Wonderful idea and execution. The illustrations help make sense of each area and I liked that you provided a "Lore" and "Guidance" section for each area.

I quite liked the Conductor and the variety of their special abilities, it's a very cool image. I liked that all of the Loot was unique and interesting. I also like the ability to sprinkle in the Musical Puzzles, I think that would be fun to play out at a table - I'm definitely going to use the idea of knocking out a rhythm in some future session.

You really provided a lot of useful content. In some sections there's almost too much. The cover illustration depicting the Conductor is exquisite.

Thanks for the kind words! I'll make sure to let the illustrator of the cover art know it was well liked!

I love the idea of the giant musical instrument and your realization of it plus the layout and Guidance are  really going to help run it on a game

Thank you! It was a lot of fun trying to find all sorts of ways to tie everything back to instruments/music/composers

This layout is great, it would be easy to print one-sided and staple together! A classic idea for a dungeon, presents some unique scenarios, and I adore the art. It's a bit difficult to see where to start reading, I think that could be done better, but overall I love your adventure. Nice job!

Trying to fit everything onto two page spreads was a challenge and I'm happy it came together nicely for each location! Appreciate the feedback regarding where to start, after the jam ends I'll try to add some preamble on the first two pages to make it easier to follow.

Really creative and unique premise. Azathoth, Dwarf Fortress level constructions and the Giant blacksmith from Anor Londo playing drums. Great stuff.

Thanks for the kind words! I had a ton of fun coming up with stuff to put into it

What a clever idea. This a great dungeon and scenario. You managed to make a big, music-themed dungeon that is whimsical without being ridiculous. Lots of great ideas in this one. Well done.

Thank you! I got some early feedback to remove a bunch of my terrible puns which helped pull it back from the precipice of ridiculousness :)
