Thank you, Francisco. I completely agree about the loops. I had plans to include some (as well as add verticality) that I cut during development. The only artifact of those plans is the hole in the ceiling on level 3 that goes to the surface. If I revise it, I’ll surely include more ways to maneuver the levels and to enter and exit the dungeon. Thanks again for reading and for your feedback!
I love that you set the party’s purpose and gave an immediate, unsolvable problem! Like, you even say it in the text, that the ritual cannot be stopped. That’s gusto!
Love the Buddha statue! May you be well 🙏
The customizable charts are a nice touch that make reuse very obvious and appealing.
A rivercrawl rescue mission is a super cool idea! You’ve got an Americas vibe to this, too, which is neat to see in a fantasy game. And as a nonbinary person, I love that you included one! Yay, Clover!
Love the cover, the maps, the creatures, the vaporwave-y, asd/adhd perzine-ish design. Very original and neat! And good nostalgia, too. I’m from the 80s, so. Ya got me!
Thank you! I was very fortunate to find Jon. He’s a great collaborator and translates ideas to pictures very effectively in his own cool style. He really saved the day!
It pleases me to no end that you found the Easter egg 😊 It’s the kind of thing a designer could go their whole life and never hear about, and you found it in, like, a day!
And I’m glad you enjoyed Quiver! Jon did a great job bringing her and the crew to life.
Jon is an extremely talented illustator, and we had a very easy and fun collaboration. It was amazing that he just showed up on the discussion posts and said, here I am.
Thank you for your feedback. If I make a proper cover for the adventure, I will include a summary, overview, or at least a teaser blurb of some kind.
Thank you! I have a lot more ideas about zones and zone-based play that I didn’t have the time or space to develop for the jam. I’ll likely include them in the revision or in a subsequent module.
Thank you so much! I planned the layout to be extra easy. I’m hoping to revise and expand this in the future, but the clean design will remain a top priority.
All the artwork is good, too. Love the tiny splashes of red in the otherwise b&w look.
“These first level chumps” is pure gold phrasing xD and will become a part of my table vernacular. It’s also a neat idea that I don’t see often, you know, explaining why these nobodies are the ones undertaking this kind of challenge. I’ve seen it in DCC, but not so much elsewhere.
And I love the use of the encounter levels for areas as given in Shadowdark. I tried to do that, too, but I think you did it better. Well done.
I love that you put the map on the cover. That’s a clever way to save space, and it also makes it stand out.
Title is great. Caught my eye right away.
Love the weird ad page. That’s a great flavor touch.
Oh, and unrelated to this one: I love your other adventure, The Nightmare at Castle Goldgloom. I did a Solodark play through of that a couple weeks ago.
Love the title. It made Great White play in my head immediately ;)
You have an interesting set up here, and I very much like the use of clues, that you provide a bit of guidance to the DM, and the sunken treasures concept seems very fun.
