Tired of toiling on your Uncle's pig farm, you've decided to leave the drudgery of Port Llast, and hit the road, seeking fame and fortune as an Adventurer... Starting from your humble beginnings, you'll quickly discover that an Adventurer's life isn't always rosy, and that even the best of intentions can have dire consequences. Along the way, you'll encounter a wide range of interesting characters (including a legendary hero), hear many compelling stories, be insulted by drunk goblins, and ultimately be tempted by the allure of Godhood. What choice will you make? (updated to version 1.61b)
Fun adventure. Nifty scripting. Outstanding use of journal. No hak paks needed. Good and Evil endings. Tight layouts. Detailed descriptions. Good storytelling. The module as a whole improves so drastically that by the end of it, I was in hog heaven.
Combat can be tough, walkthrough documentation file unreadable (for me). The beginning was so hackneyed, that I thought I had gotten a pig in a poke.
This module had nice twists of plot and also managed to keep my overlevel character interested - not by the fights, which wasn't my goal either, but by the storyline and even some of the gear rewards. Some minor punctuatory typos here and there, but no show-stoppers.

A really good first effort, thoroughly enjoyed going through this one.

An above average module. Some overly contrived plot ideas here, but still a fun module. Not quite the "Forgotten Realms" genre. _________________________ Old School
An underrated little gem that would deserve a place higher up in the top rated list. Very good story, great opening that really motivates the player and some very funny twists (including one of the funnier hench... uh... beings :) Interesting and well balanced fights and good puzzles. Great ending. _________________________ With magic, you can turn a frog into a prince... With science, you can turn a frog into a Ph.D.... ... and still keep the frog you started with.

Just posted a very minor update, to version 1.61b (see Read Me file for details). Thanks for all your comments and votes! I'm very pleased to see that the Pig Farmer remains a popular module nearly a year after its release. My sequel, "The Turning", is now available on the Vault. The Turning continues the story of the Pig Farmer, though from a new character's perspective. It is a different module, darker and far more sprawling, with a custom tileset, an original song, and much more. Hope you like it! Andy
