truly unique
How kind! Thank you.
I clicked on this for the interesting thumbnail- nice job.
Really like the spread out layout, nice for avoiding eye strain!
You should update this to have the inspiration included the file.
Thank you for your kind words. I've updated the file.
What a wonderful and well written little module! I love the use of metaphor and the cultural tie ins. You made a really sweet little story in a grimdark world which is an impressive feat.
Thank you! Exactly what I'm going for.
I would not expect an adventure this wholesome (well... it can be wholesome, depending on the players' actions) to incorporate so many genuinely clever elements.
Just like Shadowdark uses real time to track torches, this scenario uses real time to check if the person you are trying to search is still alive. Simple, yet effective! The encounters on your way to the goal are randomly determined, so even though the adventure itself is linear, it still has some replayability to offer. And the fact that the XP-giving treasure is your family is just cute.
It's a shame I wasn't able to rate it based on the inspiration. The covers used as inspiration are nowhere mentioned.
I looked and his inspiration info is on the store page itself. I was a little confused about the rules of this myself.
Thank you! How kind.
It's noteworthy that the memory mechanic also encourages replayability as well.
I've updated the file to include the covers.
