Dreadmire, published in 2005
The author used this phrase to describe the book:
"Think of Dreadmire as the Atchafalaya Swamp meets Lord of the Rings, with Cajun halflings, undead mosquitoes, weregators, giant cockroaches, fungus demons, man-eating plants, slime dragons, cannibal elves, sunken ruins, mud dwarves, dark water, and evil trees thrown into the mix."
Dreadmire is a guidebook to a large swamp setting. The book includes chapters with background material for the swamp, detailed encounter tables, new spells, character classes and magic items. The book has several adventures to get chracters started in an extensive swamp setting, enough to form the basis of a long campaign, and also presents advice for runnning adventures in a swamp or marsh environment.
Dreadmire was distributed in the U.S. through Alliance Games and in Europe via Esdevium Games Ltd., but is now out of print. Copies are sometimes available on eBay and Amazon.com.
