The cover art is a delight, as is the art and design throughout.
In a challenge full of wildly creative entries, this is one of the most creative. This feels like a more family friendly take on Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser, which isn't something I would have predicted, but it's great.
The mirror puzzle is pretty hard, especially with a ticking clock involved, but that's literally my only quibble.
Basically a perfect adventure for many urban campaigns. I will 100% be using this in future.
Thank you for the kind words! Swords and Deviltry was probably my most recent Appendix N read, so it's influence on this project is very likely.
It's always tricky to know how hard to make puzzles/riddles. I've tested this one on a group before and they did alright with it, but I'd be interested to hear how it goes for others. I can definitely lengthen the timer or add extra hints in future updates.
This really hits all of the marks for a great heist module for me. There's so much flavour here, and it looks like it would be tons of replayable fun for the table. Also, really love the map! Super good.
Neat little rating system, lots of random elements and stunning art. Love it!
Great art. Clever premise. Lots and lots of content that would be super easy to use at the table. A total winner — would love to see an expanded version of this.
Beautiful art and layoult, fun little premise and some random tables complete the fun. This is perfect!
I really like the reverse-heist framework for this adventure! The tables hold so many gems; the wizard battle stood out to me among the challenges. The set pieces in the hideout feel exciting and interesting.
Wow this is so great! Love all of the tables for "the steal" so it's unique for every play through
This is a really fun idea. I like the rating system, simple and easy to implement. Borrowing the flashback from Blades on the Dark is a nice inclusion. And the guild itself suggests various other Robin Hood style adventures. Nice.
This is really sweet and funny. Nice set up and clear presentation. I get the feeling that it would work really well with kids and/or that the author has had experience of trying to GM a bunch of murder hobos and wanted something that could act as a civilising influence!
I LOVE this Heist! Every piece of the presentation is gorgeous, and the chase scene complications are standard Hollywood fare that translate so well to the tabletop. Well done!
This module has lots of replayability built in from the intro roll tables alone (I stole some scandalous documents from a spolied prince, that happened to be alive). I also really enjoyed your “I planned for this” mechanic, a favorite from CBR+PNK and other games I’ve seen it used similarly in (Songs and Sagas, & my own remix of that). Phenomenal job!
Thanks for the kind words - I'm glad you enjoyed it! For the "I planned for this" mechanic, I was inspired by Honey Heist and the "I know a guy" house rule, but I'll have to check out the games you mentioned. I'd love to see how other folks incorporate flashbacks.
And watch out for those scandalous living documents - nothing but trouble!
The idea of a Robin Hood-style guild is already cool in itself. The mission construction table is excellent, with good ideas that open up further possibilities. The agent ranking system is clever and thematic. The escape is simple and ingenious, and could fit into any city I have. I'll just need to confirm the river, but it's very good. The flashback idea is interesting. The delivery is dangerous. The layout and art are spectacular. Overall, the work is excellent.
What a great idea! It’s really well put together, I think it will make a great solo play as you can indulge yourself in details as much as you like. I was reading through the other comments when I saw your Honey Heist reference. This is a nice spin on Grant Howitt’s mechanics- now I shall have to try it out playing as a bear!
The atmosphere is fantastic. The precise layout, the detailed map, and the clear titling all work together to bolster the adventure's strong central concept.
You packed so much cool stuff in here so neatly! I love the blending of some FitD elements in here too. Very nice!
Suave - you manage to set the table with a Fritz Leiber mood.
This is great. I won't repeat what others have already said. If there wasn't the hard page limit, I'd suggest adding multiple drop off points so that everything could be random and replayable. This isn't meant as a critique. I want more drop offs to be able to keep running it!
Great art, great page design, great idea. I really love the layout for this adventure and vault map is so fun and detailed. I hope to use this multiple times in my campaigns.
Top quality module, so well written and easy to get into, I love the layout starts with the interactive feature of the die drop, the art is really appropriate, written in a system-neutral way but would be a great starter adventure for 5e's Golden Vault series. 5/5 no notes.
