I love the color choices on the cover and the maps were all well drawn and clear. I love the name "Whimsywick", it makes me immediately picture a wizard's hat with a burning candle.
I appreciate you breaking up the content, especially on page 2, into concise sections. Its not really a knock against the adventure, and the background information you provided helped, but I felt a bit lost jumping in without having read part 1.
It would be a nice addition to include some descriptions of the NPCs, like Richt and Livian on page 4, though I imagine that's in part 1.

Tandem quests is a marvellous idea, especially for larger west marches style groups. characterful maps and magic items. Fantastic colosseum style backdrop, love it!

Into The Tower of The MagiVery exciting idea! Awesome implimentation with how you go about the dungeon, but we feel a bit lost without some of the context od the first adventure. That being said, read this! Very fun and well thought out.

The Bog's ReckoningNice and clean layout. Really enjoyed the maps. The color scheme matches well with the whole vibe and map colorization. I have heard of tandem quests but never been a part. This has peaked my interest. Great work!

Inception JennyThese competition-type dungeons are nice! And the tandem quest system is an awesome way to gather a large group. Rollerball from 1975 is popping up a lot in my mind in this one, and in a good way.

Wonder MakerTandem quests look like it would be a blast, but I fear the lemonocolypse!

Beauty and The BoxTandem Questing is an idea I've wanted to try for a long time, but didn't have the vocabulary for! It's an insidiously genius idea.

Secret of the Crystal GateThanks for the shout out about the vocab. I was playing around with ideas on what to a call a game played simultaneously and interacts with one another, "Tandem Quest" felt the best to me. I had an instance where I DM'd a 12 person game, and I said "Never again." Next time around I convinced one of the players to DM in tandem, and we made up interactions as we went. I wish I had more time to provide the Opposing Dungeon (which is in the works and being created by my partner DM).
I have little experience with tandem quests, but this looks like fun. I particularly like the interactivity of the traps, portals, and other PCs.
