Long ago, three eccentric dwarven scientists, shunned by their more conventional brethren, found a remote corner of the underworld in which to conduct their under-botanical experiments.

Grimtar, Vamshal and Korgold ventured deep beneath what was Castle Whiterock, to an empty cavern with fertile ground for growing mushrooms, mosses and other under-plants, finding it a perfect cave complex to house their laboratory.

Unbeknownst to his companions, Grimtar, the leader, had a secret agenda. He sought to master the secrets of un-death by becoming the horrible plant-based fleur-de-lych. Having gathered and grown the components for this ritual, he slew his comrades and completed the ritual, transforming himself into something horrific...

In the ensuing time, the exotic under-plants of the canyon have run riot, mutating into all sorts of exotic strains. 

Three-eyed goblins, psychic flowers, plant people, un-dead under-botanists, and a carnivorous cauldron (among other things) await you in this Castle Whiterock tie-in for DCC RPG and Fifth Edition brought to you by Explore Dungeons.

Heroic Adventure! - The Carnivorous Cauldron is available in both DCC RPG and Fifth Edition (5e) versions. 

If you prefer your adventures a little more old school, Julian Bernick's DCC RPG version is for 4-6 PCs of 4th level and features cover art and classic B&W interior art by industry veteran Dan Smith along with traditional DCC style painted maps by Brett Hess.

On the other hand, if Fifth Edition is more your jam, Scott Moore's 5e version is intended for 4-6 PCs of 8th level and tuned for a more modern gameplay aesthetic and is filled with gorgeous color art and maps by Raven Evermoor.

Pick whichever style of gameplay suits you, or get both!

In addition to the adventures, we also offer 24" x 18" printed poster maps and our Seeds of (mis)Fortune dice sets (7 dice for 5e or 14 dice for DCC RPG). The DCC set also includes a custom magic item"Seeds of (mis)Fortune" insert, written by Julian Bernick.

Pledge levels are simpler than they look. We have two main products, the 5e book and the DCC RPG book. To support these we also have maps and dice.

A project like this is the result of the combined efforts of a number of wonderful people.

For the DCC RPG version, a big Thank You to Julian Bernick for taking my (Chris Williams) initial weird idea and making it into something so much better (and weirder). Thank you Dan Smith for the great cover and interior art. Thank you Brett Hess for turning Julian's "chicken scratch" maps into works of art. And of course, Thank You Raven Evermoor for taking all of the various parts and turning them into an actual product.

And for the Fifth Edition (5e) version, another big Thank You to Scott Moore for his wonderful conversion work, taking it beyond a simple "statblock swap" and really making it FEEL like 5e. Thank you to Raven again, for all her tireless work creating the cover and interior art, AND the color map, AND putting it all together into a cohesive product that looks and feels completely different than the DCC RPG version, while still maintaining the same concept and story.
