Cool idea! I love the Lovecraftian vibes. I might recommend, on a spread like this, not stretching the text all the way across the page. At least for my ADD addled brain it makes it tricky to read. I also quite like the art, it’s suitably dreary and really evocative of being deep underwater.

Thanks for the feedback!

I was experimenting with the layout because... well... Mork Borg, but I can see your point on there. I am glad that you liked the imagery; they are just some images I found on Old Book Illustrations that I edited in GIMP, but I'm happy with the results.

Absolutely, Mork Borg's style definitely lends itself to experimentation :) Old Book Illustrations is such a good resource, I've found a lot of cool stuff there.

I love it! Super creepy, while also fun and (potentially) a little goofy. I love these fishy folk

Thanks! Glad to see you enjoyed my deranged fish cultists.

I want  a little more... like a table of possible plots of the fish people... just a little more juice. Also... if we can re-name the chanter monster something else, that would be fab.,

I agree that I should have done more in terms of content. Unfortunately, poor time management and things going on IRL put paid to that.

Also I chose half of the names at about 10 in the evening, so yeah, could have picked better.

No worries. I feel the crunch.

So I forgot to upload the file for the game. To the people who looked this entry before I uploaded the PDF, I'm sorry I just seem to be having one of those weeks.
