Dark Alchemy: Tales & Tactics from the Dungeon

WELCOME TO THE DUNGEON! The collapse has destroyed New York City, and our Crawlers have survived their first steps into the World Dungeon. But surviving monsters is one thing. Surviving the attention of an entire galaxy? That's something else entirely. GAME 2: TALK SHOWS & GOBLIN PROBLEMS Tonight, our Crawlers are thrust into the galactic spotlight as they're invited onto a Dungeon talk show. Their actions, personalities, and questionable decisions are about to become entertainment for billions of viewers across the universe. But fame isn't their only problem. Back in the Serving Warrens, tensions are rising between the Ratkin and the Goblins. A bitter conflict threatens to turn the neighborhood into a war zone, and our Crawlers must figure out what's really happening, who can be trusted, and whether they should pick a side. Will they negotiate peace, manipulate both factions, or simply kill everything that gets in their way? And through it all, the System AI is watching, judging, and probably enjoying every terrible decision. GAME 2 FLOOR: 1 NEIGHBORHOOD: Serving Warrens TIME TO LEVEL COLLAPSE: 4 Days TONIGHT'S CHALLENGES: Galactic Talk Shows, Ratkin vs. Goblins, and Surviving the Dungeon ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN This is an ongoing Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG actual-play campaign following a group of survivors from New York City as they fight their way through Floors 1–5 of the World Dungeon.
