This is fucking hilarious. Not only that, the vibes and lore are both very rich. I can see my players having a blast exploring this place.
Information design is good and easy to understand, though the paper texture makes it a bit hard to read. I would also appreciate having a few more details about each location and NPC—I just want this to be longer than 4 A5 pages!
Thanks. That is good advice. I'm looking to expand it.
The maps & sillier tone are great, as is the newspaper-y format and clean layout. Good work!
Thanks!
This is very fun, you've fit so much in to the space! Art is great too.
Thanks!
Whimsy at its best. Very easy read. Great premise. A lot of content. What more could a GM ask for?
Thanks!
A chaotic conflict between ice worshipping yetis and fire elementals. This packs ideas and humour into concise descriptions. I love the clear summary page introducing the factions, kettle (clock) and suggested hook for the players.
Thanks!
I like that you presented this as, like, a newspaper? I really enjoy that diagetic twist. This is a super unique entry. The silly tone feels very in line with the DIY-zine-spirit of the 70s, even though the art isn't trying to mimic a retro style.
Thanks! I gotta tell you even if I wanted to mimic a retro art style from the 70s, I probably couldn't. But was definitely going for a newspaper. I ran the cover art through a filter to mimic old comics on newsprint half tone style.
Seriously silly - like Dr. Seuss or Rankin & Bass. Enjoying the diversified fantasy economy with tourism, mining, sports, etc. In my head canon it was "ounded by Yeti" because they used to own it, and now they (h)ound you for it. Diverting. There are some Appendix N authors like Frederic Brown who've done ironic comedy pieces.
Wow that's high praise. Thanks!
So much fun! The Kettle Meter is inspired.
Thanks!
I don’t have anything to say that they others haven’t — just that you’ve given all the right details to make the scenario and the NPCs easy to run. Very charming!
Thanks!
