Review & Commentary On 'The Colony of Death' By Mark Hess For The Lamentations of the Flame Princess rpg & Other OSR Retroclone Rpg Systems

This book contains 4 adventures set in the English Colony of Maryland in 1650. It also provides setting information, a hex map, random encounter tables, and a bestiary of creatures from Maryland folklore."

"The Colony of Maryland was founded on the idea that Catholics and Protestants could live together in peace, to build a new life in a New World."




























" But things dark and sinister lurk in these ancient woods. Things the natives leave undisturbed. Things alien and evil. And being exposed unknowingly by eager, greedy settlers."

" All are damned in the Colony of Death."

 The Colony of Death By Mark Hess For the Lamentations of the Flame Princess rpg  is a complete OSR module unto itself; " This book contains 4 adventures set in the English Colony of Maryland in 1650. It also provides setting information, a hex map, random encounter tables, and a bestiary of creatures from Maryland folklore." Clocking in at sixty two pages of Maryland historical mythical background there's been a ton of research that Mark Hess has put into  'The Colony of Death'. There's over fifty seven pages of beginning campaign history, background, details on the Maryland colony, and more. This adventure campaign has a very deep background with the wilderness of Maryland  very dangerous in everyway from the NPC's, the animals, disease, and more. 
There are four adventures that a intimately tied with the Weird Colonial America of 1650's Maryland  that is featured in 
'The Colony of Death' By Mark Hess. I don't wanna go into deep detail to spoilt the adventures.  Needless to say there's quite a bit here within 'The Colony of Death' By Mark Hess to allow a DM to establish a Lamentations of the Flame Princess campaign within a Colonial America. Hess sets the tone & the history of his supplement allowing 'The Colony of Death' to play out well within a Lamentations rpg venue. 
1650s Maryland is a perfect adventure point & is a fine addition to any Lamentation's DM's tool box. There's more then enough contained within 'The Colony of Death' By Mark Hess For The Lamentations of the Flame Princess rpg to keep a campaign going for many years.
