Beneath the Radiant Dome!

Beneath the Radiant Dome, the acclaimed science-fantasy dungeon adventure by Gavin Norman, is now available on the Necrotic Gnome store!

Beneath a mysterious, prismatic-hued dome, adventurers will discover sprawling caverns haunted by dimensional monstrosities, wizard laboratories warped by magical experiments gone awry, and fabled arcane relics. 

Designed for around six characters of 4th–6th level, this weird and wonderful dungeon crawl features 83 keyed areas across two levels, providing 6–8 sessions of play with minimal preparation.

Originally published in 2012 as part of the Psychedelic Fantasies line, this revised and expanded edition comes in a deluxe 56-page A5 hardcover, with sewn binding, map-printed endpapers, and striking art throughout by Andrew Walter. A fantastic addition to any Old-School Essentials campaign!
