Gnome Jambalaya
Gnome Jambalaya by Daniel J. Bishop
This adventure is dedicated to my middle child¸ Ryan¸ who wanted the chance to play traditional gnomes in the Dungeon Crawl Classics game! In playtests¸ the players were each given 3 gnome characters and 1 faerie animal¸ although the judge may choose to use any character types with only a few adjustments.
This adventure assumes use of the Gnome class first outlined in Crawl! Fanzine Issue #6¸ by Yves Larochelle. That class is reproduced herein¸ by permission¸ with some expansion related to 0-level gnomes added by myself. The author recommends a mixture of gnomes and faerie animal characters be used¸ and both the Faerie Animal class and details on animal types for the Blackwater Bayou region are supplied. Finally¸ a table of occupations suitable for the swampfolk is included.
Although the debt this adventure owes to H.P. Lovecraft's The Colour out of Space is obvious¸ another debt is owed to Manly Wade Wellman's The Devil's Asteroid.
