Glad you enjoyed reading through Tomb Robbers, and appreciate the positive review very much. I should note that there are three smaller Crystal Frontier adventures available on DTRPG in PDF format and I am working on others including a higher level sequel tentatively titled "Space Gods of the Crystal Frontier". Slow going of course as I do the writing, art, and layout one my own as a hobby project.

That’s a lot of incredible creativity and thoughtfulness for not a lot of money. Even the print-on-demand is about as inexpensive as it gets.

It would be great to see a video with a compilation of your favourite introductory adventures! You’ve mentioned Winter’s Daughter and Tomb of the Serpent Kings, I’d like to know the other ones…

"Up their with Tomb of the Serpent Kings"
...
You have my attention 🤷😂

[Hikertrash]

Oh man this could pair well with "Through the Valley of the Manticore " for a cool desert themed campaign and setting. Need more stuff outside of typical european fantasy!

THANK U SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS INTO MY EARS AND EYEBALLS! I *LOVE* THE WAY THE CRYSTALS HERE FUNCTION ON SO MANY LEVELS I.E. THEY ARE AN EVOCATIVE MATERIAL, A SARCOPHAGI FOR NPCS, A MONSTER SPAWNER, A POISONOUS DRUG, AND A WHOLE DUNGEON. IT'S SUCH A GREAT IDEA TO GIVE SOMETHING SEEMINGLY SIMPLE A KIND OF ECOSYSTEM OR ORGANIC EVOLUTION - SOMETHING TO MY KNOWLEDGE IS NOT OFTEN EXPLOITED IN RPG SETTINGS.

Really fascinating book. I just love the idea of star-born ones that drop their crystal tombs to the mudball below. Showing the degree to which those above consider mere planets to be hopelessly backwater and beneath concern, that they consider it effectively consigning their dead to oblivion.

Also, it's just really good when a setting creates a built-in justification for all these dungeons the party keeps finding.

[funkaoshi]

Always love Gus’s stuff, and this is no exception. Maybe the best thing he’s put out. The art is great.

[shawnvaljean]

I am really intrigued by this setting. I'm definitely going to look into this once I get paid.

[WarDogMadness]

i litrally had a home brew adventure like this a number of years back using 3.5 with chaos gems fallen earth (renamed warp stone) it was 16ce in post apocalyptic world ALLER The Weathering Continent... but it was more grimdark theme (was still playing vampire counts heavily in the last edition).. than the acid house future punk colour scheme.. if you dont write up you own stuff some one else will do it better. might give this one a buy..

[bjhale]

Good timing. I was just looking at getting this POD (already own it in PDF).

[pickpocketpressrpgvideos]

Love the little room summary tags beneath each room number/heading. I can see that being very handy on the fly.

[Slackarius]

I love it, might have to pick this up to include into my current DCC / MCC / whatever we'll end up abbreviating Dying Earth Classics campaign. Core conceit is a massive space elevator they are exploring, but working to include some exterior things they explore as well has been something I'm working on making sure is available so they don't feel compelled to only explore the main megadungeon.

[heilmodrhinnheimski]

This looks so insanely cool, definitely checking this out.

[zueglitz]

Just joined Patreon. Your work is very cool! Long time gamer from 70s here. Drove my wife a little nuts listening to the reading of the add em guide lol

The second dungeon reminds me of the Guggenheim in New York. It is set up in much the same way.

[cicadasunflower]

Hey QB, I’m planning on running a campaign where the Pc’s navigate a 2 thousand year old forgotten continent, and I need help to pad out my dungeons with lore, items, and information. What supplement books do you think would suit me best?

[khpa]

I wish DTRPG still did staple binding. I love this large format, but it would be so much better if you could lay it flat.

[Madkingstoe]

All of these adventures that "reward smart players" - where are you guys finding so many smart players? I even play with very intelligent people but they always make dumb decisions in game. There's nothing more awkward than having to give away the solution for how to get past a puzzle in the game.

[dantherpghero]

I am reminded of an episode of the Simpsons. American game shows reward correct answers. Japanese game shows punish ignorance.
