Project Update: The Carnivorous Cauldron Awaits!
As Mega Dungeon Month creeps closer and closer, we figured it was a good time for an update on our next project: The Carnivorous Cauldron.
What is The Carnivorous Cauldron?
The Carnivorous Cauldron is an 8th-level 5E adventure and a 4th level DCC RPG adventure that can stand alone, or serve as a weird introduction to the Castle Whiterock mega-dungeon. Goodman Games generously reached out to those of us active in the third-party publishing world to ask whether we would be interested in producing materials to support their Castle Whiterock campaign.
The DCC and 5e versions may tell the same story, but they do it in their own way. This isn't just a stat-block swap. We've worked to capture the distinct flavor of both systems, not just in the writing, but the art, maps, and layout are all attuned to their system.
What is Castle Whiterock?
Castle Whiterock is "a classic castle-themed mega-dungeon. This huge boxed set holds books, poster maps, and more than 700 pages of adventure content. The challenges herein can fuel a campaign for years. The 5E boxed set takes 5E characters from 1st through 15th level, and the DCC RPG edition takes DCC RPG characters from 1st through 7th level."
What is Mega Dungeon Month?
"For the first time ever, the titans of RPG, Goodman Games, Kobold Press, Monte Cook Games, and Explore Dungeons, descend together into a single, epic collab-funding event. An entire month-long celebration of dungeons at their most dangerous, deadliest, and most dazzling. Expect towering tomes packed with peril, treasure hoards beyond imagining, and unforgettable encounters forged by the greatest minds in modern RPGs."
But what is The Carnivorous Cauldron—really?
The Carnivorous Cauldron is a weird, fun adventure set in a twisted subterranean garden vault filled with Three-eyed goblins, psychic flowers, plant people, un-dead botanists, and of course... a carnivorous cauldron.
The Carnivorous Cauldron can be dropped into any subterranean campaign, run as a one-shot, or used in conjunction with Castle Whiterock.
