I like the story. Definitely can see the Lord of the Rings influence.  I also like your inspiration statement at the beginning where you explain how you got your ideas and say you had divine inspiration.  Sometimes that is how it is.  Very cool.  Afterflame is a great idea and I love the rhyme, the talkative tomb, and the movement of the Lords. Using actual pictures of objects was a nice touch too. Great job!

Very spooky, and such cool art. I'm obsessed with the idea of dragons as fantasy jets, and I'd love to see you execute on that shadowdark soccer system someday!

I really like the introduction, that could be straight up Dark Souls 4 which I love! The gritty tone in the art is cool, I just wish there was a bit of 8-bit influence throughout to dial in on the retro vibes. With a bit of formatting for the room descriptions this could be an absolutely amazing supplement. Great work this is awesome!

Thank you! I might format the descriptions and add some more art and detail after the jam when I can add a couple more pages and space it out. 

I'd be lying if I said Darksouls wasn't a huge influence on this too, so I'm super glad the vibes came across!

I really like the tones and vibes from this one. I like how you kept everything tight to your vision.

I'd look at your labeling of the maps vs their description, they seem to be off. I figured it out from the text, but was confused for a bit trying to figure out what they meant because I think it was supposed to be associated with the Overland Hex Map, which would make sense. And some do match, but others it's not clear where they would be. I will say I do love the image on pg 13, that's a nice mash up of images.

Thank you for the kind words and the heads up! I forgot to change the numbers from my placeholder, I should have a fix up soon. Pg. 13 is probably my favourite page too!
