Mana Meltdown is a high-stakes psionic battle royale Adventure. Outwit elite telekinetic treasure hunters in a lethal dungeon crawl. Race through a shrinking tomb of shifting geometry. Uncover secrets that death has sent a blood agent to erase.
Mana Meltdown is a scenario designed for old school essentials, based on the 1980s Basic/Expert rules. The adventure is designed for characters level 4-6, but there will be a section to help you tune the difficulty for your party size and level.
The Artificer is dead!
The Hermit Queen has dispatched you on the royal dragonfly to seize his living arcane weapons before her enemies do.
Deep in the geometric desert, the Artificer's tower is unraveling: traps are gaining sentience, micro dimensions are fusing, and a ticking mana reactor whispers on the brink of collapse.
The meltdown will soon sink the tower into churning cubic sands. If you fail, another kingdom will wield the weapons to rule for centuries
