Very happy to finally put my money where my mouth is and support one of my all-time favorite creators! Thank you so much for everything, Hippo. Truly a legend.

Such a pleasure to read! The art and layout is gorgeous - the whole adventure is a work of art.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it!!

I might have a bias because I have a long-running campaign that takes place in a sub-arctic setting, but I loved reading this adventure. Beautiful art and very evocative writing. Particularly loved the Calling Horn and the Game of Champions! Would happily play in or run this adventure.

I absolutely love the theme and the artwork. The layout is very well done, too. I would love to run or play this adventure. Fantastic work!

Layout and premise are well thought-out and wonderfully evocative. I especially loved the mechanics for the Factions - particularly impressive given how concisely you were able to lay them out.

Beautiful work! I loved the art, premise, and the layout. Great stuff. 

Lovely art and wonderful premise combining two of my favorite types of adventures; seafaring and the undead. A delight to read and looks like a ton of fun to play.

Beautiful adventure! I'm a sucker for caves, and you really did them justice. I love the premise, your hirelings, and the mechanic for determining if the adventurers are too late.

Masterfully done from top to bottom. Would love to play or run this sometime!

Really wonderful art and layout, and a clever, original concept. Great stuff!

Thank you very much!! I'm a sucker for those lil guys :) will give your adventure a read shortly!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

You're not wrong, I was worried it would feel incomplete... but I loved the Crawler and Medusa idea too much to exclude. One of my favorite things is using cave systems as a sort of mega-dungeon that I can perpetually add to, but I realized (too late) that it's probably not the best fit for a jam.. though a cave megadungeon jam would be really fun.

All that to say, YES, I do plan to release the Crawler Caves in the future! As well as expanding upon The Nest with more tables, NPCs, and more encounters, and more more.

Thank you very much!! Terrifying was the goal :)

The layout was a huge struggle for me, still have a lot to learn, glad to hear it looks good, though!

Thank you, much appreciated!

Thank you very much!! If you ever do, feel free to hit me with some feedback.

Yeah, my buddy Fred nailed the cover, I'm so happy with it!

Thank you very much for the feedback!

All day every day!

Thanks a lot for the feedback!!

I swear by not naming creatures in general, but in this case, with creatures that thrive in the dark (and inspired in part by Aliens), it felt important to mention.

And yeah, most of my TTRPG experience (and my only adventure layout experience) is for D&D, for better or for worse. Time-permitting I would have loved to switch it up! Plan to for next time.

Thank you very much!! Massive props to my artist friend, Fred, who did all the illustrations. And yeah, I had the same concern about the font, it'll be different for the final version.
