You’re welcome. Looking forward to seeing how Pink Moon Hack turns out! The logo’s already a banger.

Very clean layout, and the color choices are similarly excellent. The writing is really where you knocked it out of the park; everything was interwoven, but not overly explained- leaving plenty of room for the GM & PC’s imaginations to run wild. All meat, no filler.

I’d run this in a heartbeat. What campaign couldn’t benefit from a lil more folk horror?

Super fun characters, and I absolutely adore their names! Couldn’t stop reading “Ham!” in the voice of Tracy’s wife from 30 Rock lol

Great colors & art. I hope these make it into the final draft of Aetherdark, or at least this kind of activity. I know I’ll definitely be running this silly diversion in a future campaign or three!

YO! This slaps! Also punches, kicks, and maybe does an armbar as well lol. The art is good, and layout is so clean (even if the background graphics could’ve been a teensy bit less opaque), but the writing is phenomenal! Punchy. Strong. Poetic. This felt like reading Gubat Banwa with the way the love of martial arts shone through.

Would love to see a full-length or alternate setting versions of this! Killer job.

Lovely art, and those maps kick ass! 3 of them total, 2 isometric, on just 4 pages? Incredible!

I enjoyed the plot twist, and the overall theme of the module. Great work.

You’re very welcome! And, same boat: Born to write. Forced to learn rudimentary layout on graphic design software.

I really enjoyed the story’s duality, and seeing it reflecting in the layout/color choices- very cool!

I wish the maps had been individually labeled, but the descriptions are well-written enough for me to follow along anyway. Good job!

A phenomenal entry! The colors, layout, & map were all very well done, but that writing is the obvious star!

I really felt for The Jade Prophet; being so misunderstood by his own followers, zealously stripping The Human from The Divine, in order to create a mythology that never was- reinforcing puritanical ideals & removing what probably made The Prophet’s teachings appealing to laymen in the first place. Timely! lol. This rules!

Thank you! I am thankful to not be the only MB entry, but I fully agree with your assessment & hope to see more in the future!

Per the edits, yeah, the pink text part wasn’t intended, it was an error caused by my learning Affinity for this jam & not realizing it had even done that lol. I fully intend to edit/fix these as soon as the judging period ends- as editing during judging is not allowed.

Gorgeous cover & layout! The writing is very snappy- not quite terse, but punchy, delivered as if we were the PCs who can only communicate in absolute necessity. No frills.

As a politics junkie, the content was like it was made for me. A stellar entry.

Thank you so much! I’ve ran 3 short campaigns so far, and I absolutely adore the system. I hope you get a chance to try it out soon!

I think the Thresher would like me, and certainly not ever crush me with its flail lol

Great monster, and very good visual design! I think I’d have liked to see it developed a bit more with the space given.

Very very good entry! The theme was on point, the roll tables are exquisite, and the layout is so clean!

This is a top-tier contender, and I am in awe of what you were able to make of this title!

Love this! Vibrant color choices, and yet another banger of an isometric map from Cita!

This one has a lot of heart, and downright creepy implications, that combine into a weird mess of the best kind. Very glad this one is system-neutral, because I have a feeling this one will be finding its way onto a lot of tables!

Fantastic entry! The vibes, theme, colors, map, layout, the despair track, the navigational gravity mechanics- you nailed every aspect of this!

This is the only Vaarn entry I’ve seen so far, which is yet another reason for this one to really stand out. Fantastic job!

This slaps! Love how close it holds to the source material, whilst still being lightweight enough to adapt to other settings & genres!

Great colors & use of public domain art as well. A lovely & unique entry!

I liked the color choices & hand-drawn map. The twist about the Amethyst Throne’s true purpose slaps! As do the annoying, but oddly endearing NPCs- fun personalities on those guys!

I wish the princely deaths had been expounded upon a bit more, and that the loot were a bit more valuable in order to compensate PCs for the risk this adventure entails.

The Metaphor add-on is a great addition in helping to understand the science & thought process behind this though-provoking Incursion. It’s also very nice seeing more Trophy entries!

The layout is a bit visually busy, but perfectly emulates the style of hand-written lab notes. And while I never prepared live bacterial cultures, I do remember prepping slides when I interned in a neuro lab for 3 years, and this is a haunting role-reversal for me to consider lol. Good job!

