Some of the most evocative writing I have seen in the jam. The items and encounters support the surreal tone so well. Love the cover and the little map!

Love the tension with the Power-Hosts. This seems solid for Cy-Borg and could be used in mothership as well fairly easily. Nice job.

Great hooks and a cohesive, Dark Souls-y vibe.

Spooky vibes oozing off of this and consequences at every turn. It would be fun to play this amid the late November slush. Awesome writing!

I love the map and your short, impressionistic descriptions of the keyed locations. It’s just enough to play with, and really sets up what’s at stake with the Great Boil. Clever presentation overall!

Love the cover map, and I’m terrified of Orrokask’s true form. Trippy!

Excellent work on this. Feels very complete! I think my favorite room is the Water Cavern - giant herons are terrifying and this line made me laugh - “The toads are rubbery and bounce off the walls; aggravators clad in metal armour fare worse”

Love the everything written on the back cover, it sets everything up very nicely! The adventure is like Mothership x Vaults of Vaarn, accessed in a MCC-style whisk-away. I also quite like the symbology for the map. Nice one!

Thanks !

Hey thank you!!

Thank you! Little pics best pics!!

Thank you!

Thank you! The sniper seal is just a bit of gonzo, haha. I ran out of space to explain it, but my headcanon is that the seals have an ancient pact with the Elves, and when the temple was opened they were able to retrieve their special seal guns from the crate under the ice pond.

Awesome variety of skeletons. They cast spells - they ARE spells! Fun stuff. I like the layout, it has jazzy 90’s nostalgia vibes.

A very dreamlike choose-your-own-adventure game. Cool!

Great layout, this feels very playable! Oddly parallel thinking in our dungeons as well…

“I’m with Sybil” says Ron, feeling too itchy for some action to appreciate a comfortable bed tonight. “Under the stars is how we used to do it asea.”

All other things being equal, Ron likes the sound of the Golden Egg.

Roy conned his way on and off ships his whole life. He could sleep tangled in rigging and dream of peaches. But eventually a man has to get something more. So Roy went to the hard dirt in search of treasure. First stop: Brandonsford.

Yep! I'm @rileyadammmson on Discord, Bsky, IG etc

Yep, that was intentional, there is nothing here yet haha

Hey, good idea! I'm not sure how I should do this, given I laid it out in Google Docs. But I'll try some stuff and see what makes sense

Thank you! I plan to playtest it using a Vaults of Vaarn hack :)

That's the beauty of modularity, you can take or leave as much as you like. Thanks for looking!
