Best of the DCCs?


3.5/d20/OGL


I see that there is a 50% off sale, so I am considering picking up four or five of these. Any recommendations as to which ones are the best?

I think that "Dread Crypt of Srihoz" is a real winner, and is the on that got me hooked on the DCC series after a couple of false starts. It has some issues with map scale and room size, though (e.g. Aboleth room), so you might want to tinker with the map a little bit before running, especially if you're going to play out the exploration on a grid.

Vault of the Iron Overlord is also great, but keep in mind that it depends on a map constructed out of three rotating wheels (think of an old style Copy Protection code wheel), so I'm not sure how that is implemented in the PDF...you'll have to do some cutting and assembling, I think.

Gates of Delirium is interesting, although I'm not sure how well the CD music would go over...I haven't run it yet.


I had Vault of the Iron Overlord on my list. I like Aboleths, so The Dread Crypt will go on the list as well. I was planning on grabbing four or five of them, but I didn't want to just pick at random so I appreciate the recommendations.
