I love the concept of the Black Sap! Its easily-adaptable mechanics and overall vibe make the point crawl setting quite engaging.

Simple, easy-to-follow, and yet full of flavor. Throwing a forest dragon at level 3-4 players is a great bit of expectation subversion.
Did you give an art credit that I missed? Full marks otherwise.

Corruption at the Verdant ShrineThis is my first time publishing anything like this, and I'm not much for graphic design, so please forgive the inexpert look of this pdf. I know I have zero chance of winning (I mean, has anyone else read Reaping At Beltline or Her Sun Shattered Tears? Wow!) But it doesn't matter as long as even one person uses some part of this humble little adventure.
I want to thank Baron de Ropp for putting on this jam, and the entire Shadowdark community for being awesome. Special thanks to James, Lela, Nick, Kyle, Emily, and Mag for being the best group of crawlers I know!
Don't sell yourself short. I think you've got a shot.
I love Dryad/ Druid/ Princess Mononoke-type encounters that blur the lines between "It's a monster! Kill it!" and "Wait, are we the baddies?". This is a quality example.
I have one request: Update the description page with an art credit so you meet the rules of the Jam? I don't want to see this entry be disqualified.
