The only entry I've read with a flying saucer in it! Cool how you tied this to the brandy production. The NPCs are delineated well and there's lots of scope for interesting roleplaying interactions. Nice job.
That's kind of surprising to me! Rocketships and aliens are all over the early sword & sorcery fiction. But, yeah. I also didn't notice any others in the entries I read.
Great design and a really cool idea with just the right amount of moving parts!
Wonderfully legible layout. The theme, tone, and general description of every NPC here absolutely screams fun! When I saw all the encounters/rumors, and put it together with the truths of the currency/liquor, I immediately got Burke & Hare (2010) vibes. Great job!
Some of my favourite design in the jam so far just for how clean it is. Trifold is also a nice choice. So nice, so clean. Love the tone, and the characters. Well done!
"Oh, this seems like a fun twist on a standard fantasy adv ... A FLYING SAUCER?"
Great zigging when the players will expect zagging. A great way to take an already clever adventure and really elevate it to something unique.
Very fun! You absolutely nail the weird Appendix N vibe, and you laid everything out in a very clear and intuitive way that’d make it easy to pick up and run. Great job!
Picaresque meets science fantasy meets Bastionland. This has a ton of good jammed into a pamphlet. Great layout and the writing is clear and creative. Really nice work.
When I saw the title, I immediately thought of Lord Dunsany's tales. But when I read adventure, what a surprise—a hallucinogenic drink created by distilling the fuel of a Flying Saucer? Brilliant.
You could add two NPCs named Moulder and Scully to get the alien vibe going.
Clearly organized, high in flavor, and a near perfect economy of words. It almost feels like a pulpy cross between the start of Lest Darkness Fall and The Colour Out of Space (since we're speaking in Appendix N terms). This is a strong powder keg setup with the notable people involved, but I would have liked to see a few more proverbial (or literal) buttons and levers for the party to mess with in the "dungeon" itself. The modest usage of graphics is clean and inspiring. Exemplary entry.
Thanks!
I would have liked to scaffold the brandy market and flesh out the dungeon more, but I feel like I didn't have the space to do one without further diminishing the other. Maybe a skill issue on my part! I definitely want to do an expanded zine version of the adventure sometime down the line.
The layout is great—accessible, cohesive, and easy to parse. The prose is equally strong; its evocative and descriptive nature perfectly matches the literary pulp-fiction vibe. Bravo!
I approve of the verbiage.
Super cool adventure with great visual design! I've never played Into the Odd, but this makes me want to look into it.
Really wacky. Such a great inventive mod. Excellent layout.
Great job!
Totally nailed the ItO vibe.
I see Into the Odd, I like. A simple as that lol
On a more serious note, I love the minimalistic approach to the layout and the art, which turns out to be great and perfect for the vibe, and Into the Odd!
This turned out great! kudos!
Booze from space! This all hangs together like a glass of fine ... well you know what I mean!
I really like the cover for this. It's doing a lot with very little.
Yo! Thanks! That means a lot.
That's awesome!
