who knows, the itch search seems to be really bad. The design on this one is beautiful. Wonderful job.

I made a list on my blog of the ones you called out in your stream. For some reason I didn't see this topic until now! https://patchworkpaladin.com/2025/10/07/appendix-n-jam-winners/. I note the stream and this list don't match exactly -- I hadn't seen The Riddle of the Beggar Prince for example, and there are some on my page that aren't here.
Thank you so much for all your hard work.
The layout and illustrations really help set the tone, and the cover and back page are very nice! I'm kind of wondering what will happen if Orpheus arrives?? But there is a lot to do at the party -- I feel like it's a background you could use with several themes in an adventure. *Love* the inclusion of a schedule, so necessary with a party, and the clocks really call it out. Nice job!
Would be lovely if we could have a "pages" version too, the spread doesn't print right for me.
This is a beautiful little zine with excellent art. The writing is very good throughout, although the reader has to read through the whole thing to discover how to cure the king, and after several readings I'm not sure where it says the garden is the king's dreamscape? But I think it is. The layout is very clear, and really the map is so good you could almost improvise from it alone. Excellent, excellent, flavourful art including NPC portraits, really lovely.
One tiny niggle, printed at A5 some of the text is so small (like the small descriptions of King Nansemond/Julius/Pat/Gale that I think I couldn't really read it at the table.
Still a beautiful piece of work! Thank you so much! It's going in my games file.
The theme of a cursed jungle is very well realised and perfect Appendix N material. The writing is very clear and it’s easy to familiarize yourself with what promises to be a fun session. The layout adds to that - even the header fonts are hybridized without lacking clarity. Especially the layout of the micro system is really clean. The art is minimal but adds color. I feel it would not be difficult to run as .
For the jam, I didn’t look at or download the additional material.
In summary: how the hell did this get on a single page?!? Instant follow and I won’t be surprised if it wins. Incredible job.
