Dungeon Crawl Classics #6: Temple of the Dragon Cult
An Adventure for Character Levels 8-10
Remember the good old days, when adventures were underground, NPCs were there to be killed, and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches, weird campaign settings, or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good, solid dungeon crawl, with the monsters you know, the traps you fear, and the secret doors you know are there somewhere.
In Temple of the Dragon Cult, the characters are called in to pursue a dragon that the king's army was able to wound but not kill. It seems straightforward enough: the army tracked the dragon to its lair, and all the characters have to do is go in and kill it. But this dragon has a devoted cult of dragonblood followers who worship its every breath. Its lair is their temple -- and they'll fight to the death to defend their dragon-god...
Dungeon Crawl Classics can be integrated easily with any fantasy setting. If you enjoy this adventure, you might also enjoy the rest of the Dungeon Crawl Classics series.
Reviews
- Mortality.net: 4 stars. "The maps are well done (again in that pale blue I love) and appear to be extra tricky for the PCs to negotiate. Overall, it's a nice, focused dungeon crawl."
- Silven Crossroads: "DCC#6 is direct and to the point and the whole dungeon ties together well... If you're looking for an interesting and focused dungeon crawl, then Temple of the Dragon Cult is just what the doctor ordered. DCC#6 is also inspiring from a dungeon design perspective and even if it isn't what you are looking for, you can learn some design aspects from it."
