Escape from Death Island!

Be ye hearty & hale peasantry, seeking more than mere sustenance for a life of back-breaking toil? Or indeed, be ye less than hale and somewhat beset by tremors, ready for a happy & assured retirement, yet sadly lacking in pension funds? Seek ye a life of ease and plenty, but with barely a groat to thy name? GREAT NEWS, FORSOOTH! "Ballast class" passage is now available on the momentous first sailing of Her Imperial Majesty's Ship "Unsinkable" - verily without charge, for such ambitious folk as thineselves! Keep thy goats and groats, live thy very dreams and set sail for ASSURED* LONG LIFE & PROSPERITY in the Blessed Lands Across The Shining Sea!  

*(Unfortunately the insurers of HIMS Unsinkable cannot redeem ballast-class passenger claims for unforeseen shipwreck or  horrible death or dismemberment, etc, but nonetheless wish ye the very best of fortune on your voyage) 

This adventure is a Dungeon Crawl Classics “funnel” - where each player controls 4 zero-level peasants, hoping for at least one to survive and become a grizzled 1st level adventure.  Think of them as an unruly, fear-filled mob, from which a competent and/or lucky few will emerge as heroes. No previous of DCC or RPG experience required! The game system is rules-light old school D&D. Randomly pre-generated peasants will be provided. If you have them, bring your full set of Zocchi dice - DCC uses d3, d4, d5, d6, d7, d8, d10, d12, d16, d20, d24, d30, d% (mainly because arbitrary use of weird dice is fun) - but you don't need 'em and can share my set for the game.
