[Purple Duck Games] AL 5: Stars in the Darkness

Post by Mark_Gedak »

Purple Duck Games Presents!

AL 5: Stars in the Darkness by Daniel J. Bishop (Raven_Crowking).

In millennia past, the ancestors of the elves protected the stars as they followed their courses, for there are wolves in the outer dark. Yet what manner of creature would dare to consume stars as though they were sheep in the field? And what has become of the ancient starherds who once stopped such monsters? For such a monster is back - Urstah, the Star-Drinker. Stars are disappearing from the night sky, and with the loss of those stars, luck is being drained from the world. Your luck. Dare you enter the caverns, face the star-drinker, and release the stars in darkness?

Stars in the Darkness is a DCC adventure designed for four to eight, third level characters, that can easily be dropped into your campaign. In it, characters seek to stop an ancient evil from arising, with possibly devastating effects should they fail. This is our largest, and most epic, adventure for DCC to date.

All products in the Adventure Locale line present one or more dungeons that can be quickly picked up and used for a session of the Dungeon Crawl Classics Role Playing Game.

As the author, I certainly think that you should buy this adventure. It took a long time to write, and I am sure that there were points where Mark was pulling out his hair wondering if it would ever get done. On the other hand, it takes far less time to play, and has some very nice (I hope) encounters in it as well as (I hope) a monster or two which your players will not like at all, at all. :twisted:

We playtested this one and it's fantastic. The most original idea for an adventure (and a hook that cannot be denied) I've seen in a long long time. My players really enjoyed it.

Thanks.

I am thinking about creating a special (read: free) product to give away to anyone who tells me what they thought about one of the adventures I have published....from any publisher. Running a game is social, but writing and then sending these things out into the world is sort of lonely.
