A downloadable zine

Once upon a time, there was a wonderful school of spellcraft and sorcery called Brewkessel. 62 years ago it vanished in a flash of red lightning, taking with it some of the best and brightest names in magic. All that was left behind was a deep, smoking hole.

Was it the result of a spell gone wrong? Had the gods finally rained down judgement on their vile witchcraft? No one could say for sure. In fear of repeating Brewkessel’s unknown mistake, one by one the other schools locked their doors.

Brewkessel reappeared 7 months ago.

What is Brewkessel?

Brewkessel is a megadungeon designed for the 5th edition of the world's most popular role-playing game. It is presented as a series of zines that each detail a section of the dungeon and its surrounding area. Although Brewkessel is designed as a complete whole, each issue is modular, and can be played on its own or be mixed-and-matched with the other issues.

Inside Issue #1

  • Everything you need to start a Brewkessel campaign, including character prompts, an overview of the surrounding area, and adventure hooks.
  • The witch who controls the grounds and her force of canny mercenaries.
  • Brewkessel's ground floor, which includes the mundane requirements of a boarding school: kitchen, smithy, baths, owlery, and hospital.
  • The School of Enchantment, featuring a warlock with a wizard's head in a jar, a mad enchantress, and a portal from the fey realm.
  • Other adventurers interested in the dungeon's treasures and secrets.
  • A plethora of strange potions, presented with tasting notes.
  • Rules allowing characters of any class to learn spells.
  • How to assign your character to one of Brewkessel's four houses: Kelpulous, Phoenessent, Prescipiece, or Riddleward.

**OSE version rated THE BEST at Tenfootpole.org**

"It captures the spirit of Hogwarts, and warped nature turning it in to an adventuring locale … without it being too cutesy or bizarre for the sake of bizarre. It’s a fine line to walk and the designer does a good job." -Bryce Lynch

"It's a little on the whimsical side, but that's vastly outweighed by the thought and care that went into the book. Overall, I'm super impressed with this project." -Third Kingdom Games

Print Version: Currently there are no plans for a print 5e version, but if there is interest we will look into it!

Note: Requires the 5th Edition Players Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual. Old-School Essentials version also available.
