After my last interview with the Lasombra, I wasn’t sure if I was ready for another round of supernatural terror. But the Gangrel I was scheduled to meet, Erin "Redfang" Calloway, didn’t bother with cryptic notes or shadowy threats. She simply sent a text:

"Meet me in the woods. Midnight. Wear boots. If you smell like city, roll in the dirt first."

I assumed she was joking. She was not joking.

The Setting

Eem is a land of color and wonder: a world with many storied regions and realms teeming with diverse cultures, characters, and creatures. 

Eem is also a land in decay, for the great civilizations of the past crumbled long ago at the hands of the mysterious GLOOM KING. Ever since, the world has declined into an untamed, unchecked land filled with all manner of monsters and fiends, fearsome warlords and, most recently, greedy tycoons...ushering in an unruly industrial age called the DUNGEON ERA. A time chaotically run by rival corporations locked in a never-ending quest to outdo one another in business and expansion. All the while, average folk toil away in mines, factories, and dungeons, eking out a meager existence. 

The southern realm of Eem and seat of corporate power, known as the MUCKLANDS, is broken into six distinct regions. 

THE DRIPPY DOWNS 

One of the few bastions of the old magical world, the Drippy Downs is a land of rolling green hills, home to trolls, faeries, dweorgs and other uncommon species— many doing their best to preserve the heritage of Eem's magical past. 

FLEABAG COUNTY 

The bustling region of Fleabag County is home to the Mucklands' biggest cities. Corrupt politicians and underworld criminals thrive like weeds as average folk toil away in factories and farms. 

QUAGMASH 

A wild region of swamps and bogs where pioneers, adventurers and big game hunters flock to either make names for themselves or succumb to the perilous wilderness full of gators, muckmen, and orches. 

RIVER COUNTRY 

A beautiful green country full of rushing waterways, River Country is not only home to peaceful quortles and peasant folk, but to wily rascals and obscenely wealthy river barons who endlessly duke it out for supremacy on extravagant riverboats. 

SCALAWAG STRAND 

The infamous coastline of the Mucklands, brimming with pirates out to rob seafarers blind—or worse. And if the pirates aren't enough to deter you from the open seas— beware! For upon the peaks of Terror Island, and in the unknowable depths of the ocean, there be monsters! 

THE USED T'BE FOREST 

Home to the tycoons and corporations that fuel the Dungeon Era, the Used T'Be Forest is a barren landscape of cracked earth and felled trees. A true testament to what happens when big business and small moral fiber make a mess of the natural world.

1,500 Random Encounters for Land of Eem (or Any Fantasy World!)

Nine Adventure Modules for Land of Eem!

Adventures in the Mucklands is the first Adventure Module Collection for Land of Eem. It's an anthology of nine short and snappy adventures, all set within the Mucklands realm. Perfect for one-shots, kicking off a new campaign, or dropping into an existing one, these adventures run the gamut of scenarios and tones: from a rollicking heist on a River Baron boat, to a daring runaway bride escapade, and much more in between. Also featured are two dangerous adventures that bookend the sarpathi Eyes of Ehk conflict found within the pages of The Mucklands Sandbox Campaign Setting.

THE GHOST OF BRICKPILE CASTLE: Brickpile Castle sits on a small, lonely island, far from any notion of honour or justice. The castle is said to be haunted, and anyone who spends the night within its walls hurries to leave the place as soon as they can, asking the gods for mercy as they leave. The stubborn lord of the castle, Gerald Giantheart, though, has not yet given up hope of driving away the evil that dwells within his keep, and has tasked some brave adventurers to help him do just this.

WELCOME VAGABONDS, FROM DISTANT REALMS, to The MADDER HAG! Herein our compendious treatise on the Art of Depriving Lives, we declaim an axiom of the Natural Law, (known well by all Good Servants of the Land): fighting is fun.

The MADDER HAG is part of an unfolding campaign setting. Each issue serves as a ‘module‘ fitting together with other issues, or optionally as a stand-alone resource for your own game & setting. The material of each issue is carefully edited to seamlessly integrate with the wording & procedures from the original BX books (assuring compatibility with OSE, Labyrinth Lord, and other old school games).

In This Issue

Turn your Fighter into a tactical power in combat, a commander in war, a leader of Machiavellian or noble factions & houses, and a manipulator of court intrigues; this complete edition packages together a comprehensive manual for martials into a tightly-organized 35 pages.

• Updated fighter class: With simple backgrounds that connect to the new mass combat options, tactical maneuvers for both fighters and monsters, & options for playing to level 36 (as promised but never delivered in the original B/X editions)
• Armor & weapon smithing options: For easily customizing +1 armor, bows, swords, & other weapons
• Feats of giant’s strength: New rules for strength-augmenting magic items inspired by the ‘gauntlets of ogre power’ & ‘girdle of giant strength’ — to include a panoply of new strength-augmenting armor, plus rules for wielding giant swords (& other godlike weapons)
• Extraordinary armor: Roll up new and evocative armor sets for your fighter, enhancing any discovered cursed or magic armor, with lore-rich possibilities such as: hellhound armor (of fire giant strength), berserker of Khaimosh armor, death dealer (of Gh’heima) armor, or a paladin in Hell’s armor (blasted & blighted by travels through infernal & stygian realms), among dozens of other possibilities and combinations
• Giant weapons: Roll up new weapons (including intelligent weapons) for giants & giant demigods (or for fighters, enhanced with giant strength), ranging from ogre mage odachi to hill giant cleavers to storm giant fauchards, to countless other possibilities
• Simple mass combat rules (at a tactical wargaming scale): Organized and formatted on two-page spreads for ease of use, covering downtime wargaming for fighters (akin to the magic-user downtime action for spell research), complete with rules for recruiting, training, and ‘leveling up’ armed forces — earning the fighter a path to the ‘Game of Thrones’; also includes siege warfare mechanics, plus an expansion of the ship to ship combat from the original game to now cover strongholds, equipment, and other siege-scale structures
• Stronghold encounters: Expands the brief castle encounters in the original ‘expert’ edition, to now cover higher level play (and to help the Referee populate a campaign’s hex crawl with a greater variety of human and monstrous strongholds, for use in traditional quest scenarios, or as bases of operation for domains engaged in court intrigues)
• Domain rules: Covering more than mathing out incomes for name-level fighters; these instead integrate fighter leveling into a simple faction & court intrigue mechanic to open up the high level fighter to political maneuvering with noble houses, monstrous powers, and ultimately epic-level threats (while still maintaining the fighter’s role as an adventurer); also includes simple faction rules for diplomacy, subterfuge & double-dealing, hiring and sending out armies (plus additional one-roll procedures for warfare at a strategic-level scale)
• Plus: Complete stronghold construction & domain rulership rules, a breakdown of higher tiers of play (to 36th level), & more

Elegantly packaged in a well-designed 35 pages.

Playtesting

The MADDER HAG issues will introduce & explore a new campaign setting: written & run by a designer who started playing the original basic & expert editions (Moldvay/Cook) & advanced first edition (Gygax, et al.) of the Game of Games, back in the early 1980s; & play-tested by a modern generation of adventurers aged 13 to 16 newly introduced to TTRPGs, along with adults aged 40 to 50.
