Hello! And a suspiciously brittle and overly cheerful welcome to the home page of Red Bog Games, a new venture into the chill, claggy morass of role playing games by me, Graham Tugwell. Gloriously unburdened by such crass considerations as economic sustainability or any sense of consumer needs, but guided instead by a bullheaded and selfish desire to write only what I want to write on any given day, Red Bog Games aims to produce strange and creative content compatible with a wide array of game systems. Odd adventures? Bizarre creatures? Elaborate worlds, characters, and situations? We’ve got them all! Peruse our growing selection below and pepper your games with conspicuously excellent nuggets of wonder that will leave your players amused/baffled/outraged/bereft!

LAST NIGHT IN LÖSSEN
Bizarre lights flare in the night sky over the bleak, backwater town of Lössen. In the streets stricken townspeople shamble in a daze, slowly building with handfuls of broken brick a peculiar structure at the heart of town. In the shadows, teeming with the sounds and scents of distant jungles, spectral lizards wait and watch…
The Old Baron, they say, has returned from his long wanderings…
And something has returned with him…
Last Night in Lössen is a short adventure of ancient magics and modern betrayals, set in a town increasingly riven with hysteria and paranoia as strange phenomena threaten to overwhelm the populace. Designed for low level players and perfect for Games Masters looking for an introductory campaign, Last Night in Lössen is compatible with all roleplaying systems, including D&D 5th Edition. This resource contains a five-part adventure, a map, and stats for its full cast of characters. Pick up your copy HERE.
