This was unexpected. And great. Graphics is minimal but well suited to the job. Everything else is perfect. This plays by its own rules, but the league is the top tier one.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through my adventure.

Something else entirely, wow! I enjoyed the vibe you've set with this courtroom drama crossed witha soap-like relationship tree. Very happy you included a map, because that brings the focus to the courtroom as location.

I agree with other comments that I'd want some parts more fleshed out, but that's mostly a space constraint thing. I'm interested to see where this goes once you discard the shackles of the 4 A5 page limit.

Thank you for reading through it.

This adventure is both funny and entertaining to try out for a system agnostic courtroom scnario.  good piece

This module made me giggle a lot! I love all the characters, they're all such a vibe. Idk if this is an unpopular opinion, but more modules should include adventure "timetable" if only as a benchmark (not even a suggestion). I'd love to see more information (maybe tables?) about the case as well as stuff that may come up in the prosecution and defense, as well as a little bit more clarity on some parts (such as when "all hell breaks loose"). But this is less of a criticism and more of me being hopeful that you will update the module or even publish an expanded version hehe. Great work!

Developer

thank you for your close reading. Id definitely like to flesh out some parts in the future.

I really enjoy the premise of this! I’ve been reading a lot of Planescape content lately and this feels like a perfect partnership

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yes, I think it would fit a planescape campaign.

One of the funniest entries I’ve seen so far.

Nice layout, some inconsistent spacing, but clear and easy to parse. Lovely map!

Timeline might be a bit strict for a lot of the groups I’ve played with, but do enforce the bureaucratic vibes very well. I’d have loved it if the end result would not be a coin toss, but based on how well the PCs handled the situation.

Very minor nitpick: a d10 table for 9 people? Why not just a list of 9 descriptors?

Thank you for this close reading and critical feedback.

The contrast of the demonic and the mundane is so well executed and the little character details everyone gets brings them all to life and gives so much game to play with. 

Everything fits really nicely together - an NPC's missing item shows up in the hands of another, everyone is either sleeping with,  pining after, or (often justifiably) resentful of someone else in the office, and all the prisoners have some clear reason why the players might want to collaborate with them. The map is great - the use of colour nicely reinforces the contrast between the drab office and the demonic cast that inhabits it. 

Really good, really fun interpretation of the title, a unique entry that stands out by doing something unexpected and really committing to it. Also it's funny! Thats' good, we like that.

This is great. This reminds me of the Dorohedoro series, that mix of a nonchalant, "normal" tone and the madness of hell or magic. I love it! I'm tempted to run it as a "crazy interlude" in an ongoing campaign as a consequence of a player character's death, or even a TPK.

Developer

Oh cool, I didn’t think about that connection but I love it. Definitely let me know your thoughts if you end up running it. Thank you!

What a ride — can't wait to kill a PC now!

Developer

Thanks! I'd hope they could puzzle their way out of it but what's a few TPC among friends?
