Here it is, the Dungeon World game everyone’s been clamoring for: the grand finale of The Nettle Crusades! With the fate of the universe at stake, The Nettlers (and Taeros) press on to the Realms of Corruption, where the Onion of Death awaits. However, when they stop to explore the fortress that lies on the border between realms, Taeros unwittingly frees a god of destruction from his eternal imprisonment, and now the fallen deity seeks to feed the universe to some kind of devourer. With the gods of light arrayed against them and the gods of darkness waiting to see who comes out on top, will our seriously overpowered adventurers be able to save the entire universe?

The Nettlers (and Taeros) continue their final quest to save the world from rampaging deities in the divine realms! On their way to retrieve the Onion of Life from its hiding place, they decide to stop at Techomsah’s stronghold, where Barnabus makes a startling discovery about the nature of his patron deity. Meanwhile, Pendrell takes on the divine mantle of a god who wants to escape the impending destruction of the universe, but finds that he is ill-suited to managing the god’s intended domain. As the party approaches the Shrine of Life, wherein their prize awaits, Barnabus, Pendrell and Avon are transported to a secret dungeon buried far beneath the ground, where a dark god of suffering has also been imprisoned. Can they find their way out of a magical trap, acquire the Onion of Life and continue on their journey, or are they doomed to spend eternity at the mercy of an evil deity?

Legend tells of a hidden tomb that is only revealed when The Empty Star rises to its zenith in the heavens, the final resting place of a long-buried wizard king whose treasures await those brave or foolish enough to enter. A group of Level 0 peasants, armed only with their wits and the implements of their respective trades, gathers outside the tomb’s magical entrance, prepared to risk all to acquire the riches locked inside. Before they can count their gold, however, they’ll have to overcome the tomb’s considerable defenses, and confront the terrors that lie within.

NOTE: Due to time constraints and irregular attendance, we never completed this adventure. If scenarios lacking resolution are the sort of thing that bothers you, feel free to skip this episode. If you do, however, you should know that you’re missing out on a lot of gonzo dungeon crawl fun!

Millennia ago, a race of beings known as The Demiurge reshaped the fledgeling planet of Umdaar in their own image, leaving behind powerful artifacts and abandoned experiments. Now, Umdaar is ruled by a group of tyrannical Masters whose only goal is to gain more power. Groups of treasure hunters known as Archaeonauts have dedicated themselves to exploring Umdaar’s forgotten places to find the lost artifacts of the Demiurge, hoping to keep them from the clutches of the Masters. One such group now faces off against agents of evil who seek to reunite the Starblades of Su’ul, weapons that give their wielders superhuman abilities. Can they recover the starblades and escape from an ancient temple before their enemies, or will they find themselves on the wrong end of a magical weapon?
