Thank you! I've enjoyed your videos!

True, I did add a hook for TNDL hacker collective... for whatever that might look like in the 1970s.

I'm not familiar with The Peripheral and now need to go look it up!  (Did you mean the book or the tv series?)

Thank you! I've had CY_BORG on the brain lately, having recently done a really fun one-shot.

All my other CY_BORG stuff is intended to be linked together so it's easy to play them all in a single campaign. This one is the first that isn't explicitly linked... I probably should have! Time travel solves everything though. :)

Thank you!

Thank you!

Good catch! I'll fix and re-upload this week. Thank you for the kind words!

Thank you! My lack of artistic/drawing skills makes schematic/point maps a very attractive option. :)

Thank you! It's so hard to fit as much as I wanted in just a few pages! A lot had to be cut.

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I added a pile of free community copies! Go grab one while the jam is going on!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words, and I'm so glad my writing can help and encourage participation. Thank you.

Beautiful, clean, legible design as I'd expect from you! :) Fonts were clearly selected with care and go well together. Those capital Ms in Mirror Maze are gorgeous.

Love the adventure itself. Simple idea. Classic dungeon crawl to retrieve a special item. It's very much the kind of thing I feel I could pick up and run for my group as a really fun one-shot. Lots there to help the GM.

Very nice work!

This is very good! Love the masquerade x investigation theme, as well as the overall layout and design. Well done!

Thank you!

Love seeing that Perplexing Ruins art! And the simple point crawl map works really well. Easy to read and use. Each room keyed nicely!

Love the Perplexing Ruins art!

Trifold is best fold. +100 for choosing the trifold pamphlet format! :)

The idea of the Howling Blade taking hosts is interesting. Would be fun to do a play of Jack Harrison's Artefact using that as the inspiration to build a backstory for the blade, and then somehow incorporate that into a campaign including this adventure.

Nice work!

Love the dark fairy tale vibe of this one. Nicely structured, and I always love a hex crawl. Extra points for using some beautiful public domain art on the cover! Well done!

Really like the cover. Interesting way to approach the title too... focusing on one specific area with a rather detailed puzzle to solve. This would be easy to drop into other adventures, I'd think. Nice work!

Side note: I get "There was an error processing a page. There was a problem reading this document (109)." error when opening 'Odin's Prism.pdf' in Adobe Acrobat (current release, Windows). The title page won't load but the other pages do. It also doesn't load properly in Chrome. The Light Mode PDF opens fine with no errors.

Thank you so much! So happy to hear that the other CY_BORG heists are getting some plays too! Thanks!

Glad to see Death in Space represented! I have yet to try an actual game of it, but it seems like a good system.

Also, nice simple map. Easy to read and yet still conveys the sci-fi feeling. Well done!

That cover! Definitely captures the 1970s vibe! Reminds me of the John Carter: The Chessmen of Mars cover from the 1973 Ballatine edition. Used to creep me out as a kid! Well done!

I spy Perplexing Ruins art! Very nice use of it and incorporation into the cover.

+100 points for including Skelectric ("skeleton held together by arcing electricity") and Lectrolich ("sparking with new life"). Hahah.

That map too... it's just gorgeous. You really crushed the assignment when making that!!! Well done.

Really interesting how you took the "fake book" idea and incorporated it into the actual adventure! I hadn't even considered that! You pack a lot into just a few pages and it feels full-featured. Nice work!

Everything you publish is gorgeous and this is no exception. Fantastic work. Love the unique approach to the jam, creating a new system. And not just another "roll d20" system either... one that feels interesting and different. Great work!

Oh wow! Thank you so much!

Love the encounter table with separate entries for each of the five fates. That's a really interesting way to use the title and incorporate it mechanically into the adventure!

That cover is one of my favorites in this jam so far! Fantastic work on all of it - font, colors, composition! The map is really nice too. Compact and functional. Well done!

I like the folk horror vibe of strangers stumbling into an isolated village only to be turned into sacrifices. Good hooks to tie this into an existing campaign too.

I like the simplicity of the side-view map on the cover. Interesting use of zodiac animals, creating a coherent theme throughout. Nice work!

Love the cover, including the choice of muted blue/yellow color palette. Great use of space with it somehow not feeling cramped even packed into just ~3 pages of content. A beautiful design, just as I'd expect from Clayton!

I added a pile of free community copies. Please grab one!

Hi,

Last year I wrote up everything I know about making one-page RPGs at Skeleton Code Machine. It's been quite popular, and I've even taught a class using it at a public library. Covers game design theory (e.g. the kinds of fun), different types of one-page games (e.g. journaling), layout, publishing, and has some tools to help you get started like the Theme-O-Matic. Each chapter has exercises so you can follow along and end with a finished game.

You can read the Make Your Own One-Page RPG series for free here: https://www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/one-page-rpg

Or, if you'd prefer a formatted PDF, you can grab that here: https://exeuntpress.itch.io/one-page-rpg

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I am not currently seeking translations at this time, but when I do I will definitely keep you in mind.
