The Howling Tower (also known as Arduin Dungeon Number Two) was a standalone short story and gaming module written in 1979 by David A. Hargrave and published by Grimoire Games. It was based upon Hargrave's gaming system known as Arduin. It is the second of only four standalone "dungeon" books created by Hargrave as an extension of his Arduin Multiverse, which at the time of The Howling Tower's publication was known as The Arduin Trilogy.
Arduin Dungeon No. 2: The Howling Tower is an adventure scenario for player characters of 1st to 4th level, set in a dungeon with nine levels.[1]
At 32 pages, The Howling Tower contains maps, descriptions, a short story, and overviews, with detailed room descriptions and trap matrices, two ground level dungeons and six tower levels with eight pocket sized magic artifact cards and eight illustrated monster cards with statistics. [2]
Cover illustrations are by Greg Espinoza, back cover and interior illustrations are by Erol Otus.
System
While designed for use with the Arduin gaming system, The Howling Tower is usable with any d20 or other RPG system. The module was recommended for characters level 1 thru 4 (in the Arduin universe).
