DELTA VISION R. A. Salvatore - A sötétség ostroma

Not all heroic stories end in triumph - but that still makes them unforgettable.

The Faster, Purple Worm! Everybody Dies, Vol. 1 collects fifteen insanely fun, tragicomic D&D adventures where first-level heroes die heroic deaths… with dignity, laughter, and sometimes in the stomach of the Purple Worm.

Not every hero's ballad ends in triumph. Some people fail because of a bad decision, some people get swallowed up in the sand, and some people end up laughing after a botched throw. The Faster, Purple Worm! Everybody Dies, Vol. 1 commemorates those adventurers who did not survive - but with what cheerfulness they went to their doom! This book carries on the craziest, most fun tradition of Dungeons & Dragons: the art of heroic failure.

Detailed description
Every D&D team knows the promise of glory—but this volume is for the heroes who don't quite make it to legend. Everybody Dies, Vol. 1 is a special edition of Beadle & Grimm's featuring fifteen short, deadly fun one-shot adventures for first level characters. Each story tells the fate of a new team: novice adventurers who, through bad luck, stumble upon a legendary monster - and from then on, the question is no longer if they die, but in what style.
The atmosphere is wry, comedic and heroic at the same time: Everybody Dies is the perfect choice if the group wants to laugh, shout and fall together - with dignity and amidst the clatter of dice.

The adventures are all Faster, Purple Worm! Kill! Kill! based on the D&D Adventures show, and bring the humor, pace and crazy creativity of the stage shows to the world of the tabletop game. An ideal "palate cleanser" between long campaigns or any time the team just wants to spend an evening laughing at the D&D table. The vibe: Monty Python meets Tomb of Horrors.

Why is it special?

The Faster, Purple Worm! Everybody Dies is both a parody and a tribute to the heroic worlds of D&D, where glory is illusory, death is inevitable - but adventure, laughter and camaraderie are eternal. With its unique atmosphere, this volume creates a new genre: a collection of tragicomic one-shot adventures, where the goal is not to survive, but to have fun before death catches up in its various forms. We rarely laugh so much at our own failures - but in this book it is the basic experience. The adventures are brilliantly written, twisty, and full of the wry humor that only those who have died at least once in a goblin cave can really understand.

For collectors, this is a real special edition of Beadle & Grimm's, for storytellers it is an inexhaustible source of humor, and for players it is a perfect choice for an easy, short, yet memorable D&D evening. Every adventure is short, fast-paced and has only two sure points: the end and laughter.
