It's nice work, but a little wordy for my taste. Maybe the other Shadowdark stuff I've been reading has twisted my expectations, but it's all been real short, evocative stuff not too concerned with finer points of setting or detailed plot beats. This is the opposite.

Definitely a solid setting as a base for a campaign. Enough NPCs to make you feel like you know the place, and great challenges. A little wordy for me, but the creativity is really solid!

Things I love: 

  • There is a lot of content and world building here.
  • The inkerate map looks good.

Things I don't love so much: 

  • there is no printer-friendly version for us ink-conscious folks? ðŸ˜…
  • I'd like to see the page margins narrower so the font can be made larger? 
  • Looks too similar to a 5e adventure in layout and doesn't make use of the "Designed for Shadowdark RPG" image I've come to expect on the title page.  The design/layout could use some work to be more inline with Shadowdark's vibes. 
  • Metric system. I love it for science but it doesn't feel medieval fantasy to me. "My horse is 8 heads high and my arm 3 feet."  metric feels too scientific and clean for peasant folk.


Looks good otherwise. Solid 4 out of 5 imo.

Thank you so much!

I used Homebrewery for creating the PDF. It outputs that 5e-sorta vibe. This was my first time using it - I have zero illustration/design/digital art skills so it was amazing for getting some work done.

Completely agree on the aesthetic not being in line with Shadowdark - I’ll see how I can improve in the future!

oh ok! I thought you were being folksy saying "homebrewery" I didn't know that was some sort of template or program that does the layout and design.  I understand now. Thank you.
