Jul 2, 2024

A new adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics and 5E has launched on Kickstarter for Dark Star Adventures. Players will battle mutated insects and look to unravel mind-shattering secrets in Cult of the Cave Crickets. The Kickstarter project runs through July 31 and you can reserve a copy of the 30-ish page softcover (with PDF) for a pledge of $15.00 or grab just the PDF for a $7.00 pledge through July 31st.

About the project:

In the hollow depths beneath the earth, where light is forgotten and sanity wavers, lies a terror beyond mortal comprehension!

Cult of the Cave Crickets invites you to descend into a labyrinth of darkness, where mutated insects skitter and fungal abominations writhe. Unravel the mystery of a fallen star and a missing research expedition over two to three sessions of intense gameplay. This is not a mere adventure—it is a journey into madness, a confrontation with the unknowable, and a test of your very sanity.

Dare you enter the subterranean abyss and confront the Cult of the Cave Crickets?

Here’s a sneak peek at what’s packed into this adventure:

– 17 locations across 3 distinct areas
– Ten brand-new enemies
– Five unique magical items
– A host of deadly traps and environmental hazards
– A variety of ways to kick off the adventure
– Multiple endings, from minimally to highly disruptive to the surrounding world
