Really useful feedback, thank you!

I agree that it could be longer, and a lot prettier. I wanted to do room descriptions and more GM guidance but ran out of time. Hopefully I can make a more finished version in the new year :)

Style: 3/5. It's very striking to look at, but there's an awful lot of it that simply repeats. Why repeat the description for the hallways 36 times if it's the same every time? Way too much flicking backwards and forwards past a bunch of room descriptions to get to the game bits. The tangrams are cute as hell, though.

Substance: 2/5. I feel like I failed a SAN check reading this. I'm not really sure how I'd run it; there's both an enormous amount of stuff, but also not enough direction on how to interact with it as a player or GM. We just wander around hoping to pick stuff up? I wish there had been 1-6 sets of rooms with significantly more detail, rather than 36 almost-identical rooms, and a lot more GM guidance, ideally in one place.

Style: 2/5. The presentation looks fantastic at first glance, but some of the text is too small to read, especially the intro text and the maps, at least on the tablet I run games off. There are a handful of minor spelling mistakes that nonetheless threw me, particularly the 'corps' in the tunnel (I think this should be 'corpse'?).

Substance: 4/5. A simple and easy-to-run mission, with some fun traits alongside an interesting premise. The characters are well fleshed-out but don't have a lot to do. Stats for the ghost would be useful, given that destroying it is one of the ways to get past it, and a map of the weatherstation would probably be more useful than one of Bolivia.

Style: 3/5. The text blocking is useful for reading the layout, and it's easy to read. The map could be more interesting, and a layout for the tower would be useful, as it seems more of a focal point than acres of burnt foliage.

Substance: 3/5. The creature is great, and there's plenty here to play with; I feel confident I could run the mission without having to tweak anything. I do wish there was more to interact with in the various locations, however.

Style: 4/5. It's beautiful. The front and back cover are a nice touch, worth highlighting, but there's nothing here that feels missing. Perhaps the example mission could have been split over more pages? The sheer density of information on those two pages is enormous, which feels egregious with the 2-pages of art dedicated to splitting out the compendium.

Substance: 5/5. It's got everything; A mission, a huge pile of traits, a bunch of NPCs and a boss, collectibles. Incredible work.

Style: 3/5 A Beautiful cover page with some minimal art inside. Could be prettier past the front page but theres so much content it's hard to be mad.

Substance: 4/5 A classic dungeon crawl replete with multiple floors, detailed maps, filled with bad guys and interactible elements. Solid content warning up front. Some collectibles/traits would be fun, but I can also understand players not wanting to bring anything back from the neo-nazi oil rig.

Style: 5/5. It's gorgeous. Colourful, filled with art, with nary an inch of wasted space.

Substance: 5/5. There's so much of it! 15 rooms worth of detailed encounters, full NPC statblocks, traits, rewards, collectibles and an frightening mechanic for running out of air. Without playing it I can't think of anything to add; it's quite comprehensive on first read.
