Thank you for the kind words. Means so much that you took the time. It's our most valuable asset. I appreciate you!
You probably know this, but going back through and seeing your initial idea to now...it is crazy! The core is there, but the process really helps if you can get revisions in...which leads to your discovery (thank you BTW. Can change that for an update after). When I made the last revision and relinked all the images, I linked it to a version of the table I shared with a friend for the phone. The files size was the giveaway lol.
This means a lot. There was definitely a lot of me in this. A lot of the seeds from this adventure started in a VtM discord chat, and helping each other in Body Doubling session. So happy that it touched you and you felt the message a bit in it. Spelling is definitely a struggle since Cancer 4 years ago (fog brain) plus I cut down text to fit limits so sometimes it made since to me but then I read through and I'm like...oof. will definitely give another run through and add some art and stuff I edited out. Cheers for your time and your feedback!
I think you might of found a niche for kid-friendly games, or games for grown kids who like whimsy and fun. The adventure creation table is wonderful, and I feel like this could be a seed for a whole campaign for kids...and an awesome learning tool. TTRPGs are making their way into schools, therapy, and such.
My suggestion would be a rewrite of the names and descriptions a bit (could run into copyright issues if it got big enough), but the homage to it and meat of it could stay the same. I enjoyed the core concept and delivery!
For not being a native language, this really is an amazing adventure. I don't feel that, just a fun ride. There are some layout things (mostly mentioned already) but I love that you can feel the GM energy in this as spark for it's creation! Art is very nice, and creativity for the GM to design that is fun to tweak with the magic items.
Truly terrifying creature...and yes, knowing now what it is...this triggered my fear from childhood of the 'Children Under the Stairs.' Memorable is a great way to bring people back for another round. I echo what has been mentioned about readability, but an easy fix overall and might not effect some. Great job, and wonderful concept as a whole.
Love the idea of naming the monsters by the players...this can take on a life of it's own, and seeds future adventures if this is or becomes a part of a campaign.
Layout feels very DnD-esq which could help bridge with that being so popular. random tables is nice and love the size/location of the map. Nice work!
Very psychological in vibe...I dig that. Like the references to other psychological stories. There is a lot going on, so the note-taking player in me is giddy.
Clean layout...only suggestion would be to see what a 16 page format might do for breaking up some of the text (post 6-8 in particular), give a but more gutter space perhaps. However this isn't much of an issue just more of a curiosity.
Love the rich NPC characters. And find myself wanting to know more of their backstories...opens up prequel modules as a possibility. Cheers
I truly appreciate the kind words. You articulated exactly what I was going for here. I truly wanted to respect the spirit of OSR, but present something new and fresh...the idea just resonated with me too much not too, so I took a risk. High honors for me if it sits with just one person in comparison to some of their favorite community content.
Before the initial version, I cut out a part where you can use the example or make your own room NPCs with 6 things laying around you. Then make them into the NpCs that represent your Mind Gremlins, inability to sleep when trying, distractions, hyper-focus, info-dumping, and addiction. You very well could be trapped...might suggest some Floortime, some good trusted friends, and a soundtrack for vibe.
Idea started after a session in Vampire the Masquerade. Our server has cool downs after, and one player was doing Floortime after but her cat kept zooming and wanting "biscuits." I ' been researching TTRPG as a therapy tool, and boom...thought spiral. I was listening to Tron Legacy's soundtrack when it happened...
I appreciate the feedback and knowing a fellow 80s fan. Cheers!
