    Cities Without Number.

    S05E06 - Dungeon Crawl Classics - Tomb of Horrors - Episode One - One Does Not Simply Walk Into More Doors

    For our 100th episode, and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, we tackle Gary Gygax's classic 1975 dungeon crawl "Tomb of Horrors". But why tackle this notoriously unbeatable dungeon as high level D&D characters, when you can send in a bunch of Dungeon Crawl Classics zeroes? Will our heroes survive? Of course not. But we guarantee a rollicking good time while they do!

Dungeon crawl Classics

I was looking for an actual live play of dungeon, crawl, Classics, and found this one. The dungeon master is entertaining as well as the players. They are creative and fun and not disgusting lol.

I’ve enjoyed listening to a bunch of the episodes.

I would highly recommend this to anybody interested in learning the various systems.

Excellent actual play podcast

I search out actual play podcasts for RPGs that I’m interested in. I discovered this podcast because I was looking for an Ars Magica game and it was the only one I could find. After listening to the adventure, I was hooked. Excellent GM and players continue to play through a series of interesting games. Huge fan of old D&D and loved the mash up with King of Dungeons. Can’t recommend more highly!
