I love the mini map breakouts.

This is awesome. Love the compact and minimal but still evocative writing and the layout with text and graphics. Well done :)

Very nice. I love the optional elements and the neatly laid out, terse elements. The insets of the map zones are very handy as well. But the art, oh the art! So good.

Developer

Thank you very much! The art was really fun to do and came together surprisingly quick.

That cover art drew me in completely.  The maps are very good and the enchantress is so cool looking.

This is my favorite type of art to see in OSR materials! It feels so raw, but has so much personality. Love it!

Developer

Thank you, I really enjoy pure black and white art for OSR type games!

Hand drawn art is nice to see! Really nice layout and design. Dagon comes to the Shadowdark!

This is a clean, fantastic trip of whimsy!  As a graphic designer, I appreciate the vibe and style of the layout.  The spirit of this adventure is what grabs me next and descriptions hook you.

Great work! This thing has an economy of words that is wonderful. For the swashbuckler we get "Malnourished human in a rusty breastplate, fancy moustache." That is everything the GM needs to know to make this character engaging and interesting. Similar examples abound. 

The layout is simple and clear. 10 minutes of prep and you could run this. It uses the Necrotic Gnome style, which works well here. There's a few places where I might move the monsters to the beginning of the key to make them more obvious to the GM (and players) but that's a nitpick.

There's plenty here for a night of fun and shenanigans. Very well put together, very atmospheric and evocative. And the artwork is great. 

Hope we see more from you!
