d&d bx gothic horror dungeon crawl
In reply to Ichno (msg # 3):
I suppose that flavourwise there may be some similarity to LotFP.
Here's what I have for an introduction:
The cursed ruin of Castle Hellgate sits atop an ancient blasted heath at the heart of the desolate wasteland known only as Whitemarsh. About it a shroud of pale mist rises from the damp earth, writhing and coiling like a nest of hungry serpents. Yellow sulphurous lights glow and pulsate in the eerie, sepulchral gloom. Unnatural things walk abroad...
Mwah hah hah hah!
Castle Hellsgate is a horror-themed dungeon crawl using the Old School Essentials Basic Rules. Its influences include the weird fiction of of C.L. Moore, Clark Ashton Smith and H.P. Lovecraft plus Edgar Allen Poe, Arthur Machen and Hammer Horror.
