A Village, a Witch, some additional Weirdness...

Do you want to challenge your players with some witch burning material with unpredictable outcomes?

How about stress them out that it's not clear where is good and where is evil?

Fires are already burning and someone must do something!

This module is designed to generate a Village, a Witch, and some additional weirdness: two pages with die-drop tables to outline the village (map and content), and two pages with a series of random tables to generate a Witch and its connection to the village.

Compatible with Old-School Essentials and other OSR adventuring games

Rather than an adventure, this module helps you design a situation: it’s the setup of a series of unbalanced pieces, with their tendency to generate chaos upon interaction.  If the characters simply stay in the village, they’ll witness some weirdness and violence. They might not get involved, doing their best to keep a distance, but events will happen nevertheless.

February 1902, somewhere on the North Atlantic. Mountainous waves blot out the horizon, and the wind and thunder roar too loud to tell one from the other. But 200 ft down there’s only still cold darkness and the submarine.

No one has ever dived this deep before, so far from shore and safety. Maybe no one was ever meant to try. The submarine is 170 feet of dripping pipes and fogged up dials, levers rusting stuck in the damp. It was two weeks into the voyage when things started going wrong. Little accidents, inexplicable mistakes. Someone heard a noise, like tapping, soft against the hull last night. Bright paint flakes off a torpedo and underneath there is a story scratched into the metal. The Captain turns down a hallway that can’t be there, into pipes and steel and miles of ocean.

The one thing keeping you safe down here has turned into a labyrinth.

Crush Depth Apparition is an eerie survival horror stand alone adventure zine for 3-5 players and a GM by Amanda Lee Franck. It includes rules for running and repairing a state of the art (of 120 years ago) experimental submarine, a map of the ocean, an unnatural labyrinth, ghostly encounters, hundreds of things that can go wrong, and a crew that depends on you.
