Borant Corporation Presents: Dungeon Crawler World: Sphesia!

Dungeon Crawler World is the official name for the reality tunneling sensation in the Dungeon Crawler Carl books. The Syndicate Government commissions corporations to do Crawls as part of the process of claiming resources from various planets. When a "Crawl" is initiated, sentient creatures living on the planet are informed they may enter the Dungeon to compete for the right to reclaim their planet from the resource harvesting process. PCs are members of a race living on Sphesia, a planet slated for harvesting. You’ve entered this dungeon to fight your way through 18 levels of violence and mayhem in the hopes of winning back your home world, or at a minimum to get opportunities for Dungeon Crawler World Indenturehood-Contracts and, eventually, Syndicate citizenship!

Long Description

“Hello, Crawlers! Welcome to Level 4 of Dungeon Crawler World! Yes, we are aware that the Sluggalos and Danger Dingos on the previous level were a little bit harder for you all to defeat than our designers intended. We’re sorry you suffered almost double the number of casualties we were expecting for that level, but rest assured, we have dialed down those NPCs and will re-evaluate the challenge ratings of all the other NPCs in due time.

“But moving on, Level 4 is going to be based on a classic game from multiple syndicate cultures we call College of Conquerors! The idea for you simpler species is: you will form a small team and have to fight your way across a field of battle and hold the enemy’s home base for a specified period of time. Once you have captured a point, you’ll gain valuable prizes! Then you will move to another field and do it all again. Will those valuable prizes improve your odds on certain other maps? Maybe! Who knows? Well... you would have if your inferior species had developed this game like this on your world!

“You have 10 minutes to pick your starting field and team. So let’s all get out there and Kill, Kill, Kill!”
