Despite its title, it's not about monsters. Instead, it's a history of what Sugg calls 'corpse medicine' - the early modern practise of using bits of dead people in attempts to cure the living. Sugg can be a bit credulous in places, but he does a good job of establishing that human blood, fat, and bone saw fairly widespread use in both European folk remedies and 'academic' medicine during the period, giving rise to a range of often gruesome medical practises that, in some cases, lingered on as late as the nineteenth century.</p><p>Here are the most gameable bits.</p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5R-SO42EJjCOhDQxT7GpudJWIIW79lrMfhIeE-aedilCGQLY-zvoCibvmBxp_RA_tjkyvktX0dC2rdgbgXRZhYziuxPRgWNPKu0AWJyPSHB-8VfRPo_QIMgySe3xHHfiolSvx4MgK5wCTWdXewhX95aRJ2EY_M1eBdiRplIpb_2dva472n_8nEt42PA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="333" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj5R-SO42EJjCOhDQxT7GpudJWIIW79lrMfhIeE-aedilCGQLY-zvoCibvmBxp_RA_tjkyvktX0dC2rdgbgXRZhYziuxPRgWNPKu0AWJyPSHB-8VfRPo_QIMgySe3xHHfiolSvx4MgK5wCTWdXewhX95aRJ2EY_M1eBdiRplIpb_2dva472n_8nEt42PA" width="160" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p><b>Skull Moss: </b>The theory went like this: during life, your brain is constantly sloshing around inside your skull, marinading the bone in brain juice (AKA 'vital spirits'). So after you die, some of the life-giving power of your brain juice should logically still inhere in your skull. You could just grind up a skull and use the resulting powder as medicine, and indeed many people seem to have done exactly that. But the <i>best </i>way to get the power out is to take a human skull and grow moss on it, preferably by moonlight or starlight. The moss sucks the power of the vital spirits out of the skull, and you can then powder and eat the moss as a remedy. </p><p><i>Plot seeds: </i></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>'My loved one is sick! Bring me the powdered skull of something with really powerful brain-juice! Maybe a wizard or a dragon or something.'</li><li>'Actually, what we <i>really </i>need is their whole skull, so we can grow moss on it in the light of the full moon. That won't be a problem, will it?'</li><li>'And we need the brain-juice to be super-fresh, so you'll need to either find one that's just died, or kill one for us yourself. Remember - the skull must be intact! No headshots!'</li><li>If your PCs end up building some kind of freakish garden full of moss growing on the skulls of everything they've ever killed, then so much the better!</li></ul><p></p><p><b>Strangulation boosts skull quality: </b>If someone dies by hanging or strangling, then at the moment of their death their life force will obviously be trapped inside their head, unable to escape down into their lungs. This means they will die with a head full of <i>super-charged brain juice, </i>making their skull (and any skull moss subsequently grown on it) extra-potent for medical purposes. There was consequently a brisk trade in the skulls of the hanged.</p><p></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></p><ul style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"></ul><p></p><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-size: medium; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-decoration-color: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><i>Plot seeds: </i></p><p></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>'We need the skull of a [wizard/dragon/whatever] that died by strangulation.

Egyptian corpse-merchants made up the shortfall first by substituting 'natural' mummies (the dried-out corpses of travellers killed in desert sandstorms) for the ancient kind, and then by just buying up as many bodies as they could, drying them out in giant ovens, and exporting them as 'mummies'. Paracelsian medicine maintained you could make a home-grown version just as good as an ancient one by taking the freshly-killed body of a young man who died by violence, leaving it out overnight, cutting it into strips, and macerating it in wine. So as well as moss-covered skulls, dead men's hands, human-skin gloves, crushed-up mummies, and pastes made from human blood and fat, the workshops of early modern doctors may also have contained <i>shredded corpses in wine. </i>For, y'know, medical reasons.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Plot seeds:</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>'Find me a genuine ancient mummy, with a pyramid and everything!

So for an extra pay-off, why not drag all those corpses back to the local wine-merchant and have them made into medicine? Let's just hope no-one asks any awkward questions about why you're dragging all these hacked-up corpses around...</li><li>With all these mummies being traded back and forth, how long can it be before an undead one gets mixed in with the rest, and wakes up just as it's being unloaded from the ship? Imagine how angry some ancient priest-king will be upon discovering he's narrowly avoided being ground up for medicinal purposes...</li><li>Some early modern doctors also broke into barrow mounds in search of ancient dead people to grind up into medicine. Think of all the furious barrow wights!</li></ul></div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>The Black Doctors: </b>Suspicion of the medical profession seems to have run deep in rural Scotland. There parents would warn their children of 'the Black Doctors', medical murderers who lurked around looking for potential victims. When they spotted a likely target they'd sneak up behind them and slap a black adhesive patch over their nose and mouth, suffocating them and preventing them from calling out, then drag them off to make healing broth from their bodies and bones. (Very similar stories circulated in early Victorian London, where medical murder-gangs were rumoured to garrote pedestrians and throw their bodies down through hidden hatches into ever-boiling cauldrons in the tunnels below.)</div><div><br /></div><div><i>Plot seeds: </i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Hunt down the medical murder-crew preying on the local population!

The force of Browne's 1643 'Religio Medici' ('religion of a doctor') comes from the fact that doctors were traditionally thought to *have* no religion. And the avidity with which doctors sought out corpses to cut up - first for corpse medicine, later for anatomical study - put them at odds with popular religious cultures which taught that the dead should be left in peace, and if possible kept intact for their resurrection on the day of judgement. Clashes between corpse-hungry doctors and furious clergy determined to protect the sanctity of their churchyards could make for good adventure fodder!</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-1956681088"><a target="_self" href="https://www.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=392427526916288536&postID=817645726668997618">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c817645726668997618-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread hidden"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c817645726668997618-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div></div><div id="c817645726668997618-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="817645726668997618">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c817645726668997618-ce"></div></li></div><div id="c3844122199087785873-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="3844122199087785873">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c3844122199087785873-ce"></div></li><li class="comment" id="c2266569526929813997"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user"><a href="https://www.blogger.com/profile/07308961452731842972" rel="nofollow">Charles</a></cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://udan-adan.blogspot.com/2022/06/early-modern-corpse-medicine.html?showComment=1655834181737#c2266569526929813997">21 June 2022 at 10:56</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">[quote] In a region plagued by witches, different families might compete fiercely for bits of each person executed (and agitate constantly for more executions), seeing such corpse-talismans as their best hope for protecting their families from dark sorcery.

The book explores the fascinating and often gruesome world of early modern corpse medicine, revealing how human blood, fat, and bones were once used in attempts to cure the living. Sugg's detailed accounts of practices like skull moss and wound salves are both eerie and intriguing, providing a vivid glimpse into a time when medicine and superstition were deeply intertwined.
