OSR Review & Commentary On The Flesh Weavers By William McAusland For The Mutant Epoch Rpg

 "A sandstorm batters the enclosed fort, forcing the characters to lay low. Unable to loot the nearby Great Ruins their money is running out fast, and they're getting thirsty as the last two food and water convoys from the city never made it. "     



"Worse, the storm is tearing gaps in the scrap-built fortress. These openings have not gone unnoticed. Something unspeakable approaches in the biting sandstorm, gathering in numbers and taking advantage of the blinded defenders... an insidious peril that hungers for more than the flesh and fluids of Pitford's citizens. This horror themed module takes place in and around the Quest Path Apartments where the characters rent a humble bunk room. Here, the characters are thrown into the middle of a nightmarish ordeal, where their survival is in question, where their failure could lead to a regionwide catastrophe."

The Flesh Weavers By  William McAusland For The Mutant Epoch Rpg puts the PC's right into the middle of a monster mystery wrapped in a dungeon crawl. This is a solid adventure. The Flesh Weavers is one hundred and four pages of an adventure that centers around the Pitford campaign setting. The Flesh Weavers breaks it down around the writing of William McAusland and the author puts the PC's right in the middle of the action. This adventure links right into   The Mutant Epoch Expansion Rules 

Flesh Weavers centers right around the Pitford Gateway to the Ruins. And it does a great job of foreshadowing the events of The Crossroads Region Gazetteer
That means the factions that are seen in the Flesh Weaver go onto the Gazetteer. The party is going to be doing some adventuring and dungeon crawling within this adventure. 
The writing is tight, the artwork is well done, the layout is solidly done. This means that there's some room for the DM too do a good job of customization for thier ME campaigns. 
Flesh Weavers is a solid mid level adventure for a ME party of adventurers. Don't spring this adventure on a beginning party unless they have experience with other ME adventures. 
The Flesh Weavers is an excellent stepstone adventure for a party using the Pitford campaign setting. And Flesh Weavers tells a story of desparation, evil, and survival. Grab The Flesh Weavers today!
