Horrifying abominations, half carrion crawler, half dragon, inhabit the ruins of a strange castle in an otherworldly place. The art and text in this module was kind of green, I think to show the influence of the main villain.

A parody D&D book cover titled 'Legend of the Affordable House.' It features a cheerful adventuring party—including an orc, wizard, warrior, and halflings—standing proudly in front of a cozy two-story cottage. The caption reads, 'In this imaginary fantasy setting, you CAN afford a home for the whole party.'

I can already see the really positive effect Crows is having in the MCDM community. Having a second game, and specifically a game deliberately designed for "folks who passed on Draw Steel" means we're making a much broader group of players happy with our product. More homes for more gamers at MCDM!

I like the way the room names of Tomb of Armansquagulat (by the 3d6DTL guys) show the level of illumination in the room at a glance. I've seen a few iterations of this idea but this one is sticky. Notice how Area 1 is lit, Area 2 is partially lit, and Area 3 is dark. Neat!
Two page spread with room title keys in either brown text on yellow or yellow text on brown, representing lit and unlit rooms
