Dungeon Crawl Classics #100: The Music of the Spheres is Chaos - Boxed Set (DCC DUNGEON CRAWL CLASSICS)

Eons ago, a brotherhood of mad philosopher-kings led an army of slaves into the heart of a mountain, bearing a legendary treasure-hoard: coffers spilling with blazing gems, strongboxes bright with gold, and the jeweled idols of a thousand gods. They were never seen again. Today, the once-gleaming domes at the top of the world have fallen victim to time and glaciers. The once-imperious halls are coated with dust and ice, and the memories of the fabled treasure hoard and the heretical Theophages have been lost to antiquity.

However, deep within the mountain's heart, the flames of Chaos continue to sputter and flare. The legacy of the God Eaters is drawing to a close, and with each thunderous turn of the Alembic Key, meteors streak the sky and prophets fling themselves from the turrets of high towers. In the alleys and palaces, all know that the hour of the dragon will soon be upon them.

Can you and your companions master the mysteries of the God Eaters in time? Or will you, like so many others before, succumb to the Music of the Spheres?

The boxed set for this DCC RPG adventure is bursting with puzzles, foes, and magic. At the heart of it is the God Eaters' grand alchymical experiment, with its spinning alembic and rotating elemental spheres, represented by a large game board and four separate spinning maps.

The 112-page adventure booklet introduces hitherto unknown monsters, perils, and traps lurking in the forgotten corridors, ready to bring a quick end to overconfident explorers. Players will have the opportunity to study and manipulate the fabled Alembic Key, a relic rife with Theophagic sigils and zodiac signs. Rotating the key spins the dungeon, transforming the PCs and altering reality itself.

The player handout booklet, with over 40 illustrations, provides a deeper understanding of the Alembic, its elemental spheres, and the terrors within the dark halls, as well as the infamous Sheaves of Chaos. The Bookmark of 4 Parts is a tool for the judge to reference the PCs' own changes imposed by the Spinning Map.

This boxed set, designed with the judge in mind, captures the magic and wonder that fans of Harley Stroh's work have come to expect from a DCC RPG adventure. You won't mistake this dungeon for any other, as it is a unique and immersive experience that goes far beyond the sum of its parts.
