I ran this adventure this tuesday and it was a blast! You can check out my session recap here: https://pakkanen.dev/enigmaoferyx
Love the maps and the character portraits. Also I love that ghast and its carrion stench ability.
Dude the drawings in portrates.... what a smart way to display your NPCS!
This might be one of my favorites so far :)
A murder mystery, what a fun set-up you've got here. All the involved NPCs have plenty of depth and there are a lot of layers to unravel. Normally I worry that something like this would be hard to run with all the info keeping, but your use of bullet points and concise summaries have alleviated those worries.
Thanks! I've had similar worries with mysteries too. Its nice to hear that my design is having the intended effect.
Love the mystery setup, and love how much of the material from the covers you used. Great work!
Nice 2 page spread. Love the hand drawn headshots!
The Evening of Still Streets is such a cool framing device.
I'm always a big fan of mystery adventures. They're so difficult to get right and you've done it here. The NPC portraits add a brilliant splash of colour to the zine. I'd love to run this for a group; Otis the cat is the real hero of this adventure. Well done!
Bigger image of my covers:
I realized the claimed alibis for each character is missing. I'll try add those before the gamejam ends.
Added. Also I removed Shadowfolk's magic/silver immunity because this is supposed to be for lvls 1-3 and nothing like this is found during the adventure. Although you could run this for higher lvls too probably, in which case I'd bring the immunity back.
