Cleaning today. Dusting, curtains, and winter quilt away. Not my original plan for today, but needed doing.

I did manage to get the tuck box tutorial up on YouTube and linked here too:

And Reverse the curse! is finally mostly working... I'm not quite happy with the gameplay loop. It needs more work before I focus any on narrative/graphic design... No idea if it'll be functional by the deadline for Button Shy's 18-Card No Shuffle Challenge, but I'm giving it a go.

Anyway, that was my day! How was yours? Productive? Fun?

Happy Tuesday and happy playing!

The Catacombs of Living Death is a 2021 adventure written by Christopher R. Rice, J. Edward Tremlett, and Douglas H. Cole. It was released by Gaming Ballistic LLC and is designed for The Fantasy Trip. The cover art is by Ksenia Kozhevnikova and a team of artists worked on the interior illustrations. The maps were created by Glynn Seal.

Presentation
This adventure is available in pdf and print. The print version is a 20 page softcover with a stapled binding. The covers are full color on heavy stock and the interiors are black & white on semi-gloss pages. The layout is primarily two-columns and is easily read throughout.

Content
This adventure is intended for 4-6 experienced adventurers of 36-38 points. It is a sequel to Roc of Sages.

The book starts with a thorough table of contents then proceeds to describe the major players in the adventure, from their alleged patron Jok Sevantes, to his enemies, the Indhyna League, the Royal House of Athan, and the Duerch, an offshoot of dwarves. From there, we get descriptions of The Red Wind Plague and how it spreads, Key items and artifacts in the adventure, and important places for the characters to have at least some familiarity with. There's also a rundown on locations in Athan and other places affected by the Red Plagues and how they are dealing with the plague and outsiders.

Finally, we get to the catacombs which includes both information on finding the catacombs and what's in them once they're located. This includes the Helm of Baat, an important artifact. There is a summary of potential outcomes for the party which varies based on how long it takes them to complete their quest and which items they've recovered.

Evaluation
As is the case with all these adventures, there is a lot of background information here, about 11 pages. Some of it is general information, but most of it is detail the GM wioll need to be familiar with to run the sessions. The other common feature is that Jok is not very honest with them and deception remains his primary survival mode both in dealing with the party and his own situations. His deceptions make everything more dangerous as the players often have no idea what they're getting themselves into.

That said, I think this is better than the previous entries, but that might be a low bar to clear.
