The Forbidden Caverns of Archaia (5E) is an old-school megadungeon for the 5th Edition of the world’s most popular roleplaying game!
Introduction
The lost city of Archaia - an ancient ruin sunken into the earth - lies deep in the badlands. In recent years, caravans from Eastdale have come under attack from orcs, goblins, and worse. Some say these blood-thirsty war bands have lairs in the deep caves and ruins. Still others say the ancient halls are filled with magnificent treasures left by the Archaians. Are you brave (or foolish) enough to delve The Forbidden Caverns of Archaia?
What is the Forbidden Caverns of Archaia?
The Forbidden Caverns of Archaia is a massive 5E adventure inspired by the modules published during the Golden Age of fantasy role-playing. Forbidden Caverns was Kickstarted in August of 2016 (for the Labyrinth Lord OSR Rules) and fulfilled on-time one year later.
The Project:
This project is to fund the conversion and updating of the content (as well as a new layout and corresponding art) from Labyrinth Lord to the 5th Edition of the world's most popular role-playing game.
The Goal:
The goal is to raise $6,000 to fund the revisions outlined above and to bring the PDFs and the physical book to backers as soon as possible. The conversion of the content to 5E is already underway. I expect to deliver ahead of schedule.
What is Included?
Forbidden Caverns of Archaia is 296+ pages of 5E awesomeness and includes:
The Art
Former TSR artists include the famous Erol Otus, as well as Jim Holloway and Russ Nicolson. New old-school artists include Scott LeMien, Peter Pagano, Mark Pagano, Cory Hamel, Stefan Poag, and others.
Artwork is abundant and well-placed, picturing dozens of evocative scenes and situations. Twelve artists are at work here. There are multiple, gorgeous full-page pieces, half-page pieces, quarter-page pieces, and smaller square pieces, all scattered throughout the volume.
The Kickstarter is currently 2/3 funded and has 17 days left! Don't miss out!
