OSR Review & Commentary On The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel By James Mishler, & Jodi Moran-Mishler From Mishler Games For Your Old School Campaign

 "The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel

By James Mishler and Jodi Moran-Mishler

The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel is the first adventure specifically set in the Isle of Eldisor Hexcrawl Campaign Setting. Designed for use with Labyrinth Lord, it is easily adapted to any OSR-Style Role-Playing Game."

"The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel is an ancient, much-storied flying citadel in the shape of a demon’s head. Since the death of its creator during the Wars of Succession following the Fall of Eldisor, it has passed through the hands of countless villains, who have used the flying tower to raid, pillage, and enslave the peoples of the Ivory Plains and beyond. Terrible tales of wizards, demons, and dragons follow in its wake.

And now it has drifted into a tree-lined ridge near Wulf’s Ferry… right in your own backyard!

What are the inhabitants up to? Are they here to raid or to trade?

What of the rumors of centuries of treasure hidden within?

Are you brave or foolish enough to find out?"




The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel is designed for use with Labyrinth Lord and other OSR-Style Role-Playing Games. Designed for use for a party of 4 to 6 adventurers of 5th to 7th level, its dangers can easily be increased or decreased for more powerful or less experienced parties."

 The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel By James Mishler, & Jodi Moran-Mishler From Mishler Games as it stands is one very nasty & dangerous adventure. And I mean this in the best possible way. Because your going to need at least four experienced players for this adventure. The Mishlers are not pulling any punches here & that's a good thing because what the 
The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel does is set's the stage for a classic dungeon crawl on all levels. 
The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel has a rumor table right out the gate, & there's the classic little old school adventure touches within this adventure. And it's the attention to detail that makes 
The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel work on many levels. Here's let's look at the background for a moment; "The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel is a much-storied edifice in the lore of the Isle of Eldisor. Valdig Fel was a mighty wizard in the service of Eldisor. High in his councils, Fel commanded a small legion of magic-users, sorcerers, warlocks, and other spellcasters of terrible eldritch sort. When Eldisor fell, Fel was at home in his Demon Tower in the Mystery Mountains, then found atop a promontory of Haxafjell, aka Witch Mountain (Hex 3927). The instant the news of Eldisor’s fall spread to the region, chaos ensued." The whole affair of The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel because it places itself right within Mishler Games previous adventures & campaigns. And that's fine because this is a mid level adventure and it works quite nicely on its own merits as both old school & OSR adventure. And what works well within  The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel is going to continue to work at your table top! 
The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel is only three dollar but this Mishler games so its going to be a solid quality product. Would The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel work as a Castles & Crusades rpg adventure?! In a word oh yes! As a mid level adventure for C&C The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel is going put a party throught it's paces easily.  The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel play on its own strengths & these would translate quite nicely over into C&C.  But I can also see The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel working very well as an Adventurer, Conqueror, King rpg adventure with the legions of  Valdig Fel bringing chaos & misery unto a neighboring ACK's kingdom with abandoned! 
All in all I think that the 
The Demon Tower of Valdig Fel  works nicely through its own adventure  agenda & as a deadly little change of pace for experienced old school & OSR players!
