Inside the room are two shelves along the wall – they are absolutely filled with empty jars and pots, lids and stoppers. There is huge open hole in the floor, blackened and sooty – obviously for cooking – and next to it are several half-person sized pots. Scattered through the room are small bundles of firewood and wire racks – along with wire devices that allow jars to be lowered into the pots when steaming. There are also tools to lift these devices out of the pots. There are several dowel rods, large spoons, a large sand hourglass, a large clepsydra, several smaller pots and pans, towels, knives in blocks, large gloves, several funnels, and a ladle. If the room is searched before the players look around it and disturb the dust – the players will figure out that there used to be tables – there are circles without dust – if they follow tracks...

 Name: Cube World #23: Screaming Lake Author: Zak Sabbath What is it: According to Zak, “A very LofFP 17th century one-shot (?) adventure.” The (?) means quite a lot. In the text Zak describes it as “Maybe a one-shot. It’s one of those “investigate for a while in a normal place, then eventually go to a completely weird place with an apocalyptic monster” adventures” It is found on Zak’s Store on his blog, dndwithpornstars, and all these Cube World Modules mentioned later in this review are individually purchasable. *(In the upper right-hand corner, read through, pick what you like, and read how to order.)* Screaming Lake could fit easily into many campaigns, and is very simple and evocative in execution, with the actual conflict very manageable and the directions left fluid based on player actions.

It is found on Zak’s Store on his blog, dndwithpornstars, and all the Cube World Modules are individually purchasable*. *(In the upper right-hand corner, read through, pick what you like, and read how to order.)* When you buy a Cube World Supplement, you get a free copy of the Bestiary and d1000 Treasure table that are current to the latest supplement.

It has ~468 creatures, all fully statted, with lots of additional things – such as a witch generator, Faerie generator, tons of creatures with random qualities for variety, variants of creatures, and of course art and descriptions. For reference, T...
