EMDT96: Treasures of the Necropolis – Echoes From Fomalhaut #12

Ancient tombs, haunted streets, and hidden towers – Echoes From Fomalhaut #12: Treasures of the Necropolis is the most lavishly illustrated issue in the series to date. This 56-page fanzine delivers a rich collection of adventures and GM-friendly materials for OSRIC and other old-school systems, with scenarios that have been extensively playtested in both home campaigns and conventions.

With cover art by Peter Mullen and interior illustrations by Cameron Hawkey, Vincentas Saladis, Graphite Prime, Ferenc Fábián, The Dead Victorians, and The Antique Alumni, this is a true feast for the eyes and imagination alike.

Inside you’ll find:

• Urmalk the Boundless (Levels 3–5, 24+24 keyed areas) – Explore a massive necropolis just outside a bustling city. Used as a place of burial since the dawn of time, this site-based adventure is filled with ruined mausoleums, tangled crypts, and forgotten lore. Open-ended and modular, it works equally well as a side-quest, a tournament module, or a long-term campaign location. Playtested at Cauldron Con 2023 and Society of Adventurers Con XI.

• Catacombs of the Pariahs (Levels 3–7, 50 keyed areas) – Beneath the slums of the Beggars’ District in the City of Vultures lies a dungeon that grows deadlier and stranger the deeper you go. Encounter the Court of the Pariah-King, the Domain of Virotán, and the bizarre Ceramic Space in this sprawling underworld challenge.

• Castle of the Rose Knight (Levels 5–7, 30 keyed areas) – A mysterious castle glimpsed from afar in the Twelve Kingdoms, this elegant yet deadly locale is only reachable by the brave. Trials of worth, mystical intrigue, and the enigmatic Knight of Roses await those who enter.

• Tower of the Thief (Levels 3–5, 15 keyed areas) – A smaller site-based adventure set in the Beggars’ District, this tower hides the legacy (and traps) of a retired master thief. Compact, flavorful, and perfect for a single session.

• Bonus Maps – Includes two fold-out map sheets with both player and GM versions. While supplies last, a third bonus map is also included due to a printing mishap – an unexpected extra for collectors!

Whether you’re building out a city’s underworld, sending knights on strange quests, or delving into necropolises older than memory, Treasures of the Necropolis offers dark delights and deadly challenges for any old-school campaign.
