A pleasant and clever twist from the second floor onwards. It was already interesting and then it dove headfirst into Appendix N. I loved the art of the Acropolis.

Clear-cut look, not over-stuffed.  A high point for me are the monsters - and of course that novel ooze would turn into the appropriate treasure.

I like it! The layout is super clean & the color theme is fascinating. The only thing I had trouble visualizing was the verticality & the illusory stairs in area 6. I think an isometric map would be great for this adventure, but I recognize that might be beyond the 4 page limit.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I've been thinking about what to add to an expanded version after some more playtesting, and a better illustration of the stair/well/false statue is getting added to the top of that list.

Easy to run straightforward dungeon crawl. Would like to have some NPCs in it.  

Good job.

Thanks for the feedback! Agreed that some factions would help round out the dungeon, that's something I'd love to add to an expanded version (maybe priests & mutated captives at war within the dungeon?)

Nice work, this slaps.

This is great! Really clear layout, great appx N vibes. Honestly, pretty brutal for a low-level dungeon (possible no-save collapse tpk after 4 rounds!?) and I am here for it. Really dig the mutations table. Solid work!

Developer

Thanks so much for the feedback, very kind of you! It certainly could be brutal if the dice come up hard against the players, but with a 1:6 chance of an encounter per turn and a fairly small dungeon to escape through hopefully they should have enough time to escape if they don't get distracted/greedy. And thanks for the love on the mutation table, I really had to make some tough cuts to other content to fit it in, but I just love to cram as many random tables as possible into an adventure, even at 4 half-pages!

oo super fun idea, I enjoy all of the connections to color and light, how reality has basically been refracted through this Prism which is creating the illusions! Enjoy the layout as well :)

Developer

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the kind feedback! Glad the theme/vibe came through as strongly as I was envisioning it!
