What a great idea! It is so haunting but also such an incredibly straight forward idea to play and read! READ THIS!
Fabulous choice of colors and font. The cover image is beautiful and unsettling, I love it.
The Adventure Overview section really sold me on the idea, I thought it was very well done. I thought the Hooks were all interesting but could be a bit more fleshed out. I liked the Dryads description and adding a stat block would be helpful to save GMs having a few steps.
The Strange Happenings table is great and so is the building sense of dread from Day 1 thru 3 (as noted in other comments the last part is missing). A few extra locations or possibly a dungeon to delve would be nice additions.
Very nice ominous adventure. The strange happenings table and growing horror really builds up the creepyness as the PCs explore more. Well done!
Midsommar the TTRPG :-D
Poor are the guests at this banquet, they will be the sacrificial victims.
An good adventure in a village lost in the woods, easy to plug into a campaign. Good stuff!

Reminds me of the first time I read Curse of Strahd. Verdisa gets that horror is best when it isn't seen but felt. The oppressive atmosphere really works well in an OSR context that puts the real world player's feelings and perceptions of the game world first. Interesting!
Thanks much! I wasn’t sure I’d gotten the balance right between too much and too little description, very glad the atmosphere came through
Horror adventure that reminds me of Midsommar! Day 3 seems to be missing the rest of the description.
One of my primary inspirations! And yep, looks like it didn’t save right before I uploaded it. Alas
Love the cover!
Done by the talented Shawn Henry!

Love the rest of it too, obviously—haha!
