BF3: Strongholds of Sorcery is a detailed module for a tabletop role-playing game, providing a comprehensive map and description of a castle overrun by madness. The text meticulously outlines numerous rooms, inhabitants (both human and monstrous), puzzles, and encounters, including detailed game statistics for characters and creatures. The Tower of Light presents a similar dungeon crawl scenario in a separate location, offering a different set of challenges and characters with equally specific game details. House of Coldarius offers another self-contained adventure involving a vampire and his minions within a gothic mansion.

Fortress, Tomb, and Tower presents multiple interconnected adventure scenarios within a fantasy game setting.

Separate adventures explore a dragon's scheme, an NPC party's activities within the fortress, and the secrets within a lizard-man temple. Detailed descriptions of rooms, monsters, and treasure are provided for a game master to use. Game mechanics and character statistics are included for players.
