Hey! I've got two adventures in this book that just came out from @koboldpress.com. They're both co-written with dope author @bryancamp.bsky.social. Our adventures are “Clockwork Phylactery” and “The Dark God’s Ziggurat.”

DUNGEONS DEEP: 16 Classic Ready-to-Play Drop-in Dungeons. A young female wizard with long black hair holds a lantern in one hand and a crystal in the other, side by side with a male warrior in splint armor holding a sword and shield. Both face a grick—a large serpent-like creature with a head opens like tentacles, with a large beak in the center.
