Upcoming Cons!
“Bergummo's Tower” is a standard one shot in an old school puzzle dungeon, using the Smithy of Sacrilege system, led by Sean F. Smith
"In a lonely glade stands the abandoned tower of a once-legendary wizard. They say he kept great wealth and magical wonders hidden inside, but he vanished long ago, and with him went the secret location of his treasure. Is there something to these rumors, or is the tower merely the sad legacy of a dead wizard? You've been outfitted by the eccentric Earl Grey, who wants escorting while he tries out a key his last expedition found.
BERGUMMO'S TOWER is a classic puzzle dungeon written for low-level OSRIC. We'll instead use my lighter SMITHY OF SACRILEGE ── a minimalist ruleset for classic adventure play, and it's last official run-out!
Characters will be made at the beginning of the session. No experience necessary.
This game will be great if you like lateral thinking and wizard-logic.

However, six years ago ─ to the very day ─ prominent militiaman Conrad Zaar was lured to these docks to be murdered by the gang whose secrets he was selling. They tied him up, set him ablaze, and drowned him in the river.
