This is a solid little adventure and romp through a town fair gone wrong. I like the idea of meeting important NPCs and getting rumors by playing fare games. The scavenger hunt is a neat idea, but something about the timing seems off to me. I don't know how long it takes to reforge a sword, it just feels like longer than the town's got with zombies and skeletons springing up all over. Good work!

Solid, a little to wordy, in my tast too schematic and mechanical (and railroady) in the end.  A bunch of zombies attacking a fair is a solid pitch, inmy opion here it's  little overdid. A good entry nonetheless.

That’s one small font, we got here.

It’s a solid adventure: a befitting heroic hook, a festival at the start, escalation, lots of random encounters, a scavenger hunt and a boss fight without to much trouble with generec maps one does not need for these affairs.

I don’t quite get the logic of the objects, though… how is a necklace reforged into a sword?!

Thank you!! I appreciate you checking it out!

It is a small font. Its possible that I misjudged proportions and compensated with the font. There might have been some opportunities to edit the text down a bit and keep the font more reasonable in size.

I also guess I missed the opportunity to state that the bluish metal in each of the objects were once his sword, and they needed to be gathered and combined in order to make the sword whole. Not one item can be missed. The cumulative mass of those objects makes for the original mass of the blade.

Loved the writing and the festival vibe of the setup.

I love the way that this is set up to give the PCs a lot of challenges that are not combat, from carnival Games to panicking PCs. The idea really deserves a much larger expanded version where you build up the mechanics of them.

I love your writing. This adventure is very compelling. This is a minor nitpick, but It would be interesting if you labeled whether each of the rumors was true or false. The lack of page numbers made the reading order difficult to discern at first.

There's a lot of cool evocative stuff here, well done. If you had more room a bit more detail on things like the room full of traps would have been cool, but space was limited.

This is really cool! But it needs to be reformatted. Currently the pages are out of order.

Thank you!!
I went with this format as if it was a single A4 sheet double-sided. It would fold down the middle to an A5-sized pamphlet.
Sorry. I didn't think to put that in the description or put numbers on the pages.
