A dungeon-crawl, story-forward megadungeon, Descent of the Ancient Fane pits characters against more than just traps and monsters, twisting their personal fears, desires and pride against them. Suffering and sacrifice like no other dungeon leads over five richly detailed levels, to a conclusion that puts the fate of worlds at stake. A tie-in to Goodman Games' revised Castle Whiterock and set in Witch Pleas' folklore-based Lohre setting, Descent of the Ancient Fane contains untold agonies and endless hours of adventure.
