The Baron's Sport
“Mark them now, huddled in their cages.
Soon they will be like the canary released into the fireplace.
Do you hear me in there? Soon you will be free... in a way.
Do me proud, my players. I want to see a show.”
TW: Violence, endangerment, strong language
The Baron has rounded up an array of prisoners to take part in a gauntlet inside his castle.
Can the players muster the ingenuity and grit required to make it out the other side? Many will enter, few will exit.
The Baron’s Sport is a 0-level funnel adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics (DCC).
This adventure is designed for roughly 20 0-level characters.
This is a simple 32 page module, requiring little prep, and would probably be ideal as someone's first funnel.
The Valley 100
The Baron’s Sport is adapted from the #VALLEY100, a 100-person gauntlet I ran entirely over Bluesky posts in February 2025. Some of the rooms in the original gauntlet have not made it into this version, as they are unsuited to funnel play, but a select few have and exist in these pages as more fleshed out reincarnations.
