The Lair of the Bog Lich
A downloadable adventure
Something ancient and terrible lurks in the swamp...
A village deep within the steaming marshlands is experiencing strange phenomena. More and more villagers rise from their beds at night in a mindless stupor, wandering out into the bog never to be seen again. The desperate villagers have promised a great reward to anyone who can find their loved ones and stop whatever dark magick stole them away.
The Lair of the Bog Lich is a micro-adventure zine made for all manner of OSR and OSR-adjacent systems. It is set deep within a bubbling swamp in the hinterlands of the realm where an unseen menace is stealing villagers away in their sleep.
What's Inside?
- The Lair, an underground heap where the bog lich goes about its sinister machinations.
- Adventure hooks to allow for easy integration into any campaign.
- Random encounters to spice up the journey to the Lair.
- Hand-illustrated map of the Lair.
- 8+ random tables to provide some suitably swampy flavour.
- 3 mud-encrusted foes to fight, including the titular bog lich.
- Sinister Illustrations by Simone Tammetta.

Oops, I forgot about the Dessicate spell. It does damage that bypasses armour, suggesting an ablative system à la Into the Odd. Your stat blocks however use THAC0.
thank you very much for the pointers! I'll upload an updated version of the PDF in the coming days.
finally updated!
Hi there. I just read my KS copy and wanted to report a couple things in case you want to update the PDF here =)
