Introduction

Caverns of the Snow Witch was the ninth of the

Fighting Fantasy series of books. First published in

1984, this revolutionary new idea, part book part

game, gave the reader a unique experience - a fantasy

adventure where you are the hero.

The Fighting Fantasy series has 59 titles to date

and has sold over 15 million copies worldwide and

has been translated into over 20 languages. The

Warlock of Firetop Mountain alone sold over 2 million

copies. Now the Fighting Fantasy books are being

re-released allowing a new generation of players to

explore the Citadel of Chaos, confront the Warlock of

Firetop Mountain or get lost in the Forest of Doom.

This book is a conversion of Caverns of the Snow

Witch into a D20 role-playing game scenario. The

original books were a solo experience; we have writ-

ten this scenario to allow players to challenge the

Snow Witch on their own or as part of a group of

adventurers. The inclusion of the new Luck rules give

the single player a good chance of success without

making groups of players too powerful.

The Fighting Fantasy books could be picked up

and played with a minimum of preparation, we have

written this scenario to reflect this including pregen-

erated characters, full colour maps and other play aids

to get you started quickly. For more information about

Roleplay games, Fighting Fantasy and the Caverns

of the Snow Witch visit the Myriador website:

Adventure Summary

The Snow Witch dwells within the Crystal Caverns.

These fabled Caverns are located in the frozen heights

of the Icefinger Mountains on Allansia.

You are working as a caravan guard for Big Jim Sun

when the outpost you are headed to is attacked by a

savage monster. Tracking this monster takes you into

a the long lost labyrinth of the Crystal Caverns ... and

beyond.

Caverns of the Snow Witch is an adventure designed

for single adventurers or small adventuring groups

based on the Fighting Fantasy book of the same

name

Preparation

In addition to the books required (as stated on the

cover of this product), which will be referred to as the

DMG, PHB and MM, a set of polyhedral dice (D4, D6,

D8, D10, D12 and D20) is also needed to play. Pull out

Character sheets of the four pre-generated characters

can be found in Appendix 4 - Characters.

Full colour maps and pre-generated character sheets

can be downloaded free from www.myriador.com

Quick Play

One of the great attractions of the Fighting Fantasy

series of books is that it is very easy to pick up a book

and start playing, everything you need is provided in

the books, you just need to grab a pencil to get straight

into the action. We have tried to write this scenario in

the same way, providing you with everything we can

so that you can get on and play the game without hav-

ing to spend ages preparing. Simply hand out the pre-

generated characters, get your dice and start playing.

Detailed dungeon floor plans, pregenerated charac-

ter sheets with rules' summaries and character and

monster tokens are available free to owners of this

book

and

can

downloaded

from

www.myriador.com

Notes are included in the back of this book to help

you integrate this scenario into an ongoing campaign,

or visit our website: www.myriador.com where more

information can be found about Titan, the Fighting

Fantasy world.

Campaign Integration

Although this scenario is designed to be played as a

stand-alone adventure using the pregenerated charac-

ters provided or a party of newly created 8th level

characters, there is no reason why it couldn't be used

as a part of an on-going campaign. Guidelines and

advice are included in the appendices to help you

integrate this scenario into an on-going campaign and

suggestions are included about adjusting difficulty

levels (see Appendix 3 - Campaign Play ).

How to use this Book

The first pages of this scenario contain background

information for the DM. Later pages contain the rules

for the new (optional) Luck ability, these rules should

be studied by the DM and the players. Towards the

back of the book you will find summaries of new

monsters, spells and magic items as well as advice

about integrating this adventure into your campaigns.

The bulk of the book contains the scenario informa-

tion. Each location entry in the scenario is shown on

the main map provided, a full colour 1" = 5 feet map

of each location can be obtained free from: www.myr-

iador.com A description of each location is provided

for the DM detailing its contents and any monsters

present. The shaded text boxes contain information

that the DM can either read out or paraphrase to the

players. Other information should be kept secret from

the players until they discover it. Descriptions of how

each monster is likely to react are included in the

room descriptions. The DM controls all the creatures

within the adventure except the player characters and

is free to change their behaviour as he / she sees fit.

The DM is advised to read through the scenario at

least once before you play.

Using Maps & Miniatures

Using maps and miniature figures adds a whole new

dimension to playing this game, they help the DM to

'set the scene' and players to see where characters and

monsters are, what the dungeon looks like and make

combat more exciting and realistic.

Full colour maps, pregenerated character sheets and

character and monster tokens are all available free to

owners of this book from; www.myriador.com (make

sure you have your copy of this book available when

downloading these free extras)
