The Long Descent

A book, a d6 and a pencil. That is all you need to take a Crusader beneath the Underchapel. Each time you finish a chapter, move along a passage. You might find a shrine, something useful, or a horror waiting in the next room. Keep your Nerve, watch your Dread, and try to reach the Sanctum before the dark keeps you. The rules, map, encounters and trackers fit on a double-sided bookmark. What you get A4 double-sided PDF: three bookmarks per sheet, with rules on the front and the map and trackers on the back.
