Secret Name, The (OSR)

To know a being’s true name is to hold power over it. The arcane fetters binding a summoned creature to a conjurer’s command are tied to its name. Celestials, fiends and even gods must yield to the sovereignty of their one, true name.

ABOUT DUNGEON BACKDROPS

You are a GM, but you are busy. You want to write your own modules, but you just don’t have the time. And you don’t want to use commercial modules. You want to make your campaign your own. That’s where the Dungeon Backdrop line comes in! Each Dungeon Backdrop presents a fully fleshed out and lovingly detailed self-contained dungeon ready for you to use as you see fit. Stock the dungeon with your own monsters (and—perhaps—their treasure), decide their back story and you are good to go.

Every Dungeon Backdrop is carefully designed to be easily inserted into almost any fantasy campaign and is compatible with virtually any fantasy roleplaying game. Dungeon Backdrops: they describe the dungeon, you add the monsters (and the treasure).
