#Dungeon23 to Completion
The Ruins of Castle Gygar is a 360+ room megadungeon designed for old school tabletop RPGs. It is designed with Old-School Essentials in mind but will play great with any OSR B/X compatible game, your favourite retroclone, five-ee, or fantasy heartbreaker.
Notes from the Author
The Ruins of Castle Gygar began as a #Dungeon23 project that I completed over the length of 2023. The #Dungeon23 project was an initiative to write one dungeon room a day every day for 2023, and I completed it! I then spent the next six months digitizing my notebook, refining it into a useable, runnable megadungeon.
Castle Gygar is inspired by many things, such as the original Greyhawk dungeon by Gary Gygax, the structure of the megadungeon in Nethack, as well as the maze structure dungeons of the classic Wizardry computer games.
The book is written by Onslaught Six and features art by Chaoclypse and was edited by Ennie award winner Roz Leahy.

Well organized. If you're going to fit it into a campaign, you'll need to do some maneuvering but would work great as a (very) extended one-shot. Great fun!

A+ product, 100% worth the price! "The Ruins of Castle Gygar" packs SO much thought-provoking content into just 64 pages. Everything within in clear, concise, and just cuts to the chase. No excessive rules or guidelines, no vague trails of breadcrumbs. It's a rock-solid adventure that could easily be slotted into any fantasy TTRPG or otherwise, regardless of edition. The maps are compact but pack a punch, the encounters are straightforward without being mundane or boring, and the story's threads and concepts will suck you in and ramp up your imagination. This one's a can't-miss!
Fun zine, glad I grabbed one of the last few available. Hopefully they do a reprint for those who missed out.
