Rancid Canyons of the Floating Death Sheep – Swords and Wizardry

Written for three seperate fantasy RPGs, this version of Rancid Canyons of the Floating Death Sheep is for Swords & Wizardry. It is compatible with most OSR style games with minimal conversion. 

Yarrowbone is known for its delicious cured and smoked meats. Folk travel for hundreds of miles to sample the delightful tastes and textures of the villager’s meaty products. There’s a problem though. Something is ravaging the livestock populations out in the badlands leaving dismembered and disembowelled sheep out rotting in the midday sun. Yarrowbone’s leader, Hester Cerese, is worried and the farmers and shepherds are grazing their flocks elsewhere to keep the dwindling meat supply safe.

Unfortunately, as the herd animals have not been reared and fed on the vegetation found in the badlands, the taste of their meat isn’t the same, and consequently, the locals are getting restless as sales have declined. Several groups, including an angry mob of locals have gone out to try and hunt whatever is devastating their livestock, but they too have generally ended up as carcasses for the vultures.

Only one person has lived to tell the tale and he refuses to go out there again. Most of the bodies of the killed villagers have been recovered, but two are still missing. The inhabitants of Yarrowbone are getting desperate and need some hunters and/or heroes to find the missing settlers and save their precipitous meat industry from whatever is destroying it.
