Love the creativity and the concept of the game. Art is pretty dope! Critiques are that it's too long...I feel like 2 or 3 of the first pages could have been condensed into one pretty easily to get closer to the parameters. Overall, Great concept! Cheers
that's honestly on me, old academic sensibilities of 'abstracts don't count against word count'
I'll do a Zine layout next time, it looks super cool!
Is that Tarot art work?! The Art on those cards is cool.
in the maps? These ones are the old black and white Raider White Tarot cards, they fit the vibe and were assured to be in public domain
Very cool
Very creative, and I'm probably going to use this with my group in a city at some point. Unfortunate that this is too long to be legal.
Very unique!
I like the concept of a dungeon revealed to the players through tarot cards.
The atmosphere was good, though the language felt a little too utilitarian. This makes it very playable, but doesn't spark the imagination.
Overall I really liked it. Unfortunately, it is both 4 pages too long (12 pages instead of 8) and I can't find where you listed your 3 inspiration covers. So I don't think this counts as a legal entry.
Extremely creative. Loved the idea of using tarot cards to lay out the dungeon. Personally, i think it would have pushed this up another level if the spread was randomized, rather than bespoke.
Unfortunately, the submission is longer than the maximum eight pages. But this was a beautiful creative endeavour. You should be proud!
ah damn, I thought it would've been okay with the three pages of legal plus cover, the adventure itself covers I think 7 pages.
I'll be working on the randomised spread soon.
Thanks!!
Aw yeah, it's a brilliant idea to lay stuff out with tarot cards. A brilliant theme. I am running a Gauntlet soon and I think I might get this one out to the table and give it a try.
I'm so happy to hear it!! Definitely let me know how it goes. I'll get a 2.0 out soon with more rooms to cover Major Arcana fully and get a rogue like feel to it.
