The legends say the Tolomaks are home to treacherous witches, ferocious cannibals, moon demons, and worse!

Goodman Games is pleased to present the biggest RPG sourcebook you have seen!

In the earliest days of role-playing, Bob Bledsaw Sr. and Bill Owen co-founded Judges Guild in Decatur, Illinois to publish products compatible with Dungeons & Dragons. When their first product debuted at Gen Con 1976, it heralded the next chapter in the Golden Age of RPG publishing. Judges Guild introduced the concept of the adventure module, among many other innovations, and changed the course of Dungeons & Dragons play.

This second volume of the deluxe oversized hardcover series contains three iconic Judges Guild adventure modules: The Book of Treasure Maps, The Caverns of Thracia, and Dark Tower. All three titles are presented in their original form. They have been scanned directly from original printings, then digitally cleaned and restored, to present the highest possible quality.

This volume also includes full reproductions of the first 6 issues of The Dungeoneer. These Golden Age zines have never before been reprinted in their original format.

,p>In cooperation with Judges Guild, Goodman Games is pleased to present the original Citadel of Fire! Published in the same 1E rules set as the original edition, this volume is scanned from an original printing.

It also includes new material by Michael Curtis, fully authorized by the Judges Guild: a newly-created random table that determines the contents of a wizard's or alchemist's workshop, suitable for use in ransacking the Alchemist's Laboratory (Level D, Room #3) or the Wizard's Workshop (Level E, Room #2). Citadel of Fire also includes a second new chapter which provides more detail and game statistics on the eight apprentices of Yrammag which are briefly described within the original adventure.

A Level 2 Adventure for MCC RPG!

It?s thrills on wheels as the Seekers find themselves trapped aboard a runaway train! The robotic conductor has lost contact with its engineer subroutine, so it falls upon the ?stowaways? to stop their out-of-control journey. All that?s standing between them and victory is a train filled with hungry mutant worms, a railcar threatening to jump the tracks, and a sentient AI who refuses to be deactivated! Stow your luggage overhead and buckle up for a wild journey across Terra A.D.

The ramshackle vehicle threatens to jump the rails at any moment, increasing the tension the longer the players take to stop it

Can be used by the judge to connect various MCC adventures into a Terra-spanning campaign

Who hasn?t dreamed of a running gunfight along the roof of a moving train?

It rises ? silent, ancient, and ominous ? from the depths of the Monster Ocean. A curious relic of the Ancient Ones, long forgotten beneath the waves. Then, without warning, alien creatures never before seen on Terra A.D. spill forth the ravage the land! This is the Retreat of Delirium, home to strange super-science and creatures not of this world. What fiendish plans do they have in store for the rad-blasted world of Terra A.D.? Venture through the Retreat?s glowing door and discover what awaits beyond!

When your tribe?s prize possession ? a functioning medibot ? finally breaks down, your Seeker team is given a holy quest. Take the dead bot on a long and perilous journey to the the monks of The Holy Medicinal Order in hopes that their shamans can repair it. But the monks are not as the legends portray, and there is definitely something dark and dangerous going on in the holy monastery.

The Ancients called it Beta Collection Unit NC-787. Its mission ? to find, collect, and categorize animals and plants, record their DNA, and when required, strip invasive mutant DNA from extant creatures to create genetically pure stock. Then the Great Disaster came. Beta Collection Unit NC-787 sat dead and inert for ages while the world evolved around it for thousands of years.

When stories of a rogue ?smart metal? being the size of a mountain come to your village, no one takes them seriously, at least until the treaded 10-story-tall monstrosity begins cutting a gigantic swath through your hothouse jungle homeland. Invulnerable to even the mightiest mutations, your only hope to stop its menacing march is to find entry to its interior and access its power sources and sinister inhabitants.

The most holy of ancient relics, The Data Orb of Metakind has been passed down between tribal shamans and mystic mutants from generation to generation for thousands of years. If you can successfully bond with the golden orb?s AI, tetrabytes of arcane technological data can be yours, if you but survive its use. For while knowledge is power, it comes at a price.

For centuries it has lurked in the dark, forgotten by man and mutant ? a terrible entity left behind by the Ancients? meddling in cosmic forces they did not fully understand. Trapped in this world, this alien intellect seeks only to escape, but to do so, it requires lives. What the adventurers think is just another forgotten vault left behind by the Ancients may in truth contain the most terrifying threat they?ve ever face: the Evil of the Ancients!

You?re no zero. You?re a wasteland wanderer: a mutant, a seeker, a robot-killer, a stoic shaman guarding forgotten ancient sciences. You seek triumph and technology, winning it with mutations and magic, soaked in the radiation and quantum fields of the mutated, the savage, the semi-sentient, and the artificially intelligent. There are treasures to be won in the taboo lands and ruins, and you shall have them.

Return to the glory days of science fiction gaming with the Mutant Crawl Classics Role Playing Game. Adventure like it?s 1978 again, with modern rules grounded in the origins of post-apocalyptic role playing. Fast play, a mysterious future, and 100% compatibility with the DCC RPG system await you ? just activate your artifact?

The bleeding edge in role-playing tools has mutated to a new form!

A new way to create zero-level characters for your MCC funnel. The DCC Scratch-Off Character Sheets are a huge hit! So, of course, Goodman did some for Mutant Crawl Classics! Instead of rolling up 10 0-levels before the game, you can now save time by using these scratch-off character sheets!

STORIES

Three Festivals by James Enge

A Tale of Morlock Ambrosius

Kalx, brazen defender of the city, had left a trail of ruins in his wake. Morlock followed the trail until he passed the border of the city ? the line that Zlynth had called the pomerium. By the time Morlock caught up to the brazen monster, Kalx was already outlined in scarlet flames, fighting a cloud of Furies.

The Raven-Feeder?s Tower by Philip Brian Hall

The skeleton was held upright by a tall stake driven deep into the ground, to which support its spine was fixed by leather bonds. The breastplate covered bare white ribs and the helmet?s visor protected merely the empty eye-sockets of a morbidly-grinning skull.

Blue Achernar by Tais Teng

An Homage to Clark Ashton Smith

Lady Magida had slept in the tombs of magicians so feared that their names had never been written down, walking into their death-dreams, leafing through their grimoires that had long ago turned to dust. When she strode through the necropolises the gh–ls fled like whimpering hares.

Pawns? Gambit by Nathan Long

A Tale of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser

The monks howled at this violation of their sacred place, and Mouser saw he had been incorrect when he had thought them all unarmed. From every sleeve sprang a dagger, and they held them high as they rushed to encircle him.

Orphan Maker by S.E. Lindberg

?It is her time to sacrifice,? Ingrid explained while adjusting her mother?s hair. ?Ma resisted. She escaped from the Bleeding Tree.? She laughed while shrugging. ?But her blood is stronger than her faith!?

The Necromancer and the Forgotten Hero by D.M. Ritzlin

The wound was still fresh, but not a drop of blood escaped from it. Hyallbor wondered what sort of necro- mantical energies were sustaining him.

The Glass Dragon by David Gullen

Rhayder staggered grey-skinned from the mouth of a labyrinth of seventy-seven turns wielding a felling axe with a head of star-forged iron.
