We loved that this was an ode to classic fantasy like many others here! It warms us to read like a hot cup of tea and speaks to the classic tales of both adventures past and folktales past. Incredibly easy to use and read! READ THIS!!
Clear layout. Easy to use. I love frogs as monsters.
I love a good horror romp and this can definjtely be ran as ome! I really came to like this town and reading the tables alone gives me goosebumps.
I do not see odds being on the players side if they're low level and that's exactly how I like it !
The idea of an enchanted magnifying glass that changes the size of anything that passes in front of it is brilliant. There's a lot of variety and I like that there's a lot of interesting threads for players to tug at, if they choose to go looking for them.
The drawing of the frog on page 4 is very well done.
I actually just watched the film of the same name for the first time about a week ago!
Thank you so much! I regret not finding more time to draw stuff for this jam.
It felt like a mad dash to the finish line for me too!
Fantastic adventure! I really like the NPCs, with good short descriptions and actionable information that hints the personality and motivation. BTW, we both have myconids in our submissions, even some get lost! :-D
Aah, a fellow myconid enthusiast. Man of culture, I see.
Weylon the King of Crocodiles is a great swampy character encounter. Would have liked to see some more treasure, perhaps, but I suppose swamps aren't famously loaded with wealth!
That's useful feedback! After the jam is over, I'll have to add some - and perhaps rules for Weylon as a patron.
Great idea. Let us quest in the name of our ruby-toothed King!
Your NPCs are fire! Buckingham Cragglethatch is a brilliant name. I second Suavek's comment about the Mythic Bastionland vibe. This would be fun for Knave but I'm going to keep it tucked away to use with Mythic when I finally get a chance to run it. Excellent work!
Thank you so much! In retrospect, I put more thought and effort into the NPCs than anything else. I'm not sure if that helps it or hurts it as a sandbox, but it is what it is.
Any game text that implies Rowdy Roddy Piper exists in its world somewhere will always be a home run for me.
Loved the wide variety of NPCs!
Really evocative work, as soon as I saw an odd knight it immediately gave me the vibe of Mythic Bastionland. Including quotes from the NPCs is a great touch, it really helps with showing who these people are. Maps and drawings are also really neat. I only wish font was a little different (but that's very minor), and I wish there was some indication as to the scale of distance between POI. However, the map included is really neat, looks like something PCs might find in game
I *cannot wait* for Mythic Bastionland to come out.
Great maps, and awesome vibe, love the swamp feel.
