Door Hoard of the Door Lords

A DOOR appeared in the wilderness. Dark wood and ornate decorations standing alone in its frame. Most are scared to touch it. A brave few have opened it and seen it is a portal to a blindingly white space.

Nobody has gone inside yet.

----------------------------------------

Door Hoard of the Door Lords is a funhouse dungeon in the old-school style known to some as Door D&D. It features 44 rooms on three inter-connected levels, each with a surprising new location, treasure, or monster inside. Characters dropped into the top level must work their way down to the bottom and find the portal out hidden within one of the rooms. However, each door they open makes them weaker and makes the mysterious creators of this dungeon stronger, eventually returning them to full power.

The dungeon is designed for Cairn but easily convertible to other old school games.
