I love the look and feel of this one!

Awesome maps, I love the whole vibe.

Very creative! You managed to cram a lot in there, I could see you easily exploding past 8 pages with the idea!

You've managed to fit quite a lot into your 8 pages. Very cool, and your layout is awesome!

Love that it has a recommended playlist. 

The first picture reminds me of "Skinner Sweet from American Vampire"

I never knew I needed a crossover between vampires and merfolk until now.

Such a creative way to tie those covers together. Also, AI or not, I'm smitten with those isometric city maps. Nice work!

LOVE the addition of the playlist, have to steal that idea for next time. Really cool and evocative, a different take on vampires than you typically see in RPGs and some cool potential for political intrigue. Well done!

It's 9 pages but that last page is just repeats of images from earlier pages so I'm considering it 8 pages. :)

Very evocative, I love the style and layout. The usefulness of the AI generated caves map is questionable, the town ones are a bit more for vibes so less an issue but the caves just seemed to be a bunch of random encounters until you fight the boss.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but are you basically unable to succeed if you don't have a wizard in the party?

Would like to see this setting expanded upon in the future without the space limitations.

I have no idea how an additional cover image got added. Hope it doesn’t disqualify me!

I had part of the description dedicated to finding a spellcasting wizard NPC along the way but deemed it too information overload-y. Guess I should have kept that part in.

I kind of assumed that the party would have to find an NPC spellcaster then, but the earlier descriptions about basically everyone being a vampire made me second guess it.

Really cool ideas in here and an interesting concept. I'd love to see it fleshed out more without a page limit in the future.
