An adventure for levels 8-12
Goodman Games expands its partnership with Wizards of the Coast with the third release in the
Original Adventures Reincarnated
line!
From a mysterious cave high in the Barrier Peaks, they come: savage raiders of unknown origin laying waste to castle and keep, leaving no survivors. The land is in turmoil and only a band of stalwart heroes dares to launch an expedition into the soaring mountains to stamp out this vile menace. What they discover in those lofty peaks is something beyond their comprehension. A danger spawned from the very stars above.
A crashed starship, buried for centuries beneath the Barrier Peaks, has awoken, and now its alien inhabitants—crazed robots, eerie androids, and even stranger things—endanger the world. The adventurers must confront these threats and navigate the unearthly interior of the wrecked starship, puzzling over and mastering alien technology to defeat their foes. If you’ve ever had the urge to zap an umber hulk with a laser rifle while commanding a robotic servant, this adventure is for you!
This tome is an homage to the original fantasy and science-fiction dungeon expedition that began decades ago with
S3: Expedition to the Barrier Peaks
. Herein you will find high-quality scans from multiple printings of the original first edition adventure module, plus commentary by gaming luminaries.
A full fifth edition conversion of the original adventure is included, as well as brand new additional adventure locations and a dungeon level to expand and develop the spaceship and the surrounding environs. This is the perfect framework for a fully playable extended dungeon delve, suitable for taking your fifth edition campaign in out-of-this-world directions, with a distinct old-school vibe.

Our Holiday Module for 2019!
A level 2 holiday adventure set in Lankhmar!
An unnatural night cloaks Lankhmar in perpetual gloom as unknown killers perform ritual murders on its rooftops!
When a specialist in the employ of the party turns up dead, they must investigate the murder to retrieve what is theirs. Unfortunately for them, doing so leads them into the web of a fiendish plot. Vile sorcery strives to resurrect one of the most feared Mingol warlords in Nehwon’s history!
Can the heroes stop this foul rite before it is too late or will unholy night reign forever in the City of the Black Toga?
Officially licensed from the estate of Fritz Leiber.

DCC #83: The Chained Coffin
was originally released way back in 2014. The boxed set proved immensely popular, and not just for the spinning map puzzle. The Appalachian-style fantasy setting of The Shudder Mountains, inspired by the works of Appendix N author Manly Wade Wellman, provides a unique place for your characters to adventure. Michael Curtis did a wonderful job of bringing The Shudder Mountains alive, and several supplemental volumes were published.
Now we are offering a hardcover book that compiles all material from the original
DCC #83: The Chained Coffin
boxed set, including all the stretch goal booklets, as well as much, much more:
- All content from DCC #83.1: Tales of the Shudder Mountains and DCC #83.2: Death Among the Pines
- The Shudder Mountain material published in several Gen Con Program Guides
- Moon Eyes and Fire-Flies, a new adventure set in the Shudder Mountains
- Buzzard Hollow, a new Shudder Mountains mini-setting
- Ma Bigginty’s Book of Backwoods Wisdom, a collection of inspiring material that will bring The Shudder Mountains to life in your game
And yes, the hardcover DOES come with the spinning puzzle wheel!
The hardcover edition features new art by fantasy legend Ken Kelly.

Stephen E. Dinehart IV
!
|
Good friend of Goodman Games and industry legend James M. Ward is back with an all-new game, and he's launching it on Kickstarter! So, if you’ve enjoyed the
Metamorphosis Alpha products from Goodman Games, you may enjoy this as well!
Here's what they have to say about it:
GiantLands is a new kind of tabletop role-playing game made with classic talent and new blood here in Wisconsin the birthplace of TSR and "Dungeons & Dragons", published by Wonderfilled, Inc. The creation of legendary game designer James M. Ward, whose first D&D book "God, Demi-Gods & Heroes" was a supplement to E. Gary Gygax's original "Dungeons & Dragons" famed brown box and Stephen E. Dinehart, professional game designer, writer, and attraction designer for theme parks like Universal's "Super Nintendo World" and "Evermore Park". Additional team members include classic TSR talent like Ernie Gary Gygax Jr., Kimber Eastland, Jeff Leason and, Larry Elmore, but we need your help to make it a reality, and keep building the team.
We're turning to Kickstarter to prove that there's an audience for this product, even though we don't currently have any fans we're hoping to start here, now. Maybe you'll think it sounds fun and want to get involved, each share and dollar helps. With your help we can not only bring this version of the game to reality but attract more interest and dollars to bring the vision of creating a game park and live-action events to life in the near future. We look forward to playing with you in our GiantLands!
So head on over to Kickstarter and show your support for them today!

THE VIZIER'S VIEWS: THE CAVE OF THE UNKNOWN!
The Martian Vizier returns to talk about Fifth Edition Fantasy!
|
Omolo the Impassive, cold fungal science-priest of distant Yuggoth (which we call Pluto a sit appears on our harmonic plane), gives nothing away to its players. Was it pleased at Koraz-hu, the Martian Vizier, for bringing a new player to the fold? As far from human as Omolo was, Koraz-hu could not imagine it was entirely displeased with Venusian Alvora’s presence, even if only through the power of the astralnet The woman projected almost a hypnotic vitality.
Fifth Edition Fantasy #16: The Cave of the Unknown
is a 3rd level adventure for Fifth Edition D&D. Author Michael Curtis presents an adventure which is primarily old-school in substance – the characters discover a cave system which allows for multiple avenues of exploration. The layout does not offer as many complicated options as
The Forgotten Hive
, but neither is it as linear as
The Drowning Caverns of the Fish God
. The adventure also gives PCs a chance to play around with alchemical substances, possibly creating an item of great power that can perform the functions of alchemists’ dreams – turn base metals into gold and prolong youth...

NEW RELEASES FOR DCC!
DCC Lankhmar! Third-Party Sci-Fi! Two new DCC Corebook Covers!
|
Four in one! That’s right, there are FOUR new books in our online store today for
Dungeon Crawl Classics
, and we’re happy to showcase them!
Two are new editions of our classic (pun maybe intended) rules, one is the latest out for
Lankhmar

DCC
that is out of this world!
Let’s take a closer look!

A level 2 adventure set in Lankhmar!
Skullduggery and sorcery in the streets of Lankhmar! Herein you will find two adventures set in the seedy underworld of the city.
In the first, the party must steal back a stolen sarcophagus from the grips of a macabre smuggling ring. The second concerns a band of questionable heroes thrown together by misfortune who must fight their way out of an unearthly wizard’s lair—a perfect way to start a new DCC Lankhmar campaign!
Both demonstrate that there’s no dearth of thrills, dangers, and, of course, wealth to be found in (and under) the city of Lankhmar. Do you have what it takes to make it through the night?
