About

A short point-crawl adventure set in an abandoned dwarven city in a volcano. Inspired by GyromiteM.C. Kids, and Rampage

I set out to make exactly the kind of adventure I enjoy at the table: one with a light story framework and plenty of opportunity for chaos and emergent play. I hope you enjoy reading and playing this module. I welcome any and all feedback. I'm happy to revise this adventure and improve as a writer for next time. 

This project was an incredible opportunity to hone skills and develop new ones. I enjoyed flexing my writing muscles, and learning to create pixel art for the very first time. I was also brand-new to Affinity, and learned to do layout on the fly. 

What's inside

  • Area and setting description
  • Map
  • Key with mini location maps
  • Bestiary including NPCs and two new monsters
  • Random encounter and random treasure tables

Acknowledgements

I leaned heavily on a few resources in the making of this. Michael Putlack's  Creating and Adapting Monsters for Shadowdark RPG and Sersa Victory's Cyclic Dungeon Generation, cheers! Thanks to all of the wonderful and supportive people on the Shadowdark Discord. It was great to have all of the positive feedback and encouragement! I also want to thank Baron de Ropp of Dungeon Masterpiece for hosting this jam. As someone who is heavily competition-motivated, having a tight brief and timeline was an amazing motivator to create something! A big thanks to my Editor Heather Grey. Finally thank you to my brother for providing lots of frank feedback and encouragement when I sent him drafts.
