very open ended and explorative. A wet sandbox. A mudbox. A swampbox. Both maps are enthralling. Everything is right here
Open and dynamic adventure with a lot of cool ideas!
What I thought worked well
What I think could be improved
A delightful, toady setting with a lot to do! I don’t know if much could be achieved, but theres a lot to do :)
The information comes a bit disjointed, though. I think the “Peoples and others” section should’ve been a “Background”-section in which the NPCs and going-ons were introduced in a more sorted manner. We read about Stonerose (not bolded the first time), the panther, and Kappa, whoch are introduced much later (I’m not sure if Kappa are ever, those might be a species I’m not familiar with?)
All in alle very cure overwolrd and dungeon always staying on theme :)
A lot of charm and depth in your descriptions especially in the first part with the characters. Good work.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
This seems like such a whimsical adventure through a jungle full of frogs and scholars with no good brothers till you read about the soul stealing and getting turned to stone and the panther right behind you. Good fun! Great work creating a bunch of interesting characters and opportunities for PCs.
Take a look at your overland map, it looks like 7 and 8 have their keys mixed up. Does Sky Dog possess the singing bowl relic at all times? It wasn't clear till a second read that the dungeon has the PC's traversing some of the exposed parts of a massive statue (I know you said that, but it wasn't clear to me the head and hand were connected). Also, Rebo Min and Sitting Uncle get renamed to Rebo Macx (Star Wars?) and Singing Uncle in the encounter table.
Clean layout, this would be straightforward to run. Good work!
Thanks for a thoughtful, positive comment and some things I can fix! Really glad you liked it. Sky Dog has the singing bowl, but yes I should think about adding a location beyond the encounter table too.
I’ll have a look at those fixes when judging for the jam is done!
Really like this one. Great, minimalist cover.
I love the NPCs in this so much. Really cool adventure!
Thanks for reading!

This is great--nice map, though I think "Useable Track" and "Tricky Track" look a little too similar. Really interesting characters to interact with!
Insanely easy to learn and run.
Crisp, clean layout including easy useable maps. The writing is on point.
Thank you so much! It took a bit of fiddling with layout and I’m glad it worked for you 🤘
