UPDATED REVIEW: Don't pass over this one-shot because the title sounds like a campy spoof or parody! While it can be--if that's how your group likes to play--then by all means, go for it. This is a well-written, modern-day one-shot.

I have ran this so many times the last few months for both new and experienced players. It's a sandbox scenario of sheep and chaos. Players can go about and investigate, chatting with NPCs and gathering clues. I cannot recommend Alpaca in the Sheep Field enough. And for this price, you cannot go wrong!

Great setup, location and underlying story with a few interesting characters. It's also good and simple for just a couple of hours play. i imagine it's also easily adaptable to any time and rural location. On the downside its fairly on-rails with the story more about a short and straightforward investigation without too much deviation. It's compounded by the horror being unstoppable by the players - it's definitely going to come after you and the only chance is to run until the deus ex machina intervention at the end. There's also the plot flaw of the lack of police. Six hours ago, just twenty minutes off the Scottish mainland, a grisley murder is discovered and there's not a cop in sight for the whole scenario. i know that the Scottish police force are underfunded but you'd think they might send someone. Furthermore all the locals in this tight community are going about their daily business - no one seems very stressed about it all - well the Scots are a stoic and phlegmatic bunch i suppose. It's easily fixed - just set it in 1920s, park the island a further fifty miles out to sea and have the murder happen a year ago. But i wonder why it's like that and there are no police characters mentioned. It's a great atmosphere and premise but it won't work for my players without some serious changes.

Fantastically fun scenario! I got to play with the author, which was an utter delight. If you're looking for a mythos-tinged hilarious romp for one night of play, you can't do better than this. And who doesn't love alpacas?

Love this scenario - so simple and yet with the option to be so complicated if the party go the wrong way.

The ease of how this unfolds belies the well plotted simplicity of this story. An isolated place with few people may seem like an open and shut case but with Call of Cthulhu when is that ever the case? Set on a remote island the key to this scenario is its seemingly small nature, but the eventual outcome belies something much deeper and as a one shot or as an interlude this works perfectly.

The simplicity of how this can be converted from the modern era to other settings is also genius. It works as well in Victorian Gaslight as it does in classic or Modern times.

Well recommended as currently this is my favourite scenario.

A wonderfully well thought out scenario with a great twist at the end. Alpaca is short enough for a single evening session. Would highly recommend!A wonderfully well thought out scenario with a great twist at the end

I had the unique pleasure of playing this scenario with the writer acting as Keeper. This is an immensely fun little scenario with a great setting and fantastic twist towards the end, which will keep your players on their toes. Stop messing about and just buy it.

Reviewing as a Keeper who has not yet run this (but absolutely will)

Alpaca is a unique little adventure, set in a very well realised little Scottish island with a very nicely written set of NPCs, and a very creative monster. The plot is flexible but is always moving forward, and will allow progression without any need for railroading

The formatting and grammar are off in a few places, but this isn't an obstacle to enjoying what is on offer here. This is a perfect one shot containing investigation, RP and a chase scene.

Ran this last night with 3 of my regulars. They had a fantastic time with this and they loved the ending. They also loved the alpaca (which I named "Tiny" for the group). They're not convinced that it's not a tall sheep.
