The Church of the Drowned Man

Then three time round went our gallant ship
And three time round went she,
Three time round went our gallant ship
And she sank to the bottom of  the sea.

The Church of  the Drowned Man is a 12 page, fully illustrated zine made for the Fallen Jam 2022. Within it, rogues are tasked with delivering a letter to the fishing village of Odspoole and determining what has been terrorising the fishermen from beneath the waves. Focused around mystery and roleplaying, the zine offers mysteries and plot hooks suitable for any campaign or quest using an OSR inspired ruleset.

This zine includes:

• MYSTERIES AND RUMOURS - a collection of hooks and plot points suitable for any campaign! Why are dead fish washing up filled with black oil? What happened to the Count's son? Who is living in the shipwreck?
• 3 PREMADE NPCS - The mysterious Fisherman's Wife, the dishevelled Gull Boy and the hardened Priest, all ready to be used with their own storylines.
• A NIGHTMARISH NEW HORROR- The grotesque Queen of the Deep has emerged from beneath the waves to torment Odspoole; will the rogues be able to vanquish her or will they sink to a watery grave?
