Dungeon Crawl Classics: The Empire of the East + complimentary PDF

Note: the PDF is available via a code which can be found on the inside front page of the book.

Officially licensed by the estate of Fred Saberhagen, this hardcover sourcebook offers everything you need to play DCC RPG campaigns in the world of the Empire of the East.

Thousands of years ago, the ashes of nuclear fire changed the world. The weapons of mass destruction ceased to work as the laws of physics altered. In their wake came elementals and demons, creatures from the darkest dreams and nightmares of mankind. Magic returned to the world. Humankind arose from the ashes and rebuilt society, just as the vile Empire of the East wielded the demonic powers of Orcus to sweep across the globe. Now it falls to a small group of resistance fighters to reclaim freedom for humanity!

Inside you will find:

• Rules for magic tailored to the post-apocalyptic fantasy setting of the Changeling Earth, including new spells and summonings to enrich anyDCCcampaign
• Character options for adventuring in this world
• A discussion of demons, elementals, and monsters, including stats for creatures compatible with anyDCCandMCCcampaign
• Lost technology of the Golden Age of Man, and its effect on the Changeling Earth
• Statistics for all of the major characters from the trilogy, also usable as NPCs in anyDCCorMCCcampaign
• Two short low-level adventures to start your campaign
• And more!

Using this sourcebook requires theDCC RPGcore rulebook. While this sourcebook contains all you need to play a campaign, Saberhagens novels are an invaluable resource in understanding the setting. We highly recommend you also read the SaberhagenEmpire of the Eastseries, available as a modern compilation or in the original three individual volumes, titledThe Broken Lands,The Black Mountains, andArdnehs World(also published asChangeling Earth).
