Tomb of the Apellomancer

 

My oldest son recently formed his first D&D club at school. He is teaching his friends how to play using Basic Fantasy RPG. And, like all first time DMs, he is figuring out running the game for himself. To help him out, I created a mid-sized dungeon for him: the Tomb of the Apellomancer.

This is a light-hearted funhouse dungeon featuring magic and traps themed primarily around writing and paper, and includes a GM's cheat-sheet for first-time GMs. It is written with Basic Fantasy in mind, but, is compatible with any other OSR game you might want to use with minimal fuss.

It hasn't just served my son, either; my wife has recently started a D&D club for students at the school where she works, and has placed this dungeon in her campaign world. She is expecting her students to raid it in the new year. 

I have it up on itch.io as a PWYW title. Personally, I am just happy to have people playing it, and encourage you to grab it for free. 

Get it in Itch.io now!
