Super gripping module with some snappy visual design.
Other than maybe using some cover art depicting the Widows or some specks of ash for texture, I actually would be strangely happy without additional art in this. Everything was right where you’d want it to be. The use of the page headers/footers to quickly indicate what is below was brilliant, though would probably be better leveraged for a much longer work.
This entry doesn't seem to be using the assigned title: "Covenant of Ash and Sorrow"
I'm looking through my messages to see if a deviation was requested, but if not I'm sorry to say I may to have to disqualify this entry for not following the rules of the jam.
Thinking best intent, I wonder if they just misinterpreted “use and reflect the title.” The designer did at least explicitly state in the module that it was for “assigned theme: Covenant of Ash and Sorrow.” Understandable if dq’d but stinks because this is actually pretty darn solid.
Yeah, I think you're probably right that it was just confusion on the writers part. But I still may need to disqualify it from prizes.
Very elegant design for the layout. Easy to read, easy to follow and easy on the eyes.
You layout here is super-slick: palette, fonts, spacing, the lot. Really nicely put together. Strong theme and evocative prose too. Very well done.
Looming dread indeed! This definitely has a mood, and I quite like the clean layout!
A few favorite things:
I would love an example or two of how the Beneath might manifest!
"fine as flour, warm as a held hand." Nice!
