vibes are powerfull and very emotional. There is a lot of possible imprevements to be done in gameability and exploration liberty

Very cool vibe, and the art style is very charming and fits the atmosphere. Fun interpretation of the title, good job!

Hornton is surprising delight in a town name. I also found myself disarmed by how much I liked the art style you went with - it's very cool contrasted with the bold layout format. I think the writing is very evocative if sometimes confusing. I think the font used for the body of the descriptions was a little hard to read, but was worth the effort.  I liked the design of the module but found myself wanting more of a reason or urgency for the players to be there or to interact with things. I love the cauldron, I immediately marked it as something for the players to experiment with!

I love the surreal touch of the locations, but the text is hard to read. Maybe they could have made the map smaller and used the space to give the text more breathing room. In any case, I think it’s a good adventure.

Very imaginative!

Echoing issues with the font, great choice for headers, not so much for the body paragraphs.

I struggled a little to read the font, but otherwise the art is brilliant, the map was exceptional and I loved the setting.

Yeah, this has the 'sauce'.

Really well implemented minimalist layout, I love how you used the black background for the keys and flavour text. It hits the pulpy Appendix N. itch, I could easily shift it into other systems, but feels right at home in Mythic Bastionland.

The black text  for the room keys does feel slightly to small, or perhaps the line height is a bit too narrow? It makes it slightly hard to read,  a slightly less weighty font for that text or a larger font size with a bit more spacing between each line would make it more legible (not sure if your chosen font has a 'light' version). Can't wait to run this!

Great use of negative space and minimalist layout. I loved the adventure and map!

Nice, playfully sad fairy land here! It strikes a consistent tone and has excellent fey trappings.

A few favorite things:

  • That the gold of the menhirs can be scraped at the cost of their latent magic
  • The sketchy style of the cover and map
  • Lyrical writing (e.g.,  "ragged shadow", "galloping curtains of smoke")

The bullets in Area 9 initially read as though the Horned Moth just wants the players to leave the Otherworld, but it made sense when I reached the stat block lore. 

"Eater gives birth to white foal in d6 months." Now that's a proper dark fairy tale resolution!

A melancholic little module. I like the idea and the execution, but the font of the document is really difficult to read (it took me three attempts to decipher “icy” in the first room).
