December 1630. Up in the South Swedish Highlands a small religious community is getting ready for a very special winter solstice celebration. The food is cooked, the ale is poured, and the tree is decorated. Oh, and the human sacrifices are ready to be gutted in the name of Odin.
Happy holidays!
Midvinter is written and drawn by Kelvin Green, who also did Forgive Us, Fish Fuckers, and More than Meets the Eye, and drew Death Love Doom, Slügs, The Squid, the Cabal, and the Old Man, Thulian Echoes, and Barbarians of Orange Boiling Seas.
Midvinter is an adventure for characters of all levels, for use with Lamentations of the Flame Princess: Weird Fantasy Role-Playing and other traditional role-playing games.
I was not a big fan of the illustrations in this one. What I mean, is that they were just a bit too silly for this dark adventure
The adventure itself is not an easy one to run. One has to introduce several npcs and everything culminates in one big morally challenging and gruesome encounter - which the pcs can ruin in many ways.
On the other hand, this is a simple and straightforward adventure to run, because it happens in one small location, so one should be able to run it in one session - if the players do what they are supposed to do.
