I like the art and the mechanics for this type of location! Definitely a nice supplement for running other stuff from the jam.  The Desert Landshark is awesome. I assume you chose to forgo Trick for Notes to save space, although for a bestiary I would prefer it to be closer to the intended form.  A minor layout thing is that the "Desert Landshark" sits a little too close to the Giant art and there are some inconsistencies in the line spacing on some stat blocks.

An in-fiction guide is a great idea. I love the monster art! Has a very old-school, and sketch feel about it.

  • Fire Wisp: "deals a bdeals a Bit of damage" - get rid of the doubles;  Dragon: "somneone" - someone
  • There a lot of extra space to expand on this idea. Use it!

This is one of my favorite entries, I think! This trifold knows exactly what it is and is super accessible to read, visually

Wonderful little bestiary and art.! I like how the writing plays into being a guide for travellers. Sweet!

Very cool and useful! Can never go wrong with a bestiary!

A cute little bestiary with a couple fine ideas on how to translate overland, heat-based dangers, into FatherFog. 

I can see this being a real easy pickup for a Guide that needs it, and/or a springboard proof of concept for a larger zine of ideas. Nice job!
