Wilderness Dressing: Swamps (P1) by Creighton Broadhurst is a role playing game supplement published by Raging Swan Press for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. As such, it is covered by the Open Game License and some parts are considered to be Open Game Content as a result.
The supplement is available as a 13-page PDF from DriveThruRPG for $3.75 but was purchased at a reduced price as part of a special bundle. Two pages are the front and rear covers, two are ads, one the front matter and Contents and one the Open Game License. The PDF comes in two versions, one intended for print and high-end devices, one intended for low-end and mobile.
There is first a brief paragraph on swamps.
Minor Swamp Events is a d100 table of minor encounters to have in a swamp.
Swamp Dressing is a d100 table of dressing for a swamp.
Uneventful Day’s Travel is a d100 table with 20 results for nothing essentially happening during a swamp journey.
Campsites is another d100 table with 20 results of places to camp in a swamp.
Random Swamp Encounters is a d12 table of creatures to encounter in a swamp.
Wilderness Dressing: Swamps (P1) in Review
The PDF is bookmarked with the various sections linked. The Contents is to a similar level of depth and is hyperlinked. Navigation is good. The text maintains a two-column format and appeared to be free of errors. There is a single full page black and white illustration. Presentation is decent.
This is another in the Remastered range and one of those where the Uneventful Day’s Travel and Campsites tables have replaced the Marsh Features in the original, which had various Pathfinder rules for such terrain, making it one of the better value entries. With the removal of this, it is also much more system neutral; there are a few entries in the first two tables with stats that are now footnotes, and those entries have bolded numbers to make them more obvious. The Random Encounters Table is therefore the main Pathfinder section. As usual, the Random Swamp Encounters table should not be used as a random table, due to the chance of encountering three stirges being the same as that of encountering an ancient black dragon.
