The Infested Morass

(Work in Development!)

The Infested Morass is a system-agnostic microsetting for tabletop games. This project is currently itchfunding for #ZiMo24, and the plan is to make a 32 page fully illustrated zine to be printed at home in color or black and white. By supporting this project right now you'll get access to an early draft and the current sketches, future updates, and the full product as soon as it's finished!

Planned Contents:

• An A2-sized map of the swamp, divided into eight A5 sections in the zine
• An illustrated bestiary with 36 monsters and 6 factions
• A monster/chimera generator to help creating new abominations
• Rules for cooking and eating monster parts to gain their powers
• A list of magical artifacts to be found among the crypts and castle

TLDR: This will be a microseting focused on hunting monsters, not treasure. You will plan incursions to hunt rare beasts, capture them alive or sell their valuable parts in the black market. All factions in this scenario  and their conflicts with each other revolve around this activity.

You can find more information on these contents in the early draft.

Update: This project is not abandoned, but it’s currently on hold.

The A2 swamp map is already fully illustrated and colored (you can find it in the files), but the written material is still too messy and incomplete to share, even as an early draft. Rather than release something I’m not proud of, I’ve decided to pause development until I finish the final book of Beyond the Borderlands, which is my top priority. The scope of this setting is larger than I can responsibly develop right now, and I want to return to it with the time and focus it deserves.

Support for this project still matters, and it will be completed once active development resumes. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
