I was surprised that Tomb of the Serpent Kings had escaped my prior possession in PDF. I'd heard of it, read discussions and posts mentioning it, and knew that it looked familiar when I saw the title, but until tonight, I'd never owned a copy - and damn it! It's free!
You CAN snag a print-on-demand copy of Tomb of the Serpent Kings for 3.99, and I'll be snagging a copy for myself once I have other things in my cart to ship with it.
People keep asking for "beginner" dungeons. Everyone can name "classic" dungeons - Tomb of Horrors, Barrier Peaks, The Temple of Elemental Evil, etc. - but in order for those adventures to make sense, there needs to be some sort of introduction.
It's like all the adventures we have are Bach concertos. People keep writing amazing works of staggering genius, but someone needs to write a book on how to play the piano.
I had the same questions, and since I couldn't find anything satisfactory, I decided to write the kind of dungeon I would have loved to find. I wanted to write the best basic old-school dungeon for new players that I could, and I also wanted to show the design process. And since people keep refereng to it, I figured I'd put up a fancy print version.
Tomb of the Serpent Kings is designed to be easy to adapt to your system of choice to create an old-school dungeon-crawling tomb-robbing experience.
