Layout and premise are well thought-out and wonderfully evocative. I especially loved the mechanics for the Factions - particularly impressive given how concisely you were able to lay them out.
This was fun to read! Your layout and map designs really capture the heist vibe. I especially liked the laboratory complete with ingredients AND recipes! As a player I'd get into lots of trouble in that room! Well made!
Clean layout, tight writing, lots to chew on. Wet hot knavery like it says on the can! The stated inspirations of Lankhmar x "all of Florida" makes me kind of yearn for a "Florida Man" Fafhrd pastiche. You should write a short story :)
Thanks so much! I've actually started writing little sword and sorcery adventure stories as presents for friends and relatives, ha ha. (My ninja-obsessed nieces get assassin stories for their birthdays.)
Absolutely beautiful read, marvellous design that I can only describe as geometric mork borg that kept me reading page after page. Brilliant mechanical design and I absolutely adore the faction timelines that I will now be furiously stealing to simulate everything in my home game. Marvellous, characterful and easy to read. Hemmingway would be proud!
Thanks so much! I'd be super curious to hear how it goes if you run it!
The faction conflict rules are quite a good thing! Definitely going to run this and use them in other games!
Thanks! I was quite proud of them!
Awesome! The writing is a ton of fun, and the layout is bright and enjoyable.
Weird and interesting story that I found engaging.
Solid use of contrast for a simple yet effective layout.
Great job!
This is a good one. The idea of the alchemically sedated psychic insect is delightfully weird and opens up the door for all manner of shenanigans. I also love the inspiration list.
