Lorn Song of the Bachelor

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Weeds trail the water. The sandbar just off the shore shifts. A reptile rumble, a splash. Now a gaping maw. A roar. Claws splintering wood. The boat capsizes. You are in the river, now.

He is the Bachelor: a pale crocodile, as long as five men lying end to end. He swallows hunters, families, trading skiffs. Prospectors fear to go out. Witches mutter. They say he causes landslips. They say he is a god, a curse -- an old, old sin, staining the river. They say he has been killed, before.

He is pulling you under.

Lorn Song of the Bachelor is a 48-page riverine adventure and dungeon crawl module, inspired by the crocodile stories of Southeast Asia -- particularly Sarawak.

It features:

  • Tragedy, a bloody curse, and a love gone sour
  • Open-ended factional interplay between local villlagers, a foreign merchant Company, and a giant supernatural crocodile -- and its motivating spirits
  • Multiple random tables, including magical fabrics woven by god-possessed craftspersons; trinkets of a now-fallen Monkey Empire; medicinal herbs and animals
  • 19 new creatures including: mind-controlling catfish; golems made of teeth; a pregnant tiger spirit
  • Wilderness travel up an enchanted river
  • An extraplanar dungeon complex that can change the surrounding environment
  • A morally complex treatment of colonialism, within the framework of an adventure module
  • A giant crocodile who really wants to eat you

Hi Christopher (and other folks who have been asking) -- I'll check with Zedeck and let y'all know.

Plans *had* been to get a trad run reprint around the time that Mace of the Monkey King was going to come out, but that wound up changing obviously.

Sorry for the delay in responses!

Are there any plans to offer a PoD version of this? Given that EF isn't reprinting this? This would be an insta-buy for me.

For those who have run this: what level was the party? tenfootpole estimates it at a roughly level 4 adventure but I'm wondering about actual play experiences. I already own it, just trying to figure out where to fit this into a campaign in terms of progression.

Excellent - a solid sense of place, terse, but detailed writing and a wonderful faction structure that makes for a strong role-play and investigative underpinning for an at times surreal location and point crawl (though fairly linear due to the river involved).

There is a trad print run version available from Exalted Funeral (which we cannot link to from here).

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
