A Familiar Tower — Preorder!

When the wizard's away, the cat will play...

A Familiar Tower is an escape room adventure in the style of the puzzle box dungeons of The Legend of Zelda series.

A decade after the wizard Esmis Mer disappeared, his manse still hums with secrets, treasure, and exotic magic. Step inside his impossible tower and twist its logic to your advantage. Those who master its secrets may escape with wonders. Those who don’t… tend to hang around.

What is a puzzle dungeon?

It's more than rooms filled with puzzles, the dungeon is the puzzle. Each space teaches players about the unique mechanics of the dungeon or re-contextualizes previous information in new ways. A Familiar Tower delivers challenges that feel natural to its world—mechanics that click into place the moment you discover how they work.

What's inside?

A Familiar Tower is a 40-page staple-bound booklet, half-letter size (5.5" x 8.5"), with minimal colors. Inside you'll find about 15 areas and enough content for 3 to 5 hours of play. Perfect for a one-shot, convention game, or to drop into an existing campaign world. Its designed for use with Old School Essentials characters of 3rd level.

All art is by Skullboy, aka Better Legends, aka Sam Mameli.
