Excellent entry! The cover art is really slick, and the map is absolutely phenomenal! I feel like I can already see the movie scene of the PCs finding the blueprints, scribbling on it, and planning their ill-fated escape.

The whole adventure, horribly fantastic as it was, has such a realistic texture to it all that was very well executed. Also always nice to read an entry where the foolishly greedy & exploitative get their just rewards.

Extremely well executed great adventure. A joy to look at!

super cool!

Excellent module.  I can only repeat what the previous commenters have already said. This entry more than deserves all the praise it has received. I want to run this.

Submitted

Excellent design and art.  A fun scenario with great horror elements and a comprehensive suite of gameplay mechanics like a doom clock. This is a very polished piece of work. 

Submitted

Very nice visual design that doesn't sacrifice usability. I like the doom clock mechanism too. Imo DMs love having novel, but easy-to-follow systems like this. I think your cover image is the most professional looking one in the whole jam.

Super solid adventure, I love it! You integrated your art and type beautifully without sacrificing readability. I love your font choice, the notes on the map, the distress and the slight yellowing on the interior… no notes. It’s also just super gameable and on-theme for horror.

Submitted

I’m so impressed by this entry. The layout and visual design are top-notch. The location itself is a fantastic execution of a haunted manor and exactly the sort of thing I’d grab for introducing folks to Liminal Horror. Full marks!

Submitted

Can't sing the praises of this one enough! Great illustration, map, resonant artifacts, encounters, and pulp.

Submitted

Excellent. This is like a Resident Evil RPG.  So creepy.  Well done!

Submitted

Very good graphic design. It's a bit like a contemporary dungeon - to the point that maybe the PCs need a reason to just not fly away at the first sign of horror? (I don't know Liminal Horror extremely well). As for the "why you're here" table, is it the same for all the group or is it possible to have different motives and starting points for each PC? (it could be fun).

Super-fun! The theme comes through really well, every room has something interesting in it, and the items are rad! I love the scenario and the consequences of the adventure

I'd be curious to see some way that the players couldn't just immediately turn around and leave as soon as they get there, but that's a pretty minor quibble. That being said though, I really like all the different hooks and how some of them give you alternative starting-points

Submitted

Extremely fun!! Needs a little bit of editing, some typos and confusing bits here and there. But the vibes are great, and it looks beautiful. I think this would be a blast to run.

The map was a little confusing, the order of the room keying didn't make a ton of sense to me. For modern-ish house/mansion based adventures, I always wish folks would just base them off actual architecture so the rooms make sense. 

Overall I loved reading this, the illustration is killer and the design is slick!

Submitted

Excellent layout, fonts & art, and very dense with pulpy, playable text! Screw all these rich old bastards, I’m glad they got turned into wretches…

Submitted

Top notch visuals and very engaging writing! Definitely would like to try this one! 

Submitted

A+ entry, with particularly good visual design. Really makes me want to play Liminal Horror! I don't know much about the system, but I get the feeling that this is a really well-fleshed-out, fully prepared scenario.

Submitted

Great art and simple but effective layout.

Submitted

I love the cover! and the map is very simple yet cool!
