Tomb of a Thousand Doors [ORIGINAL VERSION]

PRE ORDER on BackerKit NOW! 1000doors.backerkit.com

Gather up picks and shovels and prepare packs as you delve deep into the forgotten stronghold of a mad mouse king - the Tomb of a Thousand Doors. A megadungeon for the rules-light fantasy adventure roleplaying game Mausritter.

It’s a deep and dark dungeon down there, and it will not be fair on a little mouse. But if you are cautious and maybe a bit daring and reckless, you may be able to retrieve unnumbered riches. And if you delve for long enough, you may just uncover the greatest treasure of all mousekind.

A collaborative effort by the Bernpyle Press Creative Collective, the Mausritter Discord, and the Mausritter Third-party Community; Tomb of a Thousand Doors is a megadungeon campaign setting for Mausritter. With over 30 unique dungeons all connected into a massive labyrinth of a structure. Tomb of a Thousand Doors will bring, literally hundreds of hours of potential game play to your table.

We are looking to crowdfund $5000 to bring this project to life. The goal is to bring Tomb of a Thousand Doors to life as an A4 landscape, smyth sewn binding, ribbon bookmarked, 90 page hardcover book. The fundraising goal will cover the remaining artwork (31 unique maps by Fernando Salvaterra), the offset printing and binding by Mixam, the layout and design, and that’s it! There will be a tier for the digital product but the main product is the premium print run.

The beauty about this project is it already is complete in text form. In truth, it is way more than just text form but a complete A5, 188 page book available for pay-what-you-want on here itch.io. Why are we funding it then? Well, this project is the result of a game jam with 43 entries, all with their own flavor and style but together, though the content is there, lacks a cohesive flow and design. This campaign will reformat and elevate the project to new heights! We have already invested $3500 dollars into some of the greatest artwork there is, and as a dream project we are so excited to see it come to life!

Within this megadungeon are:

• 38 keyed dungeon locations
• Over 250 rooms
• 100+ subterranean and pocket dimension hexes
• 4 rival adventuring parties
• 5 fleshed out factions
• 8 boss level monsters and/or wandering monsters
• 25+ new creatures
• 36 random treasures
• 6 species of magical mushroom
• 50+ named/described magical items
• Over 100,000 potential pips to be recovered
• and so much more!

Setting background:

To the northwest of Mayfield, just south of the Rittermarch lies a hidden structure; lost amidst the dense forest. In the depths of these woods, under the most ancient and gnarled oak lies an ornate stone archway; through which is a doorway to endless tunnels, dug by forgotten generations of dwellers. Where they all lead, no one knows; welcome to the Tomb of a Thousand Doors.

In ages past, a mad mouse king built up stores for his vast riches in a massive, subterranean and deadly tomb. Seasons came and went and the tomb was left undisturbed. Sometime in the recent past, several antagonistic factions broke into the tomb and uncovered various dangerous artifacts. Now, these diverse factions make this Tomb their home.

The Maus Kingdom is calling on brave mice adventurers to delve into the tomb and clear out the faction and retrieve any of the riches and artifacts that they can. 

 This megadungeon can be a standalone campaign site or can be added to any hex of an ongoing Mausritter campaign. Tomb of a Thousand Doors references other Third-Party Mausritter Products such as: Mayfield, The Rittermarch, and Bernpyle; however, these materials are not needed to play but could add more options and depth for extended campaign play.

With your download you will have access to: Tomb of a Thousand Doors Spreads, Tomb of a Thousand Doors Singles, Tomb of a Thousand Doors 1st Edition, Tomb of a Thousand Doors Pre-Gen adventurers, and three zines of Tomb of a Thousand Doors broken down into a preview of the megadungeon, a list of factions and a bestiary, as-well-as and 128 page description of each dungeon.

If you purchase this module for $5.00 or more you will gain access to: Tomb of a Thousand Doors Maps (by Fernando Salvaterra), Tomb of a Thousand Doors Game Master Screen (Art by Bruno Prosaiko), and a bunch more cool graphical assets for either print-and-play or VTT. (Reasoning for a purchase price is to pay for the commissioned artwork)
