Beware of the Cat! – Review: No Small Crimes in Lankhmar, for Dungeon Crawl Classics

A slightly different review post today, being a review of a short adventure published by Goodman Games for their Dungeon Crawl Classics Lankhmar setting. As with all my reviews, this is play-informed; I ran the adventure last week at Kraken, with a total of six players. Curious patrons can find my pregens attached to this post – I wasn’t able to source a Lankhmar PC generator in the many excellent DCC websites, so you’re welcome to these!

In short, No Small Crimes is excellent, and offers many things that we can steal and adapt for a location-based one-shot.

While you’re reading this, I should tell you about my Patreon. Patrons get access to content 7 days before they hit this site, the chance to request articles or content, and the chance to play in one-shot games, for a very reasonable backer level of £2 per month.

Patrons have also got the eight pregens and one-sheet of rules that I used to run this adventure below – if you’d like to try running it yourself, be sure to check it out!

Dungeoning Done Right – How To Run Dungeon Crawl Classics One-Shots

I’ve had a chance to start running a few games of Goodman Games’ Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) and its derived games recently – a one-shot of Weird Frontiers for Unconventional GMs, and a “vanilla” DCC at MORPCon in Manchester. It’s a system I’ve always enjoyed playing, but except for a couple of 0-level funnels, I’ve not run it before. And it’s an awful lot of fun.
