- SYSTEM: Castles & Crusades
- PRODUCT TYPE: adventure module
- RETAIL PRICE: $10.99
- DESCRIPTION: An adventure designed for a minimum of four PCs of various classes with an average of 8th level. A cleric is important to have and a paladin would be useful as well.

2 Worms 2 Furious by Exalted Funeral
- SYSTEM: Dungeon Crawl Classics RPG
- PRODUCT TYPE: hardcover adventure rulebook
- RETAIL PRICE: $25
- DESCRIPTION: A deadly funnel for 15-20 0 level characters that revolves around an ever mutating and evolving moth grub. Because the grub adapts it also work for higher level PCs. The grub has escaped and the peasant PCs have been charged by the God-Queen to bring it back to the hatchery. The worm grows and grows and grows and grows. The growth unlocks new abilities for the worm grub, ranging from taking a snooze to spraying caustic acid. Its mutations don’t stop until it cocoons and becomes the Doombringer Moth. Scales will fall from its hallowed wings, and the god rays will immolate the kingdom. The Judge will have access to the royal guard, the knightly orders like Sky Knights, and the worm-locks and worm-hawks. I have to admit that this funnel sounds awesome.
In the Hollow of the Spider Queen by Trail of Dice Games
- SYSTEM: unique
- PRODUCT TYPE: softcover adventure rulebook

Now, fearing for your life in the ensuing turmoil, you flee the palace at Bastow to seek the relative safety of anonymity on the open road. You explore a continent you have never seen and meet creatures whose fate and yours intertwine for good or for ill. Includes many encounter tables, NPCs, and maps to evoke the world.

Where the explorer failed the PCs must succeed and find the Crown of Eternity. Introduces the Indhyna League, a mysterious and well-funded group of treasure-seeking mages and scholars with their own agenda. In Curse of the Pirate King the party has to journey to the lost capitol of a vast pirate nation and retrieve the legendary Blade of Dawn. But the Indhyna League is now working against the PCs.

Beset by League assassins, known as Collectors, the party must once again brave a desolate wasteland to recover certain cast-offs from the legendary Viridian Rocs, giant creatures not known for their gentle disposition. Catacombs of Living Death starts with the Red Plague coming to Athan. The adventurers must venture forth and travel through the plague-stricken land to enter the Catacombs of Eulogia and recover the powerful Helm of Baat. Designed is for 4–6 characters of 36–38 points. The Sunken Library is designed for 4–6 characters of 36–38 points. The plans of the party’s seemingly addled patron Jok Sevantes reach their fateful conclusion. His partners must bring all of their previously acquired (looted and pillaged) artifacts to a secret location to effect a final ritual, under the waters of a lake in far-off Nran. There, searching for a supposedly lost book in the sunken Great Library of Hrel matters become treacherously clear.
