Dungeon Crawl Classics #17.5: War of the Witch Queen

ADD TO WISHLIST >

An Adventure for Character Levels 7-9

Remember the good old days, when adventures were underground, NPCs were there to be killed, and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches, weird campaign settings, or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good, solid dungeon crawl, with the monsters you know, the traps you fear, and the secret doors you know are there somewhere.

For as long as intelligent races have inhabited the Northlands, the stinking sinkhole known as the Demesne of Baba Yazoth has drawn wicked villains of every sort. Baba Yazoth belonged to an informal coven of witches whose domain extended the breadth and width of the Northlands. The coven was arranged by rank, the lower ranks belonging to witches of lesser abilities and the thirteenth rank occupied by a creature known only as the Crone. Because only one witch can lay claim to each rank, membership in the coven is highly coveted by spellcasters across the North. Few know what became of Baba Yazoth, and even fewer know what rank she held among the Thirteen, but when the old witch abdicated her place in the coven, it triggered an arcane war amongst some of the mightiest spellcasters in the North. Through a twisted web of treachery, broken alliances, and outright murder, a young sorceress named Kyleth triumphed over more powerful mages and sorcerers, seizing the title of Witch Queen and laying claim to the Demesne of Baba Yazoth. Sent on a mission to slay Kyleth the Witch Queen, the heroes head toward the icy reaches of the Northlands...

In northerly moors, evil witches are to be found. That might be enough to get the party heading that way... It is suggested that a well-balanced party is best for this adventure, but that there are some aspects best suited to a sorceror. If you don't [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
