Beautiful art and presentation coupled with a science fantasy concept of colossal proportions.

Submitted

Great layout and illustration. Great atmosphere too, and a really amazing premise! 

Submitted

You crushed it with this one. 

Submitted

Spectacular work—not only is the content interesting and in line with the jam's theme, but it's also visually stunning. I also appreciate how clearly you've described the rooms. Of everything I've seen until now, this is by far my favorite. 10/10.

Submitted

This is more or less perfect. The adventure itself is everything it needs to be and the balance between warm, cold, gross, clinical, comes across so well in the writing and the art and just the momentum of the thing. 

Also - standing on the shoulder and seeing three more in the distance? Absolutely wonderful.

Submitted

Fan.
Tastic.

The art in this is breathtaking, and well-presented alongside the words and graphics. I especially love that the sciencey-bits of the science-fantasy genre are presented with their due mysticism ("killing light"). 

It's 5 stars down the line from me!

I don't (yet) know Cairn but if you told me this was the flagship product or the perfect starter scenario - the must have - I would believe you. It can't be blowing hot air to say that this is a near perfect entry. A completely stand alone and fully formed adventure from nose to tail, or toes in the case of the Weaver. 

It's also sold me on the virtues of point crawls given how non-standard the interior space of this adventure is. 

Submitted

Well done! This was a treat to read! Writing, art, layout... All good! 

Submitted

Such great work on this! Bravo!

Submitted

I won't be surprised if this ends up ranked #1. Such a professional, beautiful design with really fun concepts and world-building.

Submitted

Amazing art. This point-crawl really stands out.

Submitted

Wonderful adventure, beautifully written and the art is also beautiful. I love how you make the protector itself also need help from others. Also I love the way that the PCs would uncover what their Titan Protector is bit by bit.

hey hey, 8x a6 pages gang. 

very clean work, has that sort of scavengers reign style swag where a relatively "light" art style is juxtaposed against gruesome topics. love to see it.

- having extra space to credit yourself and the fonts used in the booklet itself is a flex. i see u.

- read this as a .pdf but i appreciate how you set the cover up in a way where if someone were to flip this open they'd immediately get the x-ray version of it. very clever.

- no way this one also has piss in it. same hat.

- okay hear me out, how about instead of three flares, you get two flares. if im playing this with a two player party, that's 6 flares total for 5 rooms explicitly described as dark or infested, which makes them feel like a no-brainer to use frequently. bumping that flare count down a little would make using them feel a little more tense, y'know?

- the double meaning with "which it does with incredible delicacy" is fun. love the thin black crinkly tape in the cranium as well. lot of cool textures going on here.

- on that note: obviously there's the space constraint here to consider, but i would have loved a bit more contrast between the exterior and interior descriptions. those interiors all have lovely wet guts, but i feel like some dry, coarse surface descriptions would go a long way to really emphasize the difference between the two environments and the player's descent into the body. 

great work!

Gravy Press' "Spell of the World-Weavers" is excellent.

It's hard to expand upon my thoughts about this entry because I think it may be perfect. That's not hyperbole. In judging based on the metrics of the game jam, "World-Weavers" is the total package in terms of writing, visual design, gameability, and theme.

Gravy Press, like many others, manages to pack so much into so little space. The layout and art make for an adventure that is visually stunning, incredibly playable, and immediately accessible. The font choices and layout pop amongst the strong visual design elements.

The science-fantasy adventure itself is a point crawl up a massive statue that is filled with challenges, puzzles, and conflict along the way. The use of Cairn to reinforce the themes of combat being something to be avoided due to its great damage helps encourage players to seek out clever solutions to problems. 

Bravo, Gravy Press!

Just wonderful! I want the full setting of this world now. I love the idea of these terraforming giants loose in a world, always making new things. That immediately gives players a good reason to keep adventuring to find what’s new.

Submitted

Artwork and layout are amazing, as is the content. This is a very strong module and surely really fun to play. 

Submitted

I love this piece. Great artwork, the layout works really well made. I highly recommend this one.

Submitted

Great submission. The map/art is amazing!

Submitted

Killer art, great layout, unique feel. Love it!
