Will you have any print copies like you did with Grimhill Fort? If so, I'd love to purchase this one, too! :D

Just wow. I love the layout and style. It definitely feels like a finished product.

Developer

Thank you very much. Well, it is a finished product :D I could potentially tweak it forever, but you gotta know when to stop :)

if I am completely honest I used a lot of this zine, as inspiration for how one might format zine. Everything is so crisp, visually pleasing, and clear:) a little intimidating even, with so much flavor presented so succinctly, and even with a class.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words. Glad the adventure helped you in some way. That's what game jams are for - to learn from each other :)

Very well done, evocative art, fun dungeon, and an extra class to boot! Sign me up.

Developer

Thanks. We wanted to cram as much stuff as possible but keep it clean as well.

Wonderful layout, beautiful art and overall a very thematic little adventure! I absolutely love the Indiana Jones inspired class, too! They're gonna give the Thief a run for their money, that's for sure! :D Top class adventure.

Developer

Thank you very much. I couldn't simply escape the good old tropes I grew up with, I had to write them in. Pulp is the best opportunity to do so :)

Love the design, the vibe and the color pallette.  The art for me is everything 

Developer

Thanks! Glad you like it :)

Incredible artwork, incredible style. I love the helpful color coordination! Great concept! I might struggle to decide how the NPCs become involved, but a better GM than I could love that openness.

How did you make this so quick?!

Developer(+1)

Thanks. Much appreciated.  I tend to leave out the PC involvement to the GM and the players. I usually change this when I run published adventures anyway, so I just don't write it in.

When the game jam started I had a few days until a planned vacation, so I started immediately and worked on it pretty much for three/four days straight :)

The vibes in this one were great. I took some layout inspiration when designing my own.

Developer

Thanks! No problem at all. That's what game jams are for ;)

This is really REALLY fantastically done, but I would expect nothing less. Great work. 

Developer

Thank you very much for the kind words. Glad you like it.

Really love the pulp magazine design of this one. It's a work of art!

Developer

Thank you very much :) :)

That layout is so dang clean, and I loved the use of consistent styling to signpost what each section was. What a complete delight to read over.

Developer

Thanks for the kind words. As a "forever DM"  I am strongly attached to a clean, easy-to-navigate layout. Flipping through pages wastes precious game time.

Very cool vibes, art, and layout!

Thanks a lot :)
