The Devil's Millhopper
A downloadable adventure setting
The Devil's Millhopper is a TTRPG setting and adventure with a town, a forest pointcrawl, a dungeon, and factions. It also features opportunities for foreground growth (objects, decisions, rituals, and monsters that can alter an adventurer, potentially forever).
The Devil's Millhopper is a sinkhole full of bones, treasures, and monsters. The mysterious Poison Devil has escaped from it and begun hunting the residents of La Chua and the Mining Company that has recently started a mining operation. Contend with the moss-eaters, the denizens of the tree-tops; shape-shifting cougars; talking raccoons; alligators; monsters made of moss; edible moss with magical effects; dryads; and the goons hired by the Mining Company.
This adventure was built for Cairn but may be adapted to other systems.
- Multiple factions with competing interests, secrets, and schemes
- A colorful cast of characters and creatures (like talking raccoons and little birds that pop in and out of space-time and gators that can deathroll your arms off!)
- Like 30 pages or so, US letter format (8.5 x 11 inches)
- Loops and multiple entrances to the dungeon
- A pointcrawl style forest with 14 locations to explore
- Town with randomizable townsfolk with secrets and rumors
- Useful plants, including moss with random effects
- Random tables for rumors, townsfolk (with secrets), miners, raccoon names, items brought through space-time, and junk found in the sinkhole
- Items, rituals, monsters, and decisions that can alter adventurers forever

Hey, you know comments are broken on your blog? I'm on a chromium-based browser and tried multiple times to comment but it just loads for a while, then the whole comments section vanishes.
Thanks for letting me know! It seems like cusdis isn't sending me emails anymore to approve comments. Super weird. And apparently the BSD generator isn't working for some people as well. I'll have to take a look at this, appreciate it!
Well I commented to welcome you back on your recent post but also to show you something you might find interesting. I took some inspiration from your BSD mermaid generator to make my own web-app. Check it out: https://open.substack.com/pub/gramaryegames/p/introducing-the-dungeon-layout-generator?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3ax2b3
I gotta say, it was a fun/weird/cool experience to check the new + popular physical games and immediately find something that was based on Devil's Millhopper... which happens to be VERY close to my house!!! nice concept, and hello fellow Florida person!
Neat! Yeah I miss the parks around there, thanks for checking out the game!
