I love the hand-drawn maps.  They give the adventure a lot of character.

YT LIVE REVIEW 4:16:35 

There are some GREAT bones here. The map is fantastic and inked it would shine even more!

I like the inspiration and after the game jam. This diserves a second pass to set up this trilogy for a fun time.

It was 16 pages, I know it was a smaller size but this is a lot of content.

Hand drawn maps look great! But with an 8-page limit, why not submit two modules?

Hindsight is 20/20, I could have spaced things out a bit more and submitted two submissions, but I didn't want to leave an incomplete adventure by only having 1 being eligible. The hand drawn map was out of necessity, I didn't know about free map tool options and there was a time crunch.

Honestly, the hand drawn maps were excellent! Detailed and intricate.

This is quite the double-cheeseburger of an adventure! Good work! I like the hand-drawn maps; your tables are tightly designed and useful.
