Servants of the Charnel God (AS&SH Adventure)

After being at one of Talanian's tables at Gamehole Con last year, at which I enjoyed "The Rats in the Walls," I'm FINALLY getting ready to run an AS&SH campaign! I've been running a Viking campaign with the YGGDRASILL system for the last year, and I had been waiting for the hard copy of the second edition of AS&SH. But the anticipation has been too much. I'm running "Rats in the Walls" this coming Monday. And, inspired, I wrote the following after C.A. Smith's "The Charnel God."

I haven't run this yet, obviously, but I'll let everyone know how it goes.

(I don't know why there is an entire white page before the map when I saved to PDF. Sorry about that.)

I don't have time to look at the document at this moment, but I hope it goes well for you! The Charnel God was an important inspiration for me whilst developing the game. Let us know how it goes!

Re: Servants of the Charnel God (AS&SH Adventure)

Hey, Eirvit, question bout the map: Is the whole thing "inside," or is it a compound? That is, the corners--are they supposed to be just solid stone? Also I'm  bit unclear on what the separation into north and south halves means: is that a gap  between two buildings?

Thanks! Am planning to dangle this as a hook in our game on Sunday. Will see if they bite.

Re: Servants of the Charnel God (AS&SH Adventure)

Thank you so much for posting your work here! Very much appreciated. I have the Charnel God vexing my players in my Hyborian Age campaign at the moment... and I might be able to adapt this.

Not much changed, I done a new map, but that is it.
