This looks great. Cool vibes, excellent layout and design. However, I can’t figure out how to use this at the table. The mansion is pretty straight forward. But nothing else is very clear to me.
Room 3 of the mansion says that there is an exit to room 10 of the tower, but that’s the end of the tower, not the beginning, and implies that it leads to the underground mountain.
The Tower (p20) says there are 3 floors, each with 3 exits, but there are only tables for the second and third floors, no first floor. (It took me a while to even realize these were tables of the rooms). Can you not return to the first floor?
The tower map (p23) design suggests 6 floors, most with 1 room each, leading mostly linearly.
So, from what I’m understanding you go from the mansion, to room 10 of the tower, to the mountain, and the rest of the tower is not accessible. If that’s a typo and “10” should really be “0”, great, but can I get back to the first floor? How many floors are there, 3 or 6? And do you navigate them as the map suggests or is the map just for flavor and not meant to be useful, even though it’s repeated on each page is if it’s intended to be useful?
I admit I only read this quickly, some of the text (at least towards the end where most of my focus was) doesn’t make sense to me either. For example, the woman gains HP if someone dies near the mountain, but there are no encounters there… unless the PCs die fighting her? So why do I care if anyone dies here unless she kills them?
The whole thing feels like a fever dream, but not the good kind I can run “without prep”. I’m going to guess that think this suffers from a lack of 3rd party play testing. Like I opened with, the layout is masterfully executed for use at the table, but I think some of the content needs to be retooled to make it work.
All that being said, I look forward to seeing more from this creator!
