ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
Investigate a massive dead jellyfish like creature hovering above your town.

In this funnel townsfolk will set out in search of riches beyond their wildest dreams. A jelly covered creature, larger than most buildings in town is slowly making its way across the countryside. Its long tentacles are behind it rending the ground and destroying trees and buildings. The strange thing is that this jelly ball is spewing treasure onto the ground! I wonder if one could climb one of those tentacles... The townsfolk of Donnybrook will set out in search of treasure beyond their wildest dreams as they climb inside the bell of an enormous jellyfish that is floating past town.

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Ready to roll some dice, fight weird monsters, and maybe die gloriously?

Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC) is a fast paced, old school inspired fantasy roleplaying game published by Goodman Games. Designed to capture the weird, gritty, and gonzo energy of early TTRPGs with modern mechanics. DCC blends lethal dungeon crawls, strange magic, and heroic destiny with a heavy metal meets sword and sorcery vibe.

Join us for this DCC one-shot adventure - a wild, rules light fantasy RPG where anything can happen and probably will.
