We are in the Regency era in our good old world, in England, but not quite as we know it from the history books or from Jane Austen.

On a balmy late fall day, just before the good society is about to leave their country estates to spend the ball season in London, the Marchioness of Ripon, Phyllis Barrington, has invited everyone of distinction in the region to an enjoyable evening of music.

But the evening turns out differently than expected, the players are faced with a variety of challenges and everything is demanded of them.

Will the characters manage to survive the evening without losing their reputation, their sanity or even their lives?

And achieve at least one of several goals in the process?

We shall see! In any case, I’m looking forward to seeing YOU. Mesdames, Messieurs, yours sincerely, your host Andrea (he/him).

The session will be played in German

Trigger warning – The game will be played without a net and safety line. Retreat is offered if it gets too much for someone.

System: W10+ goes Ghastly Liaisons or Bridgerton meets de Sade and Bram Stoker. A system developed over 40 years, without levels but skill-based, in which relationships are everything.

Date: 22.03.2025 – Time: 14:00 to 17:00

Ah, welcome to the world of Dungeon Crawl Classics, where heroes are many but survivors are few. Here, my brave fool… er adventurers, you can send your randomly created characters straight into a series of grotesque and often deadly trials.

Your weapons will clank, your dice will roll, and your character sheets will bear witness to either glory or incompetence. The dice will decide whether you can escape the nasty pitfalls or whether your characters will be blown up by a demonic rabbit.

In Dungeon Crawl Classics, the “C” definitely stands for “chaotic”, because here you’ll experience things that even a rabid artist on mescaline couldn’t paint. From death traps that turn you into bloodthirsty bats to random spells that can turn you into a chatty pumpkin, anything goes here.

About the game

You’ll solve puzzles that would drive a beholder’s mind insane, and fight monsters so strange that you’ll forget your sword techniques to wonder about their absurd existence.

Dungeon Crawl Classics is where the concept of the “hero’s journey” has turned into a diabolical labyrinth. Here you can die, resurrect, die, be resurrected and then die again. Doesn’t that sound incredible?

The Hero’s Journey lets you take control of several level 0, not level 1, you read that right, heroes, some of whom are doomed by a sneeze from a centaur or don’t even know where the pointy end of a sword belongs.

But you know what? That’s the fun of it. You’ll look forward to the coming catastrophe that you’ll experience firsthand, and then you’ll laugh at how terribly grandiose it was. Your initially useless characters, whom you hated for their sole existence, will grow on you and become epic heroes.

You will throw dozens of innocent day laborers, peasants, craftsmen and other rabble at the hordes of terrible enemies and leave the battlefield triumphantly loaded with treasures.

So, my brave heroes, enter the world of Dungeon Crawl Classics and let yourself be swept away by the absurd violence, vicious luck and nonsensical challenges. Because if you survive here, you’ll be able to proudly proclaim that you’ve survived every madness the dice have thrown at you.

Interested people can already have a look at the rulebook.
