The Sorcerer’s Fate by Nerdronomicon
The Sorcerer’s Return
SYSTEM: Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG
PRODUCT TYPE: softcover adventures
RETAIL PRICE: $15 each
DESCRIPTION: The Sorcerer’s Fate is a zero level funnel filled with dark themes and mayhem. The poor PC village rejects have no idea what they are in for as they face challenges far beyond their understanding. From the hills to the north came a shockwave of horrific screams that shattered windows and terrorized the villagers. A band of sturdy townsfolk set off to investigate a week back, and they have not returned. The less sturdy PCs follow their trail north to defeat the menace themselves and die trying. In The Sorcerer’s Return the first level PC village rejects receive a message: “The Great Verrückter requests your presence. It is a matter of great urgency. There will be cake.” It must be a cruel joke—the sorcerer was killed weeks ago when one of his wild experiments went horribly wrong. However, a treasure trove of valuables in the manor waiting for those PCs brave enough to dig and seize it. And there will be cake.
