The
Bog God’s Champion is a free unofficial Dungeon Crawl Classics
adventure by Paul Wolfe, published
by Mystic Bull Games. It is
available on the Mystic Bull Games website. The adventure makes use of the “Patron Monday” feature on the Mystic
Bull blog, particularly (but not exclusively) the patron Myrddin.
There are a
couple of small errors and omissions (Con instead of Stamina; specifics of
Mohgd’s disease; what happens if you follow the corpse candles in the swamp?)
but nothing that a good judge couldn’t handle. Overall, what you get is an interesting,
flavorful location-based adventure with a storyline that the PCs can engage in
however they so desire. The adventure could easily be used in a Crawling
Under a Broken Moon or Mutant Crawl Classics setting as
well, if the judge were willing to do minimal work.
You could just as easily place it on a Venusian swamp in Crawljammer or some out-of-the-way portion of the Purple Planet.

Even if you
didn’t want to run the adventure as written, it can easily be cannibalized for
spare parts. The rules for weather and moving through the bog, the creatures,
and the seven interesting magical items could become part of the judge’s
toolkit with ease.
And, again,
it is free.
This module has some short and sweet Wilderness Travel rules akin to a hexcrawl which I find useful. Some nice tables that you could model after for weather and encounters, too. Easily repurposed!
