As you can see, this one takes place in Loveland, Ohio. There area in the Great Cincinnati area is just an hour and a half from where I live. I've driven on the highway by it, but can't say I've ever been there.
The free form adventure is designed to be played in one session. It includes a timeline related to the titular creature. Players take the role of a small tv crew who head to Loveland to make a film about the cryptid. There's a nice film crew type and motivation chart, to help set the tone. There's a cool places to see chart that gives you scenic locals for the crew to visit. I've been to one of the locations, King's Island, several times in my life and even camped on their grounds for a three day concert their back when I was in college. There are also tables to flesh out witnesses sightings, weather, and other things the crew might encounter.
While combat might not happen (the Frogmen aren't known to be hostile), there are stats in three different systems for the creatures. After these stats all of the charts are collected in an appendix.
This isn't your typical adventure. There isn't a straight forward plot. There is a set up, locales, and charts to help figure out where the players go and what they see. As a GM, you going to need to to flesh this one out. This might make it a little harder for new GM's, but for most of us, it should be a breeze.
