I really like the map on page 8. Great work!

Love the hand drawn art & map! The area descriptions really captured the spooky swamp vibe.

Super clean, great writing and that map is amazing!

I love that cover art!

Had a great time making the artwork and map for this adventure. Time constraints meant I had to abandon my original plans of inking the drawing to achieve a more "Shadowdark" branding in favor of more detailed pencil drawings. I feel like the pencil ended up having a really cool ethereal quality that lends itself well to our adventure and I'm really proud of how it came out. Hope you all enjoy!

One of the best maps in any of the submissions I've rated.

Thanks! The map was one of the more challenging things to get right but I'm very happy with how it came out! - Andrew

Loving the art and the wet in it. What weird tales covers did you get?

Developer(+1)

The inspiration cover we chose was "The Damp Man Again" which we adapted into our boss monster and setting. The other covers we got were The Bride of Osiris and The Master of Doom!

Gorgeous art and loved the creepy concept. Unfortunately I didn’t see the assigned covers in the pdf or on the shop page, which made it hard to rate the Inspiration. That map is insanely cool and I love the creepy vibe it gives with such a simple layout.

Thanks so much for taking the time to look through this!  The Inspiration for this one was The Damp Man Again. I listed it in the introduction and in the description of the itch.io page if you want to see the inspiration!

Cool concept, excellent map design. Layout of the actual text is a little weird for me, might just be my dyslexia. Good work overall :)
