I really like the story of a wizard trying to stop his earlier self from doing something. Also—spell tattoos! That is such a great idea.

The art in this one rules, and I cannot express how much I love this collection of locked up ne’er-do-wells! Everyone is charmingly unique. Good stuff!
There are so many ideas in this, it's a little bit overwhelming but also great. I want to know more about everything, particularly Carcenas and the chronomancy. The art is very good, I especially like Ymirlo and Embercina.
A gonzo prison of bizarre proportions, vitalized by prose with a sense of humor and whimsy.
"One plucky spoon has dug a tunnel to the city outside." is maybe my favourite sentence I've read so far this jam.
This is rad - there's so much here, the writing implies a huge world beyond the scope of the module and it really brings everything to life.
This is very imaginative, and I love the presentation—with the little illustrations and the map drawn directly on the paper. You make great, personalized use of the different elements of Cairn for exploration. I also really like that you include the works that inspired you; it’s very helpful for capturing the right tone. If I had to nitpick, the light gray text on the left side of the center pages is a bit too light, but that’s a minor detail. The truth is, I absolutely loved it.
Hey that's so kind thanks! My last module using Cairn I felt wasn't using the system to its full potential so I tried to lean into those signs and environment tables here.
That's a good point on the grey text and I'll add it to my list of post jam tweaks that I'd like to go and do once the voting period is over. Thanks again and good luck in the jam yourself!
This is really creative in terms of the NPCs and general world (chainfolk)!
Who doesn't like chainfolk with fancy hats! Some really lovely detail and charm written in this module - Sir Ribbiton! Awesome that you have put art throughout, the hand drawn art are really endearing. Nice work on the module! 🐸
I was sceptical first as the information is a bit strewn throughout. But having read it all I can totally see giving 3, 4 players a plot hook each, tell them to keep it from the others and let hell break loose.
Strange combination of high fantasy, fairy-tale and diesel punk, what’s not to like about it? :)
Thanks for the kind words! I came up with those 4 prisoners and couldn't figure out which to cut/focus on, so it ended up being pretty crowded in there.
Hadnt thought of the party having different secret missions, in my head it was the gang having a shared goal but I like that idea a lot as a way to create chaos!
I had a great time to be transported into the setting by the writing. Love the premise, and especially the setup! So much lore and world-building implications just from the setup alone. I also like the motivation and hook each setup has, and why we would go this this place. If there’s any plans for the world to be expanded I would glady wait to read it all!
I love the hand made vibe of this. I think even if people don't run the adventure they can still make use of the weird prisoners. Those are always a fun addition to a dungeon.
Excellent layout, love it! The writing is on point and the mood/ theme is awesome.
Very evocative writing, reminiscent of the more psychedelic part of Appendix N. I also love the vibrant, colorful layout.
