Adventure overview
Balanced for a party of 5th-level heroes, the adventure sends characters into the Cursed Abattoir—a gory temple complex overrun by the cannibalistic porcine orcs known as the Gammon Boys. The module introduces the playable Scroffan pigfolk lineage for MythCraft and features retro black-and-white art by John Bilodeau alongside dedicated battle maps.
The Cursed Abattoir and The Gammon Boys
Designed for 5th-level characters, Black Bristle takes players through meat lockers and entrail-strewn feasting halls controlled by cannibalistic pig-faced orcs. The adventure combines deadly tactical combats, grim environmental hazards, and classic dungeon exploration in an OSR-inspired style.
New Scroffan Lineage and Hand-Drawn Assets
The module includes full character creation rules for the Scroffan—a new pigfolk player lineage complete with unique traits, culture, and history. The book is illustrated by John Bilodeau and contains custom gridded black-and-white battle maps for tactical table play.
