The layout blows us away. Everything is presented so well and concise which leaves more room for the illustrations. The page does not feel overcrowded and lends itself to be picked up, read, and run!
Now it's my turn to say that YOUR layout is great! I love the way it flows, and how the maps and descriptions are combined. Also, in general I just love settings where the gods are closer, more personal, and can be interacted with by PCs, and this nails that mystical vibe. Plus the godly realms being in a cave yet somehow outdoors is perfect. Beautiful adventure!
Edit: almost forgot to mention, because it was at the very start: pronunciation guides are my favorite, thank you so much for including these!
I appreciated the pronunciation guide and clickable Table of Contents. I like the replay-ability with a random set-up for the adventure.
It's all very cleanly laid out and easy to use. Nice job distilling the adventure to just the most important information. I love the dialogue bubbles, that was a great idea to give characters personality without wasting space. You did a great job presenting a culture and making the world feel alive through images as well as text.
It would be awesome to see players in combat with devourer demons.
The FAQ at the end was helpful too.
Its really nice to read an adventure based upon Korean history. Clever way to set up the premise using the two random tables.
I think this setting is excellent. Congratulations!
- Good idea to use the Patron mechanics.
- I find very original to place the story in a korean setting.
- Good drawings and I think is a great idea to use comic-like dialog to make the NPC talk!
- The maps use the entire page, wich not only looks cool, but also allows you to write the descriptions into the actual locations. 100% usability.
- First time I see a FAQ section in a TTRPG adventue, very clever and useful!
Very cool. Those beefy tteok rabbits are not to be messed with! I really like the "items of potential" concept of could-be relics. Great Patron stuff here and very characterful comic art.
I rolled the names Daegal and Hoonai on the Knave tables for NPCs in The Knacker's Yard, so wove in a wee bit of fantasy Joseon flavour, with a magic weapon inspired by the Seven-Branched Sword (칠지도) which I saw at a museum in Korea many years ago.
Very creative both in presentation and how it utilizes South Korean mythology!
Thank you :)
Love the vibe of Lesser Gods. Its evocative of great historical fiction and mythology in a way that you typically only see with games of western culture/euro fantasy.
PS- I had a roomate in college whose family was from South Korea. He told me that his grandmother used to scare him with stories of the Dokkaebi when he was little. Seeing it here made me feel like a yungin again.
I am also introduced to some new myths from Korean that are so inspiring. Glad we reminded you to some of that haha.
Wow. This layout and adventure is awesome. I love the choose your own adventure style. The setting is amazing.
The comics are great.
Thanks, we were trying to make it so that if you perhaps run the module multiple times it could be a different setup.
Looks fun! I like how you wrote the rooms right on the map. Lots of really great ideas here.
Thank you, we figured jams are for doing some experiments and this was one we tried out to see if everything can be on one page but still have visual elements.
