Everything in this adventure is amazing. Pulpy in a very 2k waty. The wacky pomo palette is chef's kiss. Location runs wonderfully, clever, curious player will love this 

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! Happy that you like it

Submitted

This is a delightfully unexpected take on the title and it works so well. It's written like someone who's had their fair share of 3D printing woes. The workshop is cleverly designed with it's own internal history and logic. There's a body horror element that can be dialed from weird to terrifying depending on the group. The art, color, and layout all work so well together. Excellent work.

One point to consider: because this deals with a possible sensitive topic (miscarriage, neonatal death) consider a content warning on the itch page.

Developer

Appreciate your kind words! And thank you for the idea, that's a great one. 

Submitted

I love the set of 3 color pallete choices, cool map to check out and a perfect addition to mausritter or any osr games that would fit this style.

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I found that I work best with limited color palette. I never imagined it run on mausritter, but totally possible with a few tweaks

Submitted

that’s why system agnostic adventures works well in both ways based upon what ttrpgs work so well.  Plus using 2 or 3  colors goes well with it.

Submitted

This adventure looks like a ton of fun. Great color palette and fantastic map!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I do hope people will have fun playing it

Submitted

Love this! Vibrant color choices, and yet another banger of an isometric map from Cita!

This one has a lot of heart, and downright creepy implications, that combine into a weird mess of the best kind. Very glad this one is system-neutral, because I have a feeling this one will be finding its way onto a lot of tables!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much! I had to write the first idea I got since it seemed appropriate for the jam, so I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for the shout-out on bluesky as well!

Submitted

Lovely choice of colors, great art, and I could see players have quite deep philosophical discussions when they start to figure out what’s really happening!

Developer(+1)

Thank you! I too am curious on how the players would react

Submitted

Amazing cover, great writing, really weird (in the best way possible).

Developer

thank you so much!

Submitted

This is delightfully weird! The kind where depending how the GM could set either a wacky atmosphere or a scary one (or both). Awesome map too btw, it’s so detailed it’s going to help running this immensely! 

Developer

Thank you! One of these days I will make you run something for us for real

Submitted(+1)

Beautifully done! The design and artwork really oozes character, i love the general vibe you've made here, it reminds me a lot of one those Adventure Time episodes where it's more on the creepy serious side

Developer

Thank you! Your kind words mean a lot 😄

Submitted

the art and design are superb, I could imagine the players' reaction when they realized what's what

also somehow the situation of the lich felt a bit personal(?) hahaha

Developer

Thank you! Unmaintained 3d machine felt too close to home? 😂😂😂

Submitted

This is so cool. A funny idea taken to horrifying logical ends! I LOVE the twist and I wish I could be a player who has no idea what's coming, I'd love to run this for my group >:)

Developer

Thank you! Please share stories if you do run it!

Submitted

I love how weird and funny it is, but if I take a step back and think it through, the setting is quite scary and the fate of the frayed people are horrific. I love the writing and the way you write this, it have a distinct character and it oozes with the personality of you as the writer. I also like that the ending can be so wild and chaotic and it is up to the player to decide the end result.

Developer

Thank you for the in-depth review and lovely compliments! Happy that you recognize the scary part 😂

Submitted(+1)

To me, this is a horror story. Not only in how scarily amazing work this is, but how scary the implications of some things are! I will run some horror system with this.

Developer

i intentionally make it flexible for both silly + fun and existential horror, happy that you notice the horror implications!

Submitted

I can imagine myself dropping the portal in the middle of a campaign to create a short adventure for the players. The miniaturized worlds are perfect for a GM to set up foreshadowing narratives. The art and design are amazing!

Developer

thank you! having a GM using it in a campaign would be awesome

Submitted(+1)

A part of me regrets reading this cuz that means now I can never experience being a player who knows nothing about this adventure, slowly figuring things out through the course of the game, and having my mind blown at the reveals in the end. Every environmental element is so intriguing, too. What an enviable idea, and the art is of course stellar as usual! Amazing work, you should be incredibly proud!!! Buy yourself something nice or make your husband do it for you!!!!

Developer

thank you <333 i wish i can run it for you

i will show him this comment and ask him to treat me because he said he's proud of me too 

Submitted

That map is wonderful, as is the cover.

Developer

thank you so much!

Submitted

I would love to venture into that printed world. 

Developer(+1)

be careful what you wish for

Submitted

Cool concept, the room with the glass domes is very interesting. Also there is a mole called Resetti hiding somewhere, reminds me of Mr. Resetti from Animal Crossing.

Developer(+1)

thank you! as for resetti, the module might or might not be his prequel backstory

Submitted

The surprise reveal about the true nature of one player character is so nice!

Developer

thanks! the offer for reprint sounds nice but the lich might not say the entire truth

Submitted

Love the art and the premise. Never in my life I've imagined a lich with 3d printer, and you managed to write it beautifully as well. Love it

Developer

thank you! the lich is pleased that you think he's beautiful
