The compendium, entries, and Winner's Circle documents are available on Gumroad (live now) and on DriveThruRPG (live now).  It is set as 'pay what you want' on Gumroad for the time being.  There is no pressure or expectation.  The proceeds will help cover website costs and prize pools for future events.

This quick one page dungeon was created for one of our family sessions. It took us two and a half hours to play through in one of our recent Sunday afternoon games. It can be run as kids friendly adventure, or turn into something far more sinister for adult players."

The Tomb of Krell
A lonely mound of dirt and grass. Stone doors, crumbling. Ancient weapons litter the ground, forgotten. All that remains of Krell, Warlord of the Seven Mountains, and his possessions are entombed within. At the height of the New Moon strange fires were spotted upon the barrow and the locals are worried. Animals have been going missing and suspicious travelers have been sighted along the road. When the corpses of livestock were found exsanguinated, the local priest hired the characters to defeat the evil within the tomb. 


The Tomb of Krell is a twelve room dungeon where a dark cult has set up their headquarters; seeking a blessing from the long dead Krell. Undead and cultists are the primary antagonists and the dungeon has a fair amount of treasure, including two magic items. This dungeon can be dropped into a generic fantasy campaign wherever a barrow might have lain undisturbed until recently or be run independent of any campaign as a one-shot.

The Crumbling Temple
"A grand temple to the dragon goddess Tiamat was erected on an isolated mountain peak, its existence a closely guarded secret. Word of the shrine reached devotees of Bahamut who staged an attack. The forces of the Platinum Dragon converged on the temple, slaughtering all within. A great earthquake summoned by Bahamut ripped a void into the mountain, swallowing the temple whole, leaving no trace on the surface except a shattered mountain peak.

A mining party from a dwarven city accidentally uncovered the temple during their operations. Both the original mining party and the subsequent rescue team have not been seen since they entered. The mining operation was put on hold, and word of a curse has begun to spread around the city. Your party must enter the temple, find the truth of what happened to the lost dwarves, and uncover what lurks within the Crumbling Temple."
