I love that you made this VTT accessible. Its really cool to see how folks styles of play influnce how they design games.
This is a great first level adventure. As stated many times over, love the first table, it had a fun attitude that pulled me into reading the whole thing! Beating the baddy before the ritual completes is a tried and true pulp finale too.
This is really awesome, great atmosphere and seems super usable, great work! Love those maps.
Nice cover, layout, and design. Very Shadowdark.
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.
Great work in capturing the ethos and style of Shadowdark while bringing in a healthy dash of eeriness. Grim, with lots of great tables and monsters. Nice map. Easy to run. Nice one!
Great art, great vibe, cool setting, fantastic enemy variety, and great variation in terms of motivations for the NPCs. Well done!
Easy to digest and run and builds up to a fun boss. Lots of atmosphere and very pulpy which fits in great with the Weird Tales themes. I especially like the situation in the Mushroom caverns and the inclusion of original monsters. Great adventure!
"WHY SEND THESE FIRST LEVEL CHUMPS?" Is such a good table haha. Great job!
Thanks for the motivation table and random power table. Always good to have some variance and inspiration.
Really good - nice consistent tone, and attention to detail
I literally just finished the Serpent Queen TV show last night, immediately saw this and did the Leo Decaprio 'HEY I KNOW THIS ONE' meme
There's multiple Serpent Queens too!
