From publisher blurb:
“When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow.” Ursula K. Le Guin
After a cataclysm, desperate survivors find themselves deep underground. Amid the ruins of a broken world, they must find their way out and face the strange, alien life forms that live down in the dark. Can they make it out alive before the light runs out?
Nightcrawlers is a swords and sorcery adventure that brings a dark twist to the classic dungeon crawl. Taking inspiration from modern classics like Veins of the Earth and Ten Candles, the players begin with ten torches in the game, which can be represented by ten actual candles at the table. Each time a torch is consumed, a candle is blown out. If they don't find their way out of the caves in time, the characters - and the players - will be plunged in darkness. It's a perfect way to celebrate this spooky time of year!
