Mouth-watering myth melange.  Harry Clarke hits it out of the park.

Man this is really great, there is so much here and it's all very actionable stuff with lots of crunchy bits for the players to chew through. 


The art slaps too and really complements the worldbuilding here. The leshy is brilliant and really harks back to some of those early D&D modules. 


I just wish the layout was less crammed in, you're bursting at the seams here and I think this one would have really benefitted from using all 4 pages allowed in the jam and giving the excellent stuff here some breathing room so it's a bit easier on the eye. 


Layout aside, this is top stuff and I really hope it does well in the jam. Those squirrel Knights are so noble and deserve all the recognition they can muster!

This is a fantastic forestcrawl with a strong, melancholic atmosphere. The central premise, escorting an abbot to complete a ritual to contain an ancient evil is a great hook, and the mystery behind last year's failure adds a compelling layer of intrigue right from the start.

The design feels dynamic and dangerous. The pointcrawl map is clear and easy to read, and the art is very effective and adds to the adventure's distinctive charm. A very well-executed and inspiring submission. Well done!

This felt like a classic heroic quest. I love how deep the lore is...

It´s Cairn but at the same time feels like it was made on the 70s. Awesome!

This is fantastic work. The theme, story, NPCs and monsters are all really engaging. Very Cairn-ish.

hey, thank you! i'm really glad you enjoyed it. There is a ton of interesting folklore about the leshy in real life, and there was SO much I wanted to do with him lol. Thanks for reading!
