Great setup for an open adventure. Strong characters with understandable motivations. I like it!

Nice little adventure here! The cover is lovely. I would like to have had a brief description of each area accompanied with the map, but I like the provided backstory. It's easy to drop in a rural town. Good job on the entry!

Great premise and adventure. I loved the backstory and the grimdark theme. Useful and illustrative mini-maps. Sandbox and faction play. Great job overall. I would love some hooks and/or a clear objective.

Wonderful tantalizing cover.  Nice role-playing situation, including the array of NPCs and events.

This is a fun setup for an adventure with lots of interesting moving parts. The giant living stone is especially cool. Plenty of directions a GM could go with that.

Strong setup for a location-based adventure. I like how the table of events does a lot of heavy lifting during gameplay. Great work!

A neat forest camp of precariously balanced factions for players to knock over! I love how much flavour is packed into few words.

Really fun vibe that fits the theme super well! Fun adventure, great work!

Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.

Nice situation/location-based adventure that I would describe (in a good way) as a house of cards sitting upon a throne of lies. I could easily see the PCs stumbling across this and making a mess of everything the way that only player characters can do.

The area map is very good. I see this adventure fitting in nicely within an already going fantasy campaign, maybe dropping in a hex, or for a one-shot. Great story with a nice amount of moving parts.

Thanks for having a look. I was aiming for a real plop it anywhere (or madcap one shot) vibe. Cheers!

Compact and fun clash of elements: woodland fey, a "malachite" egg, and middling members of the Order of Malachias! Ominous possibilities alongside hijinks, such as "a bear wanders in & tries to fall asleep in Malva's tent," haha. Nice work!

Folk fantasy wasn't something I was aiming for exactly, but it certainly came out in the writing process. Thanks for taking a look and commenting. I appreciate it.
