Operation Unfathomable

Post by ragboy »

If you haven't seen this adventure (and you probably haven't -- it's in Knockspell #5), I highly recommend you go out and get it. It's a Swords and Wizardry ruleset module, but definitely has the "DCC feel." Written by Jason Sholtis... so you know the art is cool.

High points: Fungal garden experimentation, A giant flying ball of snakes with delusions of grandeur, a flying saucer, an entire culture of tiny people living in an ice cave.

I played in an online version of this adventure with Jason as the DM (though it was already beyond the published areas), and then ran out and found it to run at home. We've run two sessions, and it's great fun.

is the whole issue dedicated to the module or only 10 pages or so? If its a megadungeon that looks cheap at 5.00.

It's not a single issue devoted to any one thing. I don't have that issue, but I know that in general FIGHT ON! was designed to be a bunch of smaller articles all bound together. I'd guess we're looking at a dungeon which is 10 pages or fewer.

Looking at my copy of the pdf, the adventure is 21 pages long, so about the same size as many modules.

It's a full adventure, with lots of room for expansion -- it's basically a section of the "underdark" with lots of connecting passages that go off into the Judge's imagination.

So far, we've gotten three sessions out of the adventure as written. I'm currently developing an X-plorers adventure based on something that happens within the adventure.... very fun.
