we need more adventure where animal npc are more than just reskinned humns, and this is one of them

Submitted

The jury's still out on IRL Florida, but I do like Fantasy Florid. This was a fun read with clever little bits of world building and chuckle-inducing NPC/monster descriptions. Lady Geb would be fun to ham up as a GM.

Submitted

I like the cast of cute beastfolk. Even the toads seem somewhat redeemable, I would put one “innocent” into the setting to show that not all toads are bandits. The map is more co fusing than helping as the description give much more detail. I’d say the module could have done without it, another nice art piece and additional text to connect the rooms or one, two NPCs.

I don’t quite get how the setup connects to the boss room… does the manatee birth the spiritual leader?

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. Fair note about the Toadmen. Interesting that you found the map confusing. I'll see what I can do after the votes conclude. In my head, the spiritual leader is a reincarnation situation but I felt I could leave it open to the Game Master.

Nice little dungeon delve that feels quite unique with the salamander folk. I really enjoy the look of Lady Geb! Weird in a whimsical way.

Submitted

What a great cover.

Nice little dungeon, good hook, original setting. Lady Geb is the best.

Submitted

The setting is really cool and the mdoule starts with a classic trope. The locatiosn and adversaries are evocative. The layout feeld a bit cramped, but gets all key information delivered. 

Submitted

Definitely agree with other people in the comments here that the Florida Vibes are great and such a cool thing to see in this Jam. Love the color scheme, the layout and the map! Great work here!

Submitted

Sweet Florida Vibes! I know exactly the part of the state this is set in - Homosassa Springs and the like. Oh, South Florida.

A perfect environmental encounter area. I love what you've done to really differentiate the amphibians from each other - many people lump frogmen and salas all together and it ain't right!

I wish there was more space, because I'd love more information about the plants and smaller wildlife around each area. I appreciate the bold cover design but rue the information compromise it represents. That has been my sign this whole jam that an entry is top tier - it is bursting with ideas that must be explored in a larger form.

Thank you! My inspiration was actually Wekiwa Springs in central Florida but one could fit the adventure into any of Florida's amazing water holes. If you are curious about more Florid, stay tuned to my page as I will be making more adventures.

I love that this is inspired by the real world. I'm not from the US but I can see the references to Florida. Cool NPCs and great layout / art.

Submitted

Great little swamp themed romp that you managed to fit a lot of stuff into. I think that by adding a bit more spacing between the bolded lines under your area description, you will really level up the layout. 

I found two typos on p3 under section 4. Jail and Toad Den. crysal vase instead of crystal, and Lad Geb instead of Lady. 

Developer

Nice catches! I'll update once the voting has concluded :)

Submitted

Great visual design and using Florida is a great pick because of the frogs and swampy areas. 100% fitting for mausritter because of the frogs and sea creatures involved in this adventure.  I love the cover art it feels original from the public domain.

Submitted

Great visual design! You've made very good use of the public assets you've used. I like the Florida setting too; I don't know that much about the region, but you definitely sell it as a fun place for a fantasy riff.

Developer

Thanks! I think Florida often gets a bad rap and unfortunately people like to gloss over its natural beauty. Please check out the state's fantastic parks!

Submitted

Nice layout, and enjoyable concept! Very minor quibble, but even for public domain art it's nice to see who it's by rather than "Dead People"!

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the kind words! I'll update the list of art after the reviews end :) 

Submitted

Ooh, love the idea of being inspired by real-world flora!

Developer

Thank you!
