Outstanding work! Match the blend of Ocarina. ItO, and creepy mystery perfectly. As others have noted, the map is brilliant and makes me want to give that a go. A few other minor points:

  • madness specter: the art and description were spot on for this. What came first for you? If the art is from public domain I’d love to know more of that story.
  • font: Thematically it had almost a dreamy feel to the font, which I liked. But the typeface was a little challenging for me to read in color. It was a bit better in bw. Might be a me problem?
  • while impossible to apply to every campaign, perhaps in an extended edition offer a rollable table or two for why characters would enter that you can explicitly tie into the module? I could see some tables struggling to do so without a bit more prompting.

Thank you so much!

I didn't think I would get all these positive comments and feedback and now I feel like I really should expand the module in the future. The idea of adding more tables definitely will be the first I'll do, thanks for the suggestion! As for the font I think I get what you mean, maybe as it is a kinda thin font that makes it harder to read. I actually chose intentionally the thinner version of that font because that's the aesthetic I like but I'll try to use the light or regular one instead of the thin one and see how it looks.

I really like the Madness specter story, thanks for giving me the chance to tell it, haha. I did get most visual material from the public domain, mainly the NYPL Digital Collection and The Public Domain Review. I never really used those sites before but saw them suggested at the jam main page and gave it a try. I needed material for a creature so I looked up "Animals" and found this collection which wast great for me because the pics have a good quality, most animals are in front of a clear background to help me use them more easily and that vintage illustration style really fits the vibe. I was halfway done with the collage when I realized "Oh! All these animals are extinct. That's convenient" and that tied it even better to the death theme. I even considered to add a suggestion (before I ran out of space) to describe the specter as an amalgamation of any extinct animals you like, even made up ones that fit the setting you are running, and the illustration being more as inspo. Kind of like how different variations of "Alebrijes" are in mexican culture.

The process of photobashing the pics was really easy actually, they  all kinda blended together like magic, I think mostly because all of them are illustrated with the same flat perspective. I'm really proud of how it came out and people seem to like it so lemme add the picture to the downloads in case anyone wants to use it for something.
