Wanderhome Module: The Sin-Eater

New North Little Frampington sits atop a grassy plateau, ideal for herding and root vegetables. Just downhill to the south lies Old North Little Frampington, under the mud of a marsh valley, too sodden to farm anymore. There are no great tragedies here, just a river that meandered and a few extra rainy seasons and a place that no longer suited the needs of its community. Nevertheless, no children are allowed to play there, as people can get lost very easily in the featureless sea of reeds and boggy tracts, the lakes that appear and disappear with the seasons, and the strange lights of the marsh gasses at night.

This is a module for Wanderhome, complete with instructions, locations, and kith , that you can drop into any Wanderhome journey for a melancholy and mysterious interlude that raises more questions than it answers. 

Meet the North Little Frampington Municipal Sin-Eater, the mayor of the village that abandoned it when they moved, and the loathsome and horrible Sinful Carp who lurks in the waterlogged ruins of the old village. Ask and answer questions metaphysical, philosophical, and ridiculous. Try to catch the worst fish in existence. Make up your own mind what happened here.

This module is the first complete and specific work of its kind that I know of built specifically for Wanderhome. It is by its nature experimental. I would greatly appreciate a comment from anyone who tries it out.

Update: Do you want to make a module like this? I have now created a docs template that you can use for personal or commercial use as long as you credit me and Possum Creek Games, per their 3rd party license. Andrew Aulenback and Eric Drew have created the first module using this template, Falling Back.
