The Gorgon Pit
A downloadable adventure for Cy_Borg
Something slithers in the forgotten sewers beneath the city. A strange creature that turns people to stone. A corporation that would control it. Cultists that worship it like a god. A gang hell-bent on revenge. All will drown in the filth of…
The Gorgon Pit
What is it?
An adventure for Cy_Borg loosely inspired by ancient greek myth. The players explore the sewers beneath Cy to hunt for a rogue alien. Features eight main encounters, 24 random encounters, and three different factions hunting for the Gorgon. Depending on your group and playstyle, the adventure will take 2 to 3 sessions to complete.
Content warning
Some content in this adventure could be considered violent, cruel, or gross. It takes place in a sewer, so there's a non-trivial amount of poop and pee.
What do I want from you?
Please share this adventure. This is my first ever published module for an RPG and I really have no following on social media or elsewhere to broadcast to. If you enjoy it, please share it publicly.
I'd love feedback on balance. My group plays pretty casually and I am a rule-of-cool DM, so there's a chance some pieces aren't balanced right.
Finally, if you play the adventure and have a good time, please donate a few dollars to help pay for my Illustrator subscription. This isn't about money for me, but I'd love to recoup the cost of my tools.

How to print as a booklet
You can print the adventure as a booklet if you'd prefer to play with a paper copy. The adventure is in black and white and uses minimal ink so it can be printed on your home printer or at a print center cheaply. Your home printer might not support double sided printing, so maybe find a Staples or FedEx or something like that.
