The Crypt of St. Bethesda (2000)

From the front cover:

Out of Body, Out of Mind is a d20 System adventure booster designed for 5-8 characters levels 2-4. It can be played as a stand-alone adventure or dropped into any ongoing campaign setting.

From the back cover:

Not all threats lurk in the wilderness, and not all dungeons lie far from the realms of man. The gravest threats appear in the heart of civilization, hiding beneath harmless veneers and waiting for the moment to strike.

You and your friends find yourself in a large and prosperous city... Your path takes you through a dark area of the city: the cemetery district, where fields of graves jostle against ancient churches and family crypts. Off in the distance somewhere, you hear a scream, but there's no way to tell where it came from, so you ignore it. Rounding a corner soon after, one of you stumbles over something in the dark.

At first, you think it's just a pile of garbage, but a closer inspection reveals something much grislier: a human corpse, its face frozen in a picture of fear. Several stab marks ooze fresh blood from its belly, and its flesh is marred by what appear to be acid stains. The skin is warm to the touch and some of the injuries still smoke. He's not been dead more than a few minutes....

"Halt!" The clink of mail, and the sound of running feet break up your examination. A squad of city guardsman--several blocks away but closing fast--flash their lanterns in your direction.

"Murderers!" the cry goes up. "Halt in the name of the watch!"

This doesn't look good.

 

Series I Number 2: Darkwoods' Secret (2001)

From the back cover:

The summer squall has passed you by overnight, and you awake to the dull purples of a clearing sky and rising sun. Cool mist brushes past your face as you gather your things and prepare to break camp.

Pressing on you soon find that the plains are coming to an end: A distant range of mountains has risen over the horizon, and the tall grasses soon give way to scrub, and the scrub then gives way to ancient oaks. As you pass beneath the first green leaves, the last of the clouds have been burnt away and a bright sun stands starkly against a clear sky of blue. Your feet seem light upon the earth, and friendly banter soon erupts.

Then, as quickly as the stars had seemed to align themselves in your favor, the moment is shattered: An arrow, straight and true, lodges itself in the dust at your feet.

Instantly you are aware of the figures all about you--figures slim and fair, with slanted features and tapered ears.

"Welcome to the Forest of Athan."

In many ways "Dungeon!" is similar to Dungeons & Dragons, although much simplified and transformed into a board game. Players explore a dungeon that is divided into levels of increasing difficulty, fighting monsters for valuable treasure. As players venture deeper into the dungeon, the monsters become more difficult and the treasure more valuable. Several character classes each have slightly different fighting abilities – most notably the wizard, who can cast spells. Combat is simulated using dice; players roll the dice to attack a monster, and if unsuccessful, the dice are rolled to determine the effect of the monster's counter-attack.

The winner is the first player to bring a certain amount of treasure back to the Dungeon's entrance.

 

Call of Cthulhu (1st Edition) (1981) - 2nd Printing

From the back of the box:

Enter the awesome universes of the Cthulhu Mythos, those dread tales in which magic, science, arcane lore, and dark destinies irrevocably sear the lives of those for whom the bizarre and the curious have unseemly attraction.

Specially designed to portray the situations and denizens of the Mythos, CALL OF CTHULHU uses a variant of the BRP system, adding characteristics for Sanity and Education. The first book included is Basic Role-Playing itself.

The second (and by far the largest) book is Call of Cthulhu, which explains the characteristics, skills, occupations, and resources available to Investigators, the many beings specific to the Mythos (deep ones, flying polyps, dimensional shamblers, shantaks, cthonians [sic], Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, etc.), full rules for magic and the use of the famous books (the Necronomicon, De Vermiis Mysteriis, Unaussprechlichen Kulten, etc.) which have fascinated readers for decades. This book translates the Mythos fiction into FRP terms. Scenarios are drawn in the style of Lovecraft, not directly from specific stories.

The third book is A Sourcebook for the 1920’s, consisting of non-Mythos data–price lists, plans, maps, distances, thumbnail biographies, as well as garden-variety monsters upon which budding Investigators can sharpen their skills.

There are character and monster silhouettes for play, record sheets, a world map of ‘dig’ sites, and six dice: 1D4, 3D6, 1D8, and 1D20.

Eldritch Horrors!

“…its rugose, dead-eyed rudiment of a head swayed drunkenly from side to side. Its forepaws were extended, with talons spread wide, and its whole body was taut with murderous malignity.”

—H. P. Lovecraft

Most of the content was made for the miniature game, but the RPG used the same mechanics. The RPG was defined in one of the books included in the box called: Vol 3 Characters.

Years ago, brave heroes put the denizens of the Temple of Elemental Evil to the sword. Now, dark forces whisper again in the shadows of the once-deserted temple - forces far more insidious and dangerous than any sane person could dream. Evil has risen again to threaten the village of Hommlet.
