A few favorite things:
Definitely a fun and runnable little Trail through the fae swamp after pirate treasure! Great work!
A totally playable, whimsical swamp crawl. There are hooks the points can link unto another, but the party can also just stroll through, as (as far as I see) combat is totally optional -as long as you don’t roll the Kelpie. With minimal tweaking this could be a “violence optional” module, which fits the themes, I think.
The presentation could make use of another round of editing to give it a more “game module” language, and the layout needs a bit of love, too (rollable lists, bit every bullet is “1.”), but that nothing that takes from the game and story itself.
Lastly: Maybe it’s the system and I totally underestimate what’s going on, but… after all that hype of a pirate hoard the result are 100 pieces of silver 😳
This was a pleasure to read through! layout and presentation is clean and easy to read, the premise is really fun and could be adapted to other games easily enough (though Peris & Princesses is the perfect fit).
I like how the the gameplay flows and the magic items and curses section is really clever and leans into the theme well. Aside from minor formatting/editing issues which others addressed, I was slightly confused about Lucra's lover and whether they were also dead, as it felt a bit unclear. Aside from that this is a fun, concise adventure, great work!
Dark, melancholic gig on a swamp jazz soundtrack. It's powerfull and well written and make me want to play like NOW, but i must admit half the power of this work comes from seeing a party of princesses in this situation. Chosiung the right gameframe is a relvant part of an author job nevertheless. If nothing else, this adventure made me want to explore P&P and maybe play it.

While I don't know the rules for Perils&Princesses, this adventure is charming, and leaning into the pirate tropes is super fun (the patch would be delightful to play at the table). Just keep an eye out for a few small formatting hiccups, like the numbers on the swamp location table
Thank you so much for your feedback, I appreciate you taking the time to check out my adventure! Also for pointing out the numbers, I was so intent on getting it submitted I totally missed that in the final version, whoops!
This was a good read. A little bittersweet, melancholy. I haven't played Perils & Princesses, but it also seems like a highly translatable adventure. Nice work.
Thanks so much for checking out my adventure and I appreciate the feedback!
