This adventure has very charming art and a cute concept. I love the idea of substituting larger monster variants to account for the shrunk PCs!
I found a few aspects of the layout that could be improved to make it more usable to a GM. I think this could easily be condensed into a one or two page dungeon, especially since there are no unique monster stats required and there are only a handful of areas. There are several ways to use the page space better. The page numbers are the largest size text on each page but they don't seem to be used or referenced at all. It is also strange that half a page is devoted to a refuse table without any interesting interactions in the results. Searching through refuse can be fun if there's something interesting/unique to find.
Besides using space more effectively, the utility for a GM at the table could be improved. The room keys on the map are not used anywhere besides on the map itself. Looking for a location description requires a finding the number in the map legend, noting the title, and flipping through the text to find that title. This could be as simple as reading the description directly off the map (for a one-page dungeon), or following the numerical key directly to the description.
Shrunk down adventurer hijinks are the best!
Simple, but effective, dungeon.
Loved the sections on roleplaying the NPCs, super useful.
Putting boxed text at the bottom of the page is a really interesting idea, I think it works well.
Thanks for taking a look. I didn't want to bog down the main gist with optional flavor text, and I'm happy with my choice to tuck it away somewhat.
Congrats on making it into the top 8!!! I loved reviewing this one and I hope you win!
love the concept and flavor
Really cool illustrations and a neat concept!
really well done. Great art, enhances the feeling of the adventure. I would use this!
A mini-mini dungeon haha. This is a cool idea.
I LOVE THE DRAWINGS!
Thank you. I'm not really an artist, but I wanted to get my vision across and tie everything together in a standout way.
A very imaginative concept. Nicely done.
Love the dungeon idea. My crawlspace scares me sometimes, so I relate.
I appreciate your feedback. I guess that makes this dungeon a bit of a dungeon-crawlspace.
Friggin cute idea! sounds fun!
Is Shadowdark your primary game?
Love the art and feel. "Sporcerer" haha
