"This is a GREAT dungeoncrawl!"
"So layered, so dense, so much stuff going on."
Dungeon Crawl in the Thirty Years' War
The Saint of Bruckstadt is a bizarrely baroque roleplaying adventure for up to 4 level 1-3 characters. The dungeon crawl, set during the Thirty Years' War, leads the players into the catacombs under the forgotten town of Bruckstadt.
The adventure was written with the Lamentations of the Flame Princess rulebook in mind, but is playable with any other old school rulebook.
What is it about?
Autumn 1631: Germany is gripped by a doomsday panic. Like wandering cities, armies and their retinue roam the countryside, devouring the granaries and robbing the farmers' livestock. In their wake: plague and famine. Large parts of the empire are depopulated, flourishing towns turn into charnel houses.
Bruckstadt has so far been spared by the war. Neither mercenary armies nor epidemics have reached the little town on the Katzbach. The inhabitants attribute this to the protection of Saint James, whom they honour every ten years with a festival. In 1631 it should have happened again, but the explosion of the town's powder store has buried the entrance to the saint's tomb.
The saint, the citizens are convinced, will therefore no longer hold his protective hand over Bruckstadt. Count Reuben Wolfsgrau is now looking for volunteers to help him find another way to the tomb of James. A way through the Roman catacombs, where dangers lurk from beyond the grave.
„Der Heilige von Bruckstadt ist abwechslungsreich und kann durch seinen offenen wie durchdachten Aufbau punkten."
"Fucking recommended."
