Somethings Stinks in the Undercroft

A few weeks ago, that amazing fellow +Daniel Sell took an adventure I wrote and released it as an issue of the popular LotFP zine, "The Undercroft". It's called Something Stinks in Stilton, a LotFP adventure aimed at low level characters based in the English town of Stilton, and its my first ever published adventure. I'm ever so proud, and would love for people to see what I'm so proud about by buying it in either PDF or Print format. Personally I'd advise the print format, its still very cheap!

+Anxious P. did an amazing cover for it that does the craziness of the adventure justice, and hopefully I can see some of his work improving my adventures again in the future.

I've had some lovely feedback regarding SSiS so far but I received an interesting piece from +Paul Fricker today, spoilers ahead:

Paul asked how long the daughter had been down in the basement for, and pointed out that cows only give milk when they're calving, yet the ones in the basement are implied to be perpetually giving milk. I put this down to the nature of the broken magic in play but.. well, if you want to make things darker in your game why not consider ways in which Cooper is keeping the Cows in such a state? Is he taking advantage of his own daughter and the other inmates in their twisted state? Is he forcing captured men to do so? It depends on how you prefer your Cooper - a broken, twisted man or an insane, dangerous monster barely hanging onto normality. Thanks to Paul for this excellent idea, I wish I'd thought of it during writing!

Something to think on. Anyway, please check out Something Stinks in Stilton and please run it! I'd love to hear some feedback on how its gone in other games. I'm currently working on a new adventure that's considerably more corrupt and messed up, so stay tuned.
