HYPERBOREA / Servants of the Charnel God (AS&SH Adventure)

Poul Anderson · **Posted by Eirvit** 9/16/2017 4:09 pm

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!

Nice one! Thanks, Eirvit.

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.

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.

Just read through this. Nice work. Looks like a solid short adventure!

Basically did a tidy of Eirvit's scenario..

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