Specifically, Iron Maiden and Megadeth, hence the title and content. So, what’s it all about?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCs have been on the path of The Cult of the Mega-Maiden. The Cult seeks to bring the Demon Seed of Deth to the Iron Ziggurat of the Mega-Maiden. There they hope to perform the Ultimate Ritual and fulfill the Prophecy. This will break open the Demon Seed and bring the Wrathchild into the world with the Mega-Maiden acting as surrogate mother. We begin in medias res, in the middle of the plot. This gives Judges various options to drop this into an existing campaign with some minor set up, make this the culmination of previous adventures, or just run this as a speedy one-shot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e**You don't need to be a fan of heavy metal to have fun with this!**\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PCs stand at the foot of the Iron Ziggurat of the Mega-Maiden and it is\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e2 minutes to midnight\u003c\/strong\u003e.

Deadly for anything less, but still fun. Perhaps a mob of villagers don't want the world destroyed and this turns into a funnel with lots and lots of dead villagers in a mighty struggle to save all of existence!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat are Two-Hour Tales?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuick Crawls are perfect for in-person or online play and include maps and tokens to facilitate that. Additionally, the Two-Hour Tales work well online as we have found that people begin to fade or lose focus after around 2.5-3 hours. These DCC Quick Crawls, as we call them, will be PDFs only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Two-Hour Tales run about 2,500-3,000 words. Each will have at least one map, several tokens and a complete three-part adventure. All NPCs will have a Strategy section so Judges get insight into how they act and fight. We will break out all new spells, creatures and items into reference cards. This will help the Judge run the Two-Hour Tales by giving them all the info they need for each specific encounter in the Quick Crawl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, each Quick Crawl leads into longer campaigns after the Two-Hour Tale with our Further Adventures section which gives ideas on how to continue along a specific story line. Later Two-Hour Tales can be dropped in as side quests or events in between major campaign action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn playtesting, this adventure took just under 3 hours. We imagine most groups will finish by then.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information check out 2 Old Guys Games on the web.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"u-mb-2\" _ngcontent-serverapp-c2116817401=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for more DCC RPG action from 2 Old Guys Games?
