Carcassay’s Spider Quarter – and the Temple of Whispering Eyes, lair of Uthov-Ka, mad priest of cosmic Chaos.
Joseph R. Lewis has self-published more than two dozen novels and dozens of Dungeon Age FRPG scenarios and settings. These tightly focused titles earn praise for their clean layouts, clarity, OSR-style terseness and flavor, and immediate zero-prep page-to-table utility. Unstoppable reviewer Bryce Lynch, at his venerable Ten-Foot Pole blog, lists many Dungeon Age titles – Orbital Vampire City, Carcassay: Titan Rat City, Lovely Jade Necropolis, Wicked Little Delves V1, and half a dozen older titles – that satisfy his exacting expectations. (Content notice: Bryce does curse a bit.)
A standalone follow-up to our first Dungeon Age Adventures Quick Deal in May 2023, this all-new bundle presents ready-to-run one-shot adventures (in three volumes of Wicked Little Delves) as well as wide-ranging sandbox campaigns like Carcassay: Titan Rat City and The Undying Sea that can keep your group busy for months. (And in theory you could explore Orbital Vampire City for months, but they’ll eat you first.) These succinct and elegantly written scenarios are written for Shadowdark, Old-School Essentials, Cairn, and Old School Revival B/X-style retroclones. Each adventure or setting fits easily into any ongoing fantasy campaign. You don’t need anything from the first Dungeon Age Bundle.
Pay just US$9.95 to get all eight complete titles in our Dungeon Age 2 Collection (retail value $58) as DRM-free .PDF ebooks, including the campaign settings Orbital Vampire City, Carcassay: Titan Rat City, and Lovely Jade Necropolis; the standalone seafaring RPG The Undying Sea (based on Into the Odd); and three volumes of one-shot, nine-room dungeon crawls for character levels 1-9: Wicked Little Delves V1, V2, and V3. We also include Harthbreaker, a short fantasy RPG rules set that adapts the Apocalypse Engine for adventures on the dying world of Harth.
This Dungeon Age 2 offer goes missing among the Morbid Mosquitoes in the Forest of Bones aboard the Orbital Vampire City of Araveshti Monday, August 24.
