I think you have something cool here. You've designed this in such a way that it's supposed to be a booklet, but your intro and hooks would be on the back cover. You've got a bunch of really cool stuff here, but the font has made it very difficult to read.

If you were setting out to establish an eighteenth-nineteenth century mood of uneasy gothic doom, mission accomplished.

I liked the concepts and encounters, but I was struggling to read it because of the font.

yeah, totally fair. I was a bit caught up in aesthetics of it that I forgot that people couldn't see the google doc I wrote in.

I think there’s a lot of cool ideas here, and very well fleshed out npcs, and city adventures are always cool and interesting conceptually when dealing with so much that can’t clearly (in a useful context) be defined like a confined dungeon. While the layout certainly fit well with the used book theme, I personally struggled with the cursive, and the brown-on-tan font, but was able to copy the text into a text editor. From a practical running at the table standpoint, a more legible font would make this a lot easier to reference at the table.

I really enjoyed the ideas here, and I think a simple, legible version would let the creativity shine even more.
