Stories from the Slough
 |
Welcome to the festering swamp. The odd bog. The Seeping Slough. A weird swamp hex-crawl adventure that will have players exploring a dangerous location that contains two dungeons¸ a village¸ several unique characters¸ monsters¸ and whimsical filth.
This is an adventure for any fantasy or magical post-apocalyptic roleplaying game. Players can be any level from low to middle tier characters¸ but higher-level characters may find the bog just as fun to explore¸ albeit with less danger.
This project was created for Zine Quest 3 and as part of a stretch goal two companion zines. Slough: Beasts and Beauties and Slough: Survival Guide.
What's in the adventure? 19 Hexes to explore: Each hex is a mile-wide stretch of swamp¸ and requires one hour to trudge through. 2 Dungeons: Each takes only a page for the map¸ and a few pages for the content. A witches cabin larger on the inside¸ and a gaping wound that leads into the behemoth that rots under the swamp. 6 Special NPC Stories: There are more than 6 characters in the adventure¸ but these six are special. They have their own story to explore¸ their own goals and quests¸ and really make the adventure feel alive. Several factions: Factions ranging from the strange but peaceful villagers to blood worshiping cultists to followers of a plant god. Physical Edition differences
The physical edition combines Stories from the Slough with Slough: Beasts and Beauties and Slough: Survival Guide. Beasts and beauties adds additional information for all of the monsters in the slough¸ while the survival guide adds an additional list of encounter tables.
