Beautiful work!! This is almost nostalgic with how it reflects adventure design artistically. We love the craft you have put in your pages as well as a wonderful adventure to boot! Read this adventure!!
Great layout and easy to pick up. Well done.
This gives me Jack Vance vibes and I am here for it! Also, can I just say I love that you wrote down what was in the gelatinous cube? Fantastic art and great layout. Enjoyed reading this a lot and definitely hope to give it a run some day soon!
Has all the markings of replayability and memorable moments for a group. Floating Mirror is my favorite! Cheers on the art!
This looks like a really fun way to base an adventure around mutation effects. Nice!
Goo checks! Mutations! Slimy goblins! This reminds me of Bittermold Keep from Shadowdark's Cursed Scroll Zine 1.
I had the joy of playing this adventure today with three friends, two of whom never played a tabletop rpg before. We all had a blast! Bodies were morphed, the floating mirror split the party, goblins and melting men got deeply involved, and the orb was shattered.
I had some trouble finding the right room descriptions as the room numbers jumped around, and an adventure hook would have been helpful, but all in all a very enjoyable experience! My players found themselves really submerged 😜.
So much goo! This is such a fun idea, it perfectly straddles the line between horror and that Dr. Seuss book about oobleck. I like the time pressure the goo creates, you'll want to keep moving to avoid the worst effects. This would be a memorable one, definitely something I'm going to put in my campaign. And killer art throughout as well!
The floating mirror and the talking chest are amazing! Great situations for memorable play. Good foreshadowing of traps. This would be a fun romp for my group.
