A game in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system led by Mihailo Tešić.
The news of the Lord Ancestor's passing has spread fast and wide. His lands, once fecund and populated, are now shrouded in almost perpetual darkness, his rich fields and forests now travesty of unnatural overgrowth, his smallfolk turned to brigands or worse. Stories tell of the dead restless in their graves, of beasts acquiring the faculties of men, and of horrible secrets buried deep underneath the lonely Ancestor's mansion, which still stands there, perched on a ledge overlooking the moors and dark waters of the lake. But stories also tell of Ancestor's incredible magic and his vast treasures, now scattered across his vast holdings - and of an heir who has emerged to reclaim them. And all the stories, news and gossip agree on one point: the heir needs heroes noble, adventurers intrepid or bravos foolhardy enough to venture into the Darkest Dungeons!
If you know the video game Darkest Dungeon, you know what this is. If you know DCC, this mashup features 15 new classes, all from the basic video game, and rules for stress, light and inventor, to evoke the feel. And monsters. Lots of them.
Players should build level 1 characters ahead. There is an online file with rules, including all 15 character classes, to be shared with the players, as well as a character sheet they can fill or print out.
This game will be best for players who are familiar with the system.
This game will balance silliness with seriousness and lean a little toward combat over role play.
This game will be hosted on the con’s Discord server and spectators will be allowed.
