I love that this module feels very serious and very silly at the same time. The NPCs are zany and memorable and contrast well with the face-off with the king. The sheep farm is definitely my favorite location.

Dance with Danger [Shadowdark]I LOVE these NPCs! Absolutely absurd, delightful, and hilarious!
The hand-drawn map is very charming, and I really liked the public domain art used as well. And you did really well with the karmic, anti-authoritarian theme, too!

Living Idols of the Gloam-WasteThe notable characters remind me of Vermis, but funny. I absolutely vibe with this 🙏

Hunter of the Doomed TemplarLove the karma system and the notable characters looks fun to introduce, especially the "Mbeeee..."

Wolf, Wizard, and Knightthat cover is artistically tasteful, and the notable characters are wonderful

The Anima InscriptionKickass cover. Not sure how "the people requested an election" is a karma, as I imagine that's the first thing someone who fights for democracy would do after seizing power. The whole sheep thing is funny!

When the Earth Sang FireThe sheep's absurd husbandry is so fun and gameable, love it!

The Artificial AlchemistCool-looking cover, functional map, and a zany amalgamation of scenarios! Fun read.
Some favorite ideas:
- Motivation + Karma Pairs
- Sheep-y unhinged, absurdities
- Sticky "designer notes" appended to the docs
A long-winded thought: The payoff aims to be moralizing or subvertive of the character's motivations. If the faceless King is a tyrant, overthrowing him would be just. It doesn't seem that the players need to partake in morally dubious "means" to do so; they could stealthily dethrone the King without harming anyone! The subversion of the character's motives feels like a prank at the end if there's no in-world reason for it to happen. I feel that a stronger payoff would give the Seat the power to fulfill those motivations (power, revenge, wealth, freedom), but that it comes with that Karmic curse. In this scenario, the King could be semi-tragic. Maybe he truly wants another to dethrone him, or he is seen to be suffering because he had his wish fulfilled.
"A marvel of technology, the trebuchet perched at the peak of this 150ft tower could launch a sheep anywhere within 1500 ft radius..." I thought this was hilarious.

The Chimes of UndoingThanks for the lengthy feedback!
I mulled around the for the king for quite sometime, at some point I had the idea that the king was at the same position the player is currently. But ultimately I decided on this scenario though, I think it was a mix of time and space constraint. However, it would be fun to expand the story of the king later on. Thanks for the input..
