| Getting past the first chamber is half the battle - surviving is the rest. Curse of the Black Dragon is a competition module for the original 1974 edition of D&D. Designed as an homage to British old-school classics like Fighting Fantasy's Deathtrap Dungeon and Trial of Champions, this extremely tough, high-stakes tournament maze is jam-packed with devious puzzles, ruthless opponents, and unforgiving traps. Though the labyrinth spans a vast expanse, its engineering permits swift traversal for adventurers. Success requires gathering intelligence beforehand, allowing a prepared party to confront selected adversaries, hazards, and riddles with a calculated plan. Only the most circumspect crews can reach the black dragon and its hoard. In this brutal revival of Baron Sukumvit's infamous labyrinth in Fang, mere survival is not enough. To win the tournament, your party must scour the deadly maze and escape with the most magical gold rings before succumbing to the poisonous gas intermittently flooding the chambers. - System: OD&D 1974 (3LBB without Chainmail)
