Ever since the plague and consequent razing of the abbey over one hundred and eighty years ago, Ryecroft has been left to its fate. An overgrown and unearthly place, most that have heard of it, do their best to avoid it. Some say that the dead roam its memorial strewn grounds, but the knowledgeable believe otherwise… Before her savage death, the old abbess swore that the dead would never rise within its boundaries, and she was mostly right. It is not the dead that trespassers should fear. It is the things below…

Ryecroft is a cemetery crawl location written for Old School Essentials and other B/X retroclones. The location can be set in any fantasy setting, and those familiar with The Midderlands setting will see occasional homages to the setting, making it easy to locate there.
