Knaves delving a sacred site while a conflict for its very contents reaches it’s tipping point? Sign me in for that idea, love it! Learning more about Emildreg from all the locations makes it all the more ironic. Well contained and very tempting!
this feels like one of those weird zines you pick up without knowing anything about it that just carries this evil, sacrilecous energy. Though it lacks certain detail and the art is extremely utilitarian, I think it emphasises a "depth crawl" style that makes it less about tactics and more about dealing with the dread and bad shit that increases with the levels.
I like the setup of trying to steal some relics out from under two warring religious factions, and I like the map, but the text could use some work. I'm not clear on what relics the players are supposed to be retrieving. The only other mention of relics are the instruments, but that doesn't strike me as an "ultimate quest objective," so to speak.
The isometric dungeon illustration is absolutely sending me. Evocative of the early days of the medium in the best way.
Love the factions and the conundrum for the players. Great work
