The hand drawn art is wonderful. The Prophet is a truly terrifying creature and situation, and the new take on Goblins is refreshing, and yet feels familiar. Works well. And good work incorporating an area map and a dungeon based part of the adventure.

My favourite parts are the implied locations, people, and religions revealed by some defy and understated world building. The prophet was enjoyably gruesome. Nice one.

Color me quizzical.  I'm fond of this quality package - I find it both quaint and esoteric.  Lots of ideas here.

Thank you for neutral aligned goblins. I am amazed you fit a region map and a dungeon in 4 pages. Really well done and I happily run since goblins through this module!

nice art and layout. Captures the spirit of a pulp fantasy adventure. Not to mention this would work for a Mausritter adventure. You got some pretty good encounters that would work!

First off, fantastic art- loved the curved map!

Secondly, this is fantastically gruesome lil adventure. I presume that since you’re there to do business with them on behalf of the Wizard, that the Toads aren’t initially hostile towards you- adding a fun morality test for the PCs should they discover the true nature of the location. Great job!

Lastly, Persh, eh? Glad to see her life wasn’t a one-off and her Moon persists outside of that last module we worked on!

What can I say? I'm a romantic, and I love the idea of settings with lots of moons.

Great little adventure. Love the hand drawn maps. Feels ripped right out of the Appendix. Nice work.

This is really good – captures the pulp S&S feel beautifully. I also like the way the key entries are written.

Really nice, I can see my players going to see the prophet for some answers and then finding out just what the life of a prophet is!
