Mini Quest: Curse of the Amber Princess' six pages David Dudka creates a nice mid point Egyptian themed or lost city adventure perfect as a roll up for a Castles & Crusades campaign. 'Mini Quest: Curse of the Amber Princess'  is a 'pay what you want' adventure & has a full range of encounters & adventure hooks to get the party of players on board. 

Without giving away too much for 'Mini Quest: Curse of the Amber Princess' the adventure uses two or three traditional adventure introduction hooks. There's some good encounter twists & turns. And just the right amount of suspense. This makes 'Mini Quest: Curse of the Amber Princess'  this an excellent adventure for Castles & Crusades even though its meant for Math erm Pathfinder rpg. Almost six months ago Castles & Crusades Troll Lords  went through a full on Egyptian style campaign push for the Mythos line. 

Castles & Crusades Codex Egyptium is a solid campaign setting book perfect for dropping 'Mini Quest: Curse of the Amber Princess' into the mix as a possible campaign starter.

The PC's go exploring 'the tomb lands' of your home campaign setting. 'Mini Quest: Curse of the Amber Princess' is a pay what you want adventure everything here is perfect for beginning level PC's but its gonna require a bit of prep work on the DM's part. And there are simply one eneny NPC here but two that could become party NPC enemies that could dog a party in a game campaign for the better part of a year or more.

'Mini Quest: Curse of the Amber Princess' be used with say another OSR Sword & Sorcery rpg?! Yes Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea springs to mind immediately. Set 'Mini Quest: Curse of the Amber Princess' within the 'Diamond Desert' & your ready to go!
