I ran a chunk of this adventure with a group of friends (although we used my homemade game system, Be You Bold) and had a great time. I expanded a few details for the village, incorporating the parts presented, and we had a great time. They encountered the Bole Ox on the road and then explored the mill. The Birch Moths and Dull Axe added a lot. Anyway, the charts to roll on worked well, created some great feeling of the supernatural, and we had a great time. Thanks.

I am so Glad it worked well for your table. If you have a minute, I am curious about what you added to the village. That was the bit that hit the cutting room floor the most when I was writing! 

I also am curious about Be You Bold!

Sure. I added an Inn called the Broken Shield so the party would have someplace to easily stay, aside from trying to camp or knock on someone's door. I decided the village was a place that had prospered in the past but was now on hard times, this fit with the theme of the Mill for me, so there were some vacated homes and some overgrown farm land, stuff like that. I love the image of orchards that have not been tended to, tall grass and lots of fruit on the ground, unpruned, that kind of thing. I definitely used the villagers you provided in the adventure as part of all that. 

As for Be You Bold, yes, please check it out! I set out to make a set of rules that only required one D6 to play and could be quick to learn, and it is what I came up with. I've been playtesting with friends, but it is still a bit of an evolving project. Some of them have started playing without me, so that feels like a cool accomplishment. link here.

That sounds like a great addition to the vibe! I like the orchard imagery. I picked up the game just now and will take a look!
