Aqua Regia

Aqua Regia is a module for His Majesty the Worm, by Joshua McCrowell, produced as part of the Worm Jam in September 2024. Apart from the bestiary, which is specific to the system of HMtW, this module is also compatible with the majority of OSR games.

In search of an alchemist who has been missing for years, the characters find themselves caught in a time trap, where two factions are waging an eternal battle: who will win between the Green Lion cultists, who want to kill the Sun, or the Solar Angels, who are determined to wipe out this pathetic sect?

Content of the 16-pages module :

• 25 rooms distributed over 2 mini-dungeons to explore and their associated Meatgrinder table
  
• 6 Dungeon Denizens
  
• 2 Alchemical Products
  
• GM and Players' Maps

Disclaimer: This module has a rail road aspect that some tables may not like. Talk to your players to find out if this might bother them. In particular, the fact that there is a “right way” to solve the puzzle posed by the time trap could be experienced as a frustration. However, I think that this module, if you see it as two mini-dungeons followed by a challenging final battle, can be a lot of fun to play if your table is prepared to accept the premise and put its routines aside, at least for a few moments.

The first few pages of the module, detailing its structure and how to solve the puzzle posed by the time trap, are shown in screenshots, so that you can easily determine whether the content might appeal to your table.
