Screams drift out of a horrid vault. Smoke envelops a lonely peak. Lights dance over a far away vale. Footsteps approach in a dark, dark cave.
How do you proceed, you bastard?
Bastardized Classics seek to recreate classic modules with a modern sensibility. Experience adventures as old as the hobby in a compact format, with a rules-lite design ethos. Designed with Micah Anderson’s Bastards. system in mind, Bastardized Classics are easily adapted to any version of dragon games.
Vault of Doom reimagines the much acclaimed S1 Tomb of Horrors, while Peak of Woe gives a new set of eyes to the wonderful S2 White Plume Mountain. Vale of Stars and Cave of Fiends are set to release Summer 2023.
We wish to ensure that all contributors are paid for their hard work. Once all is said and done, we will fund a physical release of the first two zines: Vault of Doom, and Peak of Woe.
Vault of Doom, and Peak of Woe are written, ready for the table, but that's only the beginning! As we speak, two more supplements are in development: Vale of Stars, which revisits S3 Expedition to the Barrier Peaks; and Cave of Fiends, a reexamination of S4 The Lost Caverns of Tsojcanth.

Is this project still active? I was a big fan of the first two modules and would hate to see this go unfinished.
We're still planning on releasing the subsequent modules, life stuff has gotten in the way and delayed some work
Any news on Vale of Stars? I've been anxiously looking forward to it <3
Still working on it! These classics are tough nuts to crack.
Had the pleasure of talking about the Bastardized Classics with Dieku Games podcast’s Game Pitch. Check it out!
Jon and I talk to Ryan and Hunter about this project on the Weekly Scroll podcast!
Here is a play-thru of Peak of Woe on PlusOneEXP.
Damn, the latest VoD is so sweet! love all the art, colors, composition, cover. hope to run solo sometime this spring
Will this be available in print?
Eventually! That's what we're funding!
Just checking, nothing is available to purchase yet?
Correct, the downloads won't be available until February! This is a prelaunch page to get the word out.
Thanks! Eagerly awaiting the releases!
