Once inside that ancient edifice. they can explore its more than 200 rooms and hallways -- libraries, temples, galleries and much more -- as well as its four underground-level dungeons. This infamous haunted manse is fraught with deadly perils! In its labyrinth passageways lurk menaces, monstrosities and magicks fell and loud? A moderately experienced Gamemaster will find that the extensively detailed room descriptions quickly set the scene and mood for the excitement to follow. In addition to the usual quests for wealth, powerful magicks or glory.

Can they root out the evil which emanates from the fortress to threaten the surrounding countryside? Can they locate the Cauldron of Regeneration or the other potent wizardry hidden here-flying carpets, magical statues and more? Can they liberate a most unique prisoner and complete a quest for justice? Or close the portal to Hell itself?In addition to werewolves, vampires and lichen, evil spirits and sinister secrets, one may encounter wry humor or fiendish puns-and perhaps the rare tome or important alchemist's aid to be found therein.TEGEL MANOR can provide many sessions of mesmerizing mystery and frantic action for your campaign, with whatever fantasy role-playing game system you favor. Included are a Gamemaster's and players' versions of the map of the manse itself, as well as maps of the levels below, and of the surrounding countryside.
