At the Edge of Nowhere, a Deadly Power Rises!

Regardless of the forces or circumstances that have brought you to this forsaken part of the Purple Planet, your path is clear: forward to adventure!

Explore a hidden vale deep in the mysterious outback of the Purple Planet. Interact with bizarre cultures that battle in the shadow of an enormous metallic orb floating above a pitch-black lake of oily liquid, upon which sails an ancient wise one who might possess the answers you need, or who could be the key to your destruction!

Wrath of the Orb-Men! is a 30+ page digest-sized 3rd level Dungeon Crawl Classics adventure set on Goodman Games' and Harley Stroh’s amazing Purple Planet.

The Artist

We are thrilled to again be working with the amazing Matt Sutton (Misinkthrope) to create the look of Wrath of the Orb Men! Matt’s skills have made him an increasingly popular artist in the Dungeon Crawl Classics community and beyond, so he is finishing other work before embarking on our images. But I hope the examples of his work shown below will create excitement for what's to come. It also means you’ll be able to experience the visual development of the adventure through project updates as Matt produces them! They really are works of art.

Examples of Matt’s amazing work!

The Purple Planet Horde

What is "THE HORDE"?
You mean other than... "TERRIFYING"?!

We are proud to be part of a group of third-party publishers producing new works connected to Goodman Games' volume of Harley Stroh's amazing Purple Planet setting and adventure. During this BackerKit campaign, backers can get exclusive content when they support projects that are part of the horde...including this one!

Purple Planet Horde Goals:
As part of the Purple Planet "Horde", we are excited to offer community Achievement Rewards in connection with other Purple Planet campaigns, in addition to our own Stretch Goals.

THE HORDE GROWS STRONGER AS ITS NUMBERS GROW!

* If the entire horde funds (all Purple Planet 3PP projects), all backers of Wrath of the Orb Men! will receive an exclusive "Rune Lore" sheet, featuring some exciting new discoveries about these mysterious ancient symbols!



BACK THREE AND PLUMB NEW DEPTHS!
* Backers who support three Horde projects or more (including this one!), will receive EXCLUSIVE Drop-In one-page encounters from the backed projects. Don't miss ours, "Amongst the Bones," featuring an original illustration and map.

Check out all the members of the Horde!

About Purple Sorcerer Games

We love being part of the DCC community, and we were lucky enough to publish the very first 3rd party DCC adventure Perils of the Sunken City all the way back in 2012, and the fun continues! In addition to our best-selling adventures, we’ve been creating free Dungeon Crawl Classics tools since the Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG beta was released in 2011. Our popular Zero-Level Party Generator has produced millions of characters doomed to be ground up in DCC’s popular funnel adventures, and over the years we’ve added many utilities that thousands of DCC players rely on. (Including the Ennie-Award winning Crawler’s Companion game management app, the Sorcerer’s Grimoire spellbook utility, the Upper Level Character Generator, the Lankhmar Character Generator, and the Mutant Crawl Classics Generator).
