This is just so awesome! Way beyond what I figured could be accomplished!
Which program(s) do you use to create this? I am using MS Word, and I'm still learning as I go. I see you have vertical wording (so cool) and lots of really handy hyperlink, too. Thanks for sharing this one!

Thanks so much! I used InDesign for the layout, drew the map using Illustrator, and a lot of Photoshop to edit all the images.

Just fantastic and so fun.  I have nothing else to say except that every time I look at the cover art, Professor Memnon looks like Donald Trump in a crazy costume lol

Hahaha, who knows, it could be him! Those spandex supervillain costumes are extremely slimming ;)

This is a mood, a vibe, the looks and layout alone make me want to pick it up.  The lair leads to it's name.  There are instances where  I see a lot of entries clean and minimalist...but every ounce of this adventure drips utility, while doing it with style.  The contrast style of the font helps identify importance and the art jumps off the page.  Well done!

Thanks for the kind words. One of my design goals was to try and make it instantly playable without any prep. There are so many adventures (from gigantic publishers) that are not table friendly and its super frustrating!

100 percent.  When I started DMing my first time, I got frustrated with similar things and ended up homebrewing a whole world...down to the profession breakdown of the population lol.  Refined that since then...cheers

Absolutely stunning work! 5/5 stars on all accounts! The looping map, fun monsters, hilariously over-the-top villain and beautiful layout! Great work.

Amazing work! I have not read all the details, but this is a fun read and has a lot of potential at the table. Well done.
