  • Such a nicely balanced quest - the introduction of a way to block the route back, making the heroes explore for that all important exit is nicely detailed too. The re-encounter of Gobina is nicely done. Great quest!
  • I like the mechanic of blocking the Heroes retreat back to the stairway tile. I also like that you give the Heroes the potential to find a ring of return and the exit doorway ('I') behind the stone Gargoyle. Overall a solid adventure.

I enjoyed this quest and made a video of it, but it appears that the graphics representing the traps are not from hquestbuilder (they are very pixelated, whereas the traps from hquestbuilder are high resolution icons).  Because of this tiny detail, this quest looks like it must be disqualified.

Good Day Ash.

Firstly, I am not going to challenge your decision, as it is your to make.  I also noted that and I generated the PDF a few times but each time it was slightly pixelated.  I am happy that you took the time to play it and I look forward to seeing your impressions of it.

I can send you the .hqb file if you would like though, I just don't want you to think I was trying to finesse the rules.

I was happy that you have taken it upon yourself to organise this Game Jam, so thank you for that.

if that is the case, then I acted too quickly, a d I apologize!   If you can replicate the pixelation, I hope you can maybe submit the bug to Squidgemonster!  When I get time, I will requalify the submission - thank you for letting me know that it wasnt edited in post🙏

I apologise for the late reply, I was actually at a LEGO show this weekend.
I will do another PDF generation and see what that throws up, then if it is still doing it I will submit the bug report.

Keep up the good work
