I really enjoyed The Red River Run, it's a well written and organized adventure. The river travel mechanics on the back of a Ooze are fantastic. It's got a lot of content for the page limit, definitely something I'd run at my table. I know this probably doesn't matter, but man I love the title font and color on the front cover :)
Well done, well done.
Loved your layout! A midwestern spin on a fantasy world was something I was not expecting to see but here we are! I was trying to confirm in the writing if the adventurers are going down the river during the festival proper, or before it because the riverlanders wanted the problem to be solved before it started, but I couldn’t find any conclusive info on that. I would lean towards the adventure happening during the run! The shift from festival to serious problem is a lot more attractive to me :) Rivers are definitely not done enough justice, specially considering their importance in pre-industrial civilizations. Nice work!
Wonderful whimsy, especially the folk sayings and good use of art. I love this river rafting inspiration and will be using the rafting ooze travel/rapids mechanic.
A river crawl—what a great idea! Also love the lore you've developed here. Good stuff!
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 flavor you've put into this world. Has a wild west frontier, floating down the Mississippi vibe that feels lived in. Super cool!
Slots nicely in the Knave rules, and the three acts give a nice variety. Looks fun to run! Could be just me but it took me a while to understand what this ooze was about.
I love the idea of tectonic plate titans as gods. That's such a cool idea. The whole setting is really evocative.
It would be nice if the river map had an indication which way was upstream. I assume the caves are downstream from River Hop, but I was never quite sure.
