Such a trippy and weird dungeon! Great cover that really shows the point crawl! Among my favorites! 5 Stars!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it

Nice and weird little dungeon. Great use of the cover page. I like!

Thank you, friend!

I really enjoyed the art choices for each node on the pointcrawl, and using the cover as the map was a great use of space. The enemies seemed a lil strong, but a time-traveling tyrant called “The Egomancer” is brilliant work. Good job!

Nifty to make the cover a point crawl - that's not too dissimilar looking from some actual vintage paperbacks.  Good use of public domain art.  Easy to grok, not overstuffed.  Thumbs up to the "ego-mancer".

Developer

Hahaha, I just made up a strange term because it seemed appropriate to the genre. Thanks for the kind words.

The cover map is cool. Also liked the idea of playing with shifting time periods.

Developer

I´m glad you liked it!

Reading it, I was getting a classic fantasy vibe until I got to the space truck. Regardless, the premise is quite interesting, with a beautiful layout and good use of the map on the cover.

Thanks for the kind words!

Excellent and weird, very in keeping with Appendix N. I love the map. Lots of unexpected oddities and a sprinkling of humour made this a joy to read. Also, anything with crystals gets top marks from me. Very cool.

Love the cover map, and I’m terrified of Orrokask’s true form. Trippy!

Developer

Thank´s a lot for taking your time to read my adventure!

A superb map with interesting encounters. Love the potential of drawing from different time periods.

Developer

Thanks, man. Glad you liked it!

Really cool crystal-crawl! So fun to read another adventure that’s also a delve within a crystal! The adventure has a lot of cool situations, while leaving the details for the GMs creative mind. I especially love the inclusion of the cowboy and the space trucker.

Man, there is so many adventures that I almost missed yours and I think it´s one of the best I've seen in the jam. I'm running to leave you a review and rate it. Thanks for the kind words!

Thats a really clever use of the cover, nice. This looks like a fun game, the idea of encountering opponents from different eras is definitely an “N” trope, the look of your bad guy is another. I look forward to playing this.

Developer

Thank you very much!

The cover is great. It's a weird dungeon crawl. I'd love to see more NPCs and non-combat encounters.  It could use a few hooks as to why they PCs would go there.

Good job.

Developer(+2)

I don't really care about PC hooks in adventures and I try to build most of the encounters in an old school way, so in most of them you can try to reason with the guys or find alternative ways to pass. I wanted to make some npc minisheets but run out of space. Thanks for your time!

Super creative! Seems like it would be easy to run as well. I really like the cover.

Developer

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Clearly written and creative. My favorite part is having a space trucker as a hireling.

Developer

Space truckers are cool. Thank a lot!

The beautiful cover-as-map is very clever. This adventure really leans into the pulpy, science-fantasy vibe of an Appx. N title. Well done.

Developer

I´m happy you liked it!
