Tome of Adventure #5: DCC Horror
A level 0 adventure for DCC RPG.
“BURN THE WITCHES!”
A fanatical, starving colony is in turmoil and looking for someone to blame for their hardships! When the PCs are accused of causing the crops to fail, there becomes only one means to stay their death sentences: face the dangers of their savage island and recover the Holy Scythe of Mayflower stolen by the witch Abutit. If the PCs are successful, a ceremony of thanks will be served n their honor. If they fail, they will find themselves unwilling participants in the blood feast of the Gobbler Witch.
What do you get when you blend Thanksgiving, the Salem Witch Trials, and a healthy infusion of horror? You get the 2021 Holiday Adventure from Goodman Games!
Thematically then, what with its colonists, a ship called the Mayflower, a feast of turkey and cranberry sauce, the holiday in Dungeon Crawl Classics 2021 Holiday Module: Feast of the Gobbler Witch is Thanksgiving. However, it is quite a lot more than that given its length and the fact that it is a scenario for Dungeon Crawl Classics. Like a chef with a turkey baster, the author injects a squirt or two of Gothic horror to make the scenario Colonial Era Gothic Americana and another squirt or two of Arthur Miller to make it the scenario a Dungeon Crawl Classics version of The Crucible. After all, what else is a Character Funnel but a crucible for Zero Level player Characters?
