"When people go down the path of total depravity, they become reprobates who no longer have any ability to discern between right and wrong. They are so depraved they no longer stop to consider if anything is right or wrong because they are so deluded."
That's either a quote from the adventure's text about some cultists, or it's the author explaining his writing output. I don't know.
So this is a short-form adventure for Lamentations of the Flame Princess (and technically for other traditional fantasy role-playing games but good luck running this at a table ready for some normie dungeon fantasy), about a creature called the Mindfucker that's hiding out in 1666 plague-suffering London and gathering influence. The adventure throws plague doctors, conspiracy theorists, and yes, jizz rats at the players and invites them to ask that one question that all great adventures inspire: "Wait, what?" This subject matter is of course handled with as much tact and class as you would expect from the guy that wrote Asterion.
It is my sincere hope that a copy of this gets unearthed by scholars in 500 years and academics debate what this thing was for and what it says about our culture today. It'll be even more super if they think it represents a strain of real-life 21st thinking about 17th century London. Or maybe this is the author's real thoughts on the matter. I can't tell anymore.
