I like the general layout, but I don't see myself using this at my table.  Also, isn't the jam limited to 8-pages submissions?

Developer(+1)

Thanks, it is A5 format, so it is 6 pages if you consider a both side print. 

Developer(+1)

If you print in a booklet mode, it will get 6 A4 pages. and it is a low prep highly improv adventure, not for everyone, I guess. :)

I didn't know both-sides printings were eligible!

it looks awesome, really sweet design and layout. My honest critique: I don’t see a lot of Shadowdark ruleset incorporated. Like, hardly any. So it would be tough for me to use this without a lot of prep of my own.

Developer

I take the critique, but the monsters are designed for it. There is the total darkness mechanic, treasure is realted to the core book? I don't know, I already rubbed it with the system and it was 0 prep for me. Anyway, thanks for reading. 

The layout and design of the pages are amazing!

This is the BEST layout of any submission in this Jam. 


I'm normally extremely ink-conscious when it comes to printing but I had to have this in my hands physically. 

Well done sir! 👏👏👏

Looks really nice on the screen, but I like to print things out for game day. Those solid black pages make it impossible to print.

Developer

Done! there is a print friendly version now!!!

Awesome, this looks great! Thanks for taking the time!

On page 11, activating Scroll of Speak to the dead, you mention rolling an 'Arcana check'.  Was this supposed to be 'Intelligence check'?

Developer(+2)
