Thanks! I appreciate you saying so. I've used this stripped-down version of PbtA for a while now, when impromptu one-shots come up, so I wanted to share it :) as well, it was a good starter project to begin writing for. Though I'd like to make another entry for that Jam that will be original (as possible) instead.

"Try not to get lockjaw" had me sent, lol. And that opening page on lockjaw gave serious Borg-ian vibes.
A treat of a dungeon, it's silly concept opens up into a genuinely dangerous and short crawl. Quick to read, easy to implement, and an obvious way to introduce a magic sword (or two) into a Cairn game. I look forward to trying this at the table (hopefully soon)
So I found your stuff recently, and immediately purchased *everything*, haha. I don't even own OSE or Shadowdark, but the art just spoke to me. Then after getting into the products themselves, I found the elements for the adventures or crawls quite compelling for how I like to create narratives. Thank you!
Besides this game (Mana Meltdown) I purchased the rest in physical form from a nearly local game store. Is there a way to get the digital versions? If not I understand.
I love the concept of Weirdhope contrasted against Grimdark (not that there's anything wrong w/GD). I think it's sorely needed by a lot of ppl today.
The mechanics are simple, based on Mark of the Odd system, it barely takes up a spread to summarize. The tables for generating content is EXTENSIVE. I don't even need to do prep - David Blandy you have valued my time as a GM/person lol.
Lastly, the setting of the seas takes the great Eco Mofos!! ethos to the ocean's, and as a GM I love sea-faring settings. There's so much potential. I hope everyone checks this out and gets the full release next year.
As ppl say in your country: "I say, good show!"
