This is fantastic, I love the map and the setup. Layout is great too and makes excellent use of the space.

This is an adventure that perfectly captures the science-fantasy spirit of Appendix N, feeling like a story straight from Leigh Brackett. The writing is clear and evocative, establishing a great central mystery with the doppelgänger wizards, Malundro and Ordnulam. The layout is clean and highly usable; the pointcrawl map of Umbriel is easy to read, and all the necessary information is presented clearly. The art is also effective, adding to the module's old-school, astronomical feel. Bravo!

Lots of cool science fantasy flavor.  Good premise.  Fine artwork.  I dig the imagery including a diamond as a prosthetic eye and primates with nodules growing on them.

I like that you have presented multiple ways to frame and run this adventure.

Thank you. I figured if it's small, it might as well have some options.

A fantastic adventure with sympathetic factions, all with real aggrievements, and workable solutions. Well done!

I’m especially a fan of the wonderfully keyed map, with the exact right blend of old school charm. Malerie Dash Saturday morning cartoon series when?

Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate the shout out on Bsky as well. I'm not gonna lie, I got a real feeling for a Malerie Dash series when I was doing that write up. I'm tempted.

Loved this! The wizards being a reflection of each other is so cool and the appendix n theming is really strong here. A big yes to CRYSTAL APES in more games please. Great stuff :)
