So a lot of good things are happening here. The title in itself is just so good, it gives me style, flavour and a unparalleled fear for a were-moose. I mean what the f***.

I also really enjoy a villain who strikes when the hero is down. Why bother? Just kill them when they are close to dead. 

One thing I would challenge are all the DR14-checks. That's quite a steep curve to pass. It also passes 35 % of the time, and then after a fail (which is highly likely) then you're down to only passing 25 % of the time. So it will roll rather quickly. I guess that's what you're after, since you want this ended in 1 hour of play. 

Another thing which could be nice was more than just traps and checks. Some treasure? Something you wanted to hunt? A smoke in a chimney? Why are the players where they are? And why would they enter the castle? Do they know a rumour.


Anyway this is all jazz that couldn't fit because you only had an A5. So I'm sorry! I just see so much potential which is the mark of good creative work. So all shut up and applaud your work instead. Good job!

Thanks Philip!  The idea of a were-moose sounded humorous and a little ominous at the same time, so I had to go for it.

Yes, on the DR14 tests I went back and forth a couple times on what number to assign.  Probably I should have stuck with 12 and maybe I'll revise that after the jam concludes. I would have loved to play test it out first but didn't have the opportunity.  Eventually I'll run it as a "dream sequence" in the MB campaign I'm gm'ing.  That way if it's too deadly and kills off the PCs in an hour's time they can just wake up. 

I would certainly have loved an extra page to work with!  A backstory would have been great.  I would have also liked a few days of wilderness travel and perils as the players follow the track of the deadly were-moose.  I considered smaller font to squeeze in more content but wasn't sure exactly where a printed A5 page would lose legibility (fairly quickly for those of us with reading glasses, LOL).

Thanks again!
