Worm Tumor by Logan Knight at the Last Gasp blog
A while back, we played the excellent body horror adventure The Sleeping Place of the Feathered Swine by Logan Knight (see his blog Last Gasp here).
The adventure is free and can be gotten here
I inserted it into my Blood & Treasure Complete game set in the Lost Lands (by Frog God Games) and it was a blast! We’re currently running Stoneheart Valley, but I’m using it as an extended sandbox so we’ve had a lot of adventures not detailed in that book. It’s a pretty standard D&D fantasy world, albeit on the low fantasy side if compared to for example Forgotten Realms. A bit like Greyhawk with some Realms of Crawling Chaos thrown into the mix if you will. As the players were in the “standard fantasy D&D” mindset, this little gem of an adventure really threw them off their feet!
The adventure is written for Lamentations of the Flame Princes, so for those interested, here’s the B&T stats for the creepy monsters in the adventure module:
Lesser Worm Tumor
Large Aberration, Chaotic Evil (CE), Animal intelligence, Hive (2d6)
HD: 2
AC: 10

And the rest you’ll have to read in the adventure 😉
