Rackham rocks. Crazy clever content including but by no means not limited to: gryphon pellets, holy willow arrows and panthers with human faces. Nice presentation too, like the colors for example. I can feel the Dunsany wing of Appendix N here.
Great art & layout on this one, perfectly capturing the earthy, haunted forest tone of the title! Every bit of this oozes creepy & strongly adheres to the same fey theme, from the mesmerized Elves to the flavorful magic items. Great job here, especially the inclusion of the Hodag lol
Love the flavour in this one. Also just the design elements (font, colour choice) in general appealed to me. Great, compelling writing. I love fairy tale adventures. The Bonegrinder Elves make a great faction. Really amazing stuff.
Fun and fae. The cast of characters becomes progressively more unsettling (Elves -> Granny Rose -> the Glutton), and the Hodag is quite a visual for a creature. I love the Holy Willow Arrows and lots of other little details. Great work!
Very lucid and fun with lots of options for extended play. Nice one!
Clearly written and appreciate that this adventure outlines clearly what is happening for the game master at the start of the module. Some cool ideas with the different hexes and like the array of treasures thats provided at the back. Nice work!
I thought this was excellent. Your encounters chart made the weirwood feel real. Clean hex map. Can't go wrong with a Hodag hiding in the woods.
I love the tone and atmosphere you've set for the Weirwood; complete with great encounters, interesting locales, and fitting treasures.
Here's what I got from proofreading the document:
OMG thank you so much. Gonna tune this now. You're a lifesaver!
Iso-hex, a ton of magic items and a clean layout. Plus interesting adversaries. Nice one.
Excellent. I like the hexes and there's just the right amount of info provided. I can see this adventure working well. And the situation, and creatures/characters are truly terrifying and somehow a bit whimsical, too. Awesome job!
All the treasures are so unique! I know as a player I would love to receive any of these haha. Definitely a dangerous hex crawl but seems so fun!
Thank you! I'm glad it came across as evocative. Hope you enjoy
Love the dark fairy tale vibe of this one. Nicely structured, and I always love a hex crawl. Extra points for using some beautiful public domain art on the cover! Well done!
Thanks so much!
This is VERY good. Great adventure, fantastic font choice! love it!
That's high praise! I was very inspired by JJJ in my layout - thanks for making such a great one as well.
Gotta love the Hodag! Awesome creepy forest adventure. So much stuff to play with.
Thank you so much!
Enjoyed this! Creepy stuff which fit the theme well I thought. Liked Granny Rose seeing through nearby creatures but turning their eyes green, thought that was a great touch. Liked the map too, river and ford details were great. Good luck in the Jam :)
thanks so much!
