Hardcover collection of all-new 0-level funnels!



A compilation of 12+ all-new adventures for the popular 0-level funnel format that players love! Whether it's to start a new campaign or run a one-shot, this book has all the adventures you need!

Fan-favorite authors include Erica Barlow, Julian Bernick, Daniel J. Bishop, Michael Curtis, Lou "Luau Lou" Hoefer, Tim Snider, Harley Stroh, Stefan Surratt and others!

P.S. Wondering what a funnel is? It's a 0-level adventure! You start with four peasants. You'll be lucky to finish with one!

A DCC funnel throws a mob of hapless commoners — farmers, gravediggers, goat herders — into a lethal dungeon and lets fate sort them out. They're thrown into a deadly dungeon adventure where most will die horribly. The survivors earn enough experience to "level up" to 1st level and choose a class, with the trauma of the funnel shaping who they've become. It's part meat grinder, part character origin story, and all fun!

Tell Me More About The Adventures!



Each funnel is designed to be played in a single session, making them easy to run as part of character creation. Here is some of what you’ll encounter:

A vile necromancer whom the residents thought dead has re-emerged intent on revenge against those who sought to destroy him. What better way payback than to harvest those villagers’ bodies for parts? Can the imprisoned villagers escape his lethal lair?

An aging lord seeks to recover the remains and relics of his old adventuring partners from a cave system once held sacred by the legendary Witch Queens. A crowd of commoners accepts the task in return for a share of the riches. But the dead do not always slumber deeply.

The PCs awaken in a labyrinth seemingly adrift in the void of space. Otherworldly dangers lurk in every room as they navigate the cosmic structure. Little do they know that this is all part of the ineffable designs of the Star-Cthons. Their only hope of returning home is to decipher the labyrinth’s secrets and overcome the alien menaces lurking there.


A plague of dogs descends upon the PCs’ humble village, leaving a wake of destruction in their path. And these dogs’ bites are worse than their barks. As the moon waxes, the pack grows bolder and more numerous, suggesting that the beasts might walk on two legs during the daytime…

A blinding blizzard causes a party of travelers to seek shelter inside a mysterious cave. However, the cave proves to be the den of a terrible monster. With an icy death at their back and a hungry beast before them, can the travelers find a way to survive long enough to wait out the storm?

Seekers undergoing their Rite of Passage must venture into the rusting innards of a terrible war-machine of the Ancients to earn their place in the tribe. Unfortunately, they’re not alone in trying to plunder the engine of destruction, leading to a fierce battle within the cramped innards of the massive warbot.



A strange funeral procession is spotted outside of town, headed for a crumbling ruin once dedicated to the Court of Chaos. Sensing evil in the air, a few brave souls take up shovels, torches, and pitchforks to quash the menace before it spills across the land.

Hunted! The PCs are captured by the Vile Brotherhood who intend to use them as prey in their own deadly Rite of Passage. The PCs must make it through a dangerous maze with the hunters snapping at their heels. Will they make it out of the maze and its myriad traps and terrors or end up as trophies of better predators?



A group of down-on-their-luck citizens of the North American Empire are caught up in an illegal Xcrawl being staged on a remote island, an island home to a long-forgotten temple dedicated to the Titans. Now, not only must they survive the Game, but the wraith of the Titans as well.

Something stirs the blood of commoners from around Áereth, calling them to a crumbling outpost constructed long ago by the ancient Lemurians. Within lies deathless creatures and fatal traps. Their very blood seems to grant power to a queen who should have perished millennia ago.
