Excellent choices all around! This was my first jam, and it was a fantastic experience. And you've got a really great community going here.

Thank you!
So far, I've only tested it with D&D 5e, which is the system I know best, but I plan to try out others. It should work with most systems, but some will probably be easier to prepare for in terms of readily-available stats for NPCs, monsters, traps, etc.
I'd love to hear what you end up picking and how things go at the con!
This is such a fantastic interpretation of your title! I love the idea of the various fates having an impact on the adventure, and very likely having completely different challenges every time it's played. From those fate tables to the opening poem to all the detail and flavor fit into brief room descriptions, everything's so tight and well-thought-out. Great job!
Thank you for the kind words! Swords and Deviltry was probably my most recent Appendix N read, so it's influence on this project is very likely.
It's always tricky to know how hard to make puzzles/riddles. I've tested this one on a group before and they did alright with it, but I'd be interested to hear how it goes for others. I can definitely lengthen the timer or add extra hints in future updates.
Old cities with layers (literally) of history always make for a cool setting! And the curse that could turn anyone into an undead minion makes for a great adventure. Your use of public domain art is great and your layout is pretty solid. The text itself could use some editing, and I would recommend against justified text, which can create uneven spacing, making reading harder. Otherwise, nice job!
