Visit the Wild Decaying Island of Bermoothes is a system-agnostic old-school adventure sandbox suitable for gonzo or weird fantasy campaigns. The adventure is set among the haunted jungles and vaporwave ruins of the dark tropical island of Bermoothes. It includes encrypted animals, rave ecologies, the wandering undead, and a mini-dungeon set in the corpse of a dead mall.
Visit the Wild Decaying Island of Bermoothes is now available in print exclusively from Exalted Funeral!
BOTTLED SEA / MOTH HOVEL MANIFESTO
The adventure was nominally designed for use with Games Omnivorous’ Bottled Sea, but it can also be used as a setting on its own.
Visit the Wild Decaying Island of Bermoothes is an independent production by Moth Hovel Games and is not affiliated with Games Omnivorous. It is published under the Games Omnivorous Third-Party License. It was originally designed for the Undying Sands & Bottled Sea Jam hosted by Games Omnivorous in May 2023.
It complies with the Moth Hovel Manifesto (v1):
- Only z-fold layouts (back and front) are allowed.
- Imply more than you explain.
- Include at least two undead factions.
- Make animals figure prominently.
- Embrace camp and intertextuality (i.e., shameless pastiche).
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
The adventure includes a print-and-play U.S. letter/A4 z-fold layout for the GM, including exotic locations, suggested encounters and events, a rumor table, and a list of inspirational material. Also included is a high-definition image of the Bermoothes hex, which can be printed, glued to a suitable piece of cardboard, and added to the starter set of punch-out hexes included with Bottled Sea.
