A module revolving around a beauty serum extracted from an alien lichen, involving some classic Mothership exploitation. The presentation is exciting, involving some novel use of public domain art and colouring. The facility is good, with a really nice map, but the writing style is such that a lot of words are spent conveying information, that would have been quicker to access during games with some clever itemization and highlighting (though what highlighting there is is good). Especially the description of the mechanics behind the serum, is quite convoluted, and a lot of text is spent regaling the marketing stunt in great detail, which could have been done in a few bullet points.

The module purposefully leaves some questions open for the warden to answer, and while I am not opposed to that in principle, the ones here are exactly the kind of thing I would have wanted the module to provide: an incentive for the players to actually go to the lab, and the effects of using the beauty serum. Leaving these out are a pretty significant omission to me, which I think harms the module, even if done purposefully.

All in all, though, if you’re happy to fill out these blanks yourself and do some parsing, this could be a very fun break-in module.

Thanks for the write-up! The feedback is fair and I'll keep it in mind for the future.
