Screenshot from Dungeon Crawl Classics wikipedia page reading "Remember the good old days, when adventures were underground, NPCs were there to be killed, and the finale of every dungeon was the dragon on the 20th level? Those days are back. Dungeon Crawl Classics don't waste your time with long-winded speeches, weird campaign settings, or NPCs who aren't meant to be killed. Each adventure is 100% good, solid dungeon crawl, with the monsters you know, the traps you fear, and the secret doors you know are there somewhere."

WALK AWAY Unlike everyone else, you’re here by choice. At any time, in any mission, you can abandon your crew to leave this life for good unscathed. You always retire at the highest level possible. This is another way to resist any consequence, no matter how bad. There are doors that will open when you finally say the word, though they may open for you alone. Normally you need 40 coin in your stash to retire at anything above a simple quality of life, but prodigal children are historically rewarded well.
