Sailors on the Starless Sea is the adventure that made Dungeon Crawl Classics famous — and it's still one of the most celebrated introductory modules in the OSR. Simple peasants investigate ruins that have been silent for generations, descend into ancient crypts, navigate an underground sea by torchlight, and face the corrupted legacy of the Chaos Lords atop a crumbling ziggurat.
It's a Level 0 character funnel — a Goodman Games signature format where each player controls multiple hapless villagers. Most of them will die dramatically. The survivors become your actual campaign characters, shaped by what happened to them. Fast, brutal, and genuinely memorable. Widely considered the ideal first DCC RPG session.
