Dark Tower

The original Dark Tower adventure by Paul Jaquays updated for D20! An Ancient Evil has overtaken a once holy shrine. Thus, a sleepy mountain hamlet becomes a focal point for mysterious disappearances and even stranger legends of what lurks beneath the village. Would any group of adventurous souls dare to probe the facts that lie behind the myths, or seek to right ancient wrongs, rescue secreted artifacts, or... even attempt to exterminate the source of evil itself? This is no quest for the weak of spirit or strength. Beyond the cellars of Mitra's Fist lie strong allies and strange enemies, undead and undying, each seeking to involve the unwary in a titanic battle of good against evil, which can only end in destruction.

Treasury of
Archaic Names

This handy Judges reference provides tables for the random generation of olden names, nicknames, titles, towns, and tavern names for fantasy (and science-fiction) role-playing games. The English language and it antecendants such as Celtic, Teutonic, Scandinavian, Latin, and Greek tongues have been used as sources, so that name meanings would be on the fringes of the familiar and exotic simultaneously. A good name will establish a character's personality, or an inn's or village's atmosphere and history; it encourages a credible rapport and reminds players that all of the characters have a strong self-interest and identity in the game. Various tables are provided with extensive guidelines to their application. The tables provide over 320,000 possible name combinations.
