The Soggy Muffin

The Soggy Muffin

A quest mod by CowGuru (Lunchmeat Larry)

Sequel Muffinwind Rebaked available now

(For Path of the Incarnate players here to ask why Abraham J Bakerson randomly dies when you meet him: we don't know yet but doesn't seem to be my fault. Select him in the console, type "resurrect" and he should feel better going forward. Anyone with any ideas please let us know in the PotI discord because this is affecting other mods to some extent.)

A medium-length quest mod for early-game characters, focused on short, replayable quests with an emphasis on player choice and branching outcomes. In theory this is a mod you might play with multiple characters just as they're getting their footing in this strange land, and they'll be forced make decisions on just what their values might be.

This is (I hope) a funny mod, but that does not mean it is a joke mod - it's a mod with jokes in it. The tone I hope I've achieved is Discworld, not Monty Python. Despite some of the sillier aspects of the premise and content, I want it to be a memorable adventure that you can take seriously, with nuanced characters who have understandable, human desires and motivations.

It could be considered a "coffee shop AU" of my 2006 quest epic Muffinwind, with many of the same characters and some of the same locations, all massively updated to 2025 standards (and, helpfully, no longer made by a 15-year-old). Muffinwind Rebaked (2026) is a sequel to The Soggy Muffin, which was intended as a surprise when this mod came out but the cat is out of the bag now and hopefully that makes things clear.

The Story So Far

The Soggy Muffin is a beautiful cafe, located just south of Pelagiad's walls overlooking the lush scenery of the Ascadian Isles. Travelers and adventurers have long found a welcome moment of rest and sanctuary between its walls.

Times are tough for Vvardenfell, however. The Soggy Muffin has fallen into disrepair, with rumours of a terrible haunting deterring any effort at upkeep. This could be about to change, as word has it that a prestigious baker from the mainland has commissioned its restoration, and intends to make The Soggy Muffin the destination of choice for Pelagiad's citizens and wanderers alike.

Just as the cafe's fortunes seemed to be turning over golden-brown at last, the labourers hired for the renovation have done the unthinkable. They have downed tools to demand better, safer working conditions, and are making their demands heard in what will be remembered as Morrowind's first organised labour strike.

Will you bring this strike to an end, whether standing with the workers against the landowners' greed, or bringing them to heel in the name of peace and prosperity? When desires clash and you find yourself caught in the middle, can you remain true to your values, or even learn what those values might be? Can you untangle the mysteries that keep a spectre haunting Pelagiad, and what will be its final fate? Will you win allies to your side with words and deeds, or strike down all who oppose you? When the mysteries of a past that did not happen and worlds that never existed come bubbling forth, will you embrace Morrowind's strange and storied history, or fix your gaze on some blue star and forge a path to the future?

And when all is said and done, what friends and allies will you gather, that might join you for a cup of tea and a muffin... at The Soggy Muffin?