Very happy to see another Mythic Bastionland entry! Nice color choices & clean layout.

Really enjoyed the Omens, the disfigurements table, & how creepy Nadir was depicted! Also, holy hell, that sword is badass!

Very clean layout & great map! I’m a huge fan of the brain-swap mechanic! I know that some tables will find it more frustrating than fun, but for a one-shot I think it straddles that line quite nicely.

I also think the loot is great, as well as the visually-descriptive writing. Perfect science-fantasy fare.

Loved the insect Nobles & the finger wands! Great art, colors, layout & tables as well.

Would love to see a sequel where more of the floating Immortals’ home is explored.

Thank you so much! I’m hoping this method of speeding up Omens catches on as an optional rule for folks who want faster results. I personally don’t think the current rules are too slow, but I have had players roll high & not see anything interesting for half a session

This kicks ass, with an appropriate heavy metal backing track as it does so!

Great art, colors, & layout! I think labeling of hex D & E got swapped somewhere along the way, but everything else makes it clear which one is which. Incredibly on-theme, well-written, phenomenal loot, and oh so dangerous! An easy contender for finalist, in my view.

Great cover! The map is decent, a bit mislabeled, but that’s an easy fix once judging has ended.

Now, GODDAMN those spells are powerful! Love the science-fantasy set up, and the plot hooks for getting PCs involved. I need one of those Time Thieving Blades, myself!

Hell yeah, DURF!

The map is wonderful, and I really enjoyed everything about the Verdant Fire’s effects. Why separate that killer cover from the rest of the zine?

Love it! The monochrome color is perfect for this, and the layout was very clean.

Great encounters, and very refreshing to see a Tunnel Goons hack- definitely the only one I’ve seen this jam so far. Excellent work!

Great use of public domain art, alongside the simple & effective pointcrawl map. Really loved just how many encounters were packed in here, and how varied they all were.

But the real stroke of genius was connecting this to The Yaksha’s Sigil! I can’t believe I haven’t seen anyone else pull this off yet- so clever!

Excellent work, super clean layout, and beautiful writing throughout!

I loved how each ring ramped up the stakes somehow ever higher, and that there was still a small chance of hope for 1 or 2 Hunters, despite the destruction of the whole world in the basin.

Really liked that the Realm of the Dead was a mirror image of modern post-industrialization- that slaps!

The map is great & the colors are fantastic! The only thing I would’ve liked to have seen more of is more ways for the dancers to be attacked/fail.

Thank you! I think you might be the 1st person to shout out Aduwn, who I thought was an interesting encounter

Phenomenal job! Pretty sure you could run an entire mini campaign set in this zine alone!

Wonderful art that made me chuckle more than once, and fantastically usable maps as well. I love this!

Maps & art are great. Incredibly economical use of space- from the varied hexes, to the plethora of bestiary entries. Loved the faction play here too, felt very much alive! Fantastic work!

Thank you! Should’ve had them Yeet the bird chimes lol

Thank you kindly! MB is phenomenal, and I hope you get a chance to play it soon!

Trust, I’m fixing that text the same day judging ends lol. Can’t believe the fix was so easy- alas…

I LOVE these NPCs! Absolutely absurd, delightful, and hilarious!

The hand-drawn map is very charming, and I really liked the public domain art used as well. And you did really well with the karmic, anti-authoritarian theme, too!

Love the art here- the colors, the public domain stuff, but particularly the 2 maps!

Great work all around; highly lethal, but with enough valuable loot to make it worth the price of admission.

This absolutely rules! Total finalist contender material, from the beautiful map art to the layout!

Genuinely, if this were an actual written novel, everyone in the OSR would know of it, and half would say it’s part of their favorite series.

Hell yeah! 🤘

Love everything in here; the art, the layout, the Playbooks, the writing, the anti-corporatist messaging- all phenomenally well-done! I also think this may be the 1st PbtA entry I’ve read so far this jam

Man, I really need to get me some of that Weird Tales art- that shit is fire!

Really liked how much spot art you squeezed into this, as well as the texture & feel of an old thrift store find. My favorite part, though, was the bleak ending that could definitely serve as a hook for Matea’s redemptive sequel. Great stuff!

Loved the art, the writing was superb, and the enemies were really inventive!

Would definitely run this one, but I wish all the locations had been numbered, not just the last two
