Our take on Mystery at Morgoth
Rather than treating the party as a disposable combat roster, the game makes survival part of the campaign structure through permanent death, resurrection costs, hunger, and equipment management alongside turn-based battles.
What is Mystery at Morgoth?
Mystery at Morgoth is a fantasy role-playing adventure set in Qaedon during the Age of Chaos.
Players build a party of 4-6 characters from Human, Elf, Dwarf, Half-Elf, and Halfling options, with classes including Warriors, Rogues, Clerics, Battlemages, Mages, and multiclass units. The campaign spans overland areas, buildings, and dungeons, with quests, traps, items, spells, and tactical turn-based battles on square grids. Characters gain experience, attributes, equipment, and spellbooks from three schools of magic. Units can die permanently unless resurrected. A party from The Curse of Feldar Vale can be imported, while a completed party can be exported to The Dark Tower.
