Densely packed 0-level gauntlet with a great narrative (who doesn't love slimes?)
Color coding and highlighting within the text is super helpful (also, I'm gonna say it, I like the fonts).
Lots of puzzles and traps to interact with.
Pretty comprehensive bestiary (including Mutant Baby!).
Worth checking out for sure!
Thank you - I agree, every Dungeon needs a mutant baby! I also like the fonts - especially in print - I think it works well A5 and as a booklet.
Really good module!
Format is A5. 2x pages is one A4. Designed to be printed as a booklet - so 4x pages on a single sheet. I have provided the maps as additional downloads if folks want high quality prints or want to use them in virtual tabletops.
Wow! That's some next-level thinking. I was unware. Jolly good.
This is great! I didn't love the font and tight spacing but you did a great job.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. It’s one of those weird things that happens with A5 format, printed feels totally different to onscreen PDF. Try the version with the dyslexic fonts - super readable and a little more spaced out.
Great game, brilliant work that you’ve done on the story, maps, and the tables.
Any chance you could put a better font for reading in there. If you google “easy to read fonts” or “fonts for dyslexia” you’ll pick up on what I mean. Anything sans serif. The Shadowdark RPG book does this well.
Apart from this cosmetic suggestion, you’ve done really well, and I can see the thought and effort that you’ve put in. I particularly like the Cursed Items table.
Thank you so much for your great feedback!
I know exactly what you mean. I have Open-dyslexic and Atkinson Hyperlegible on my computer as default because I need them too - I’m second in a line of 3 generations of dyslexics. I will ensure all future games of mine have a readable version. Let me know how this goes - I’ve used Atkinson for body text because it’s a little more compact and Open-dyslexic for headings.
