There is a lot in this, both as content and as front of crisis. Looks like a fun adventure for an educated DM. One of the best crawl in this jam
This is probably the densest work I’ve read thus far and I love it. One on hand, it could really benefit from more room to breathe. For some reason though, I kinda like it feeling a little cramped?
But I do have concerns from a visual design standpoint for information flow. At times I really struggled to figure out whether I should read down the column or across a row, particularly because it changes from page to page. Sometimes things also weren’t where you might expect them to be (e.g. the sword hiding in the bestiary instead of by 12H.)
The maps are on point, and the orange+black is a really perfect color palette for this. Any reason you switch from black to blue for the Shrine map?
An excellent adventure! So many competing Factions & interests, multiple simultaneous crises brewing, 2 usable maps, and so much more crammed into just a few pages! Masterfully done, and also undeniably refreshing to see an entry based on West African mythology, as opposed to more well-trodden fare.
This is a really great adventure, I was surprised by how much content you managed to fit into four pages. The only issue I see is that the different elements are a little crammed together. It would be nice if they had a little more breathing room with some extra white space, but that would mean including less content. Anyway, I loved it.
Cool adventure. Also love the map designs in this adventure.
I think, a lot is already said in the comments. I’ll get a bit technical: one can clearly see you put a lot of effort into the layout. I can feel the battle for every syllable to make page 2 work (and it does). Even though it switches from left-tp-right to three long columns on page 3 the eye does this without any effort due to your whitespaces and such. Very well done.
There are a few errors in this, though (references to other rooms, but the numbers are false, number of creatures in brackets as though they were room numbers). Nothing a reader cannot correct while reading, but in this flawless layout it stands out.
Thanks for the review! I went ahead and uploaded a corrected version
Great layout and maps! All the content was formatted well, allowing for a ton of content per page. The writing was both vivid and super clear and functional. I appreciated that this was a unique adventure compared to many of the others I’ve read. I wish there was more art included, but what are you going to do.
Its the same quality we always see from Silver. Which is to say crazy good, deceptively rich, and just jam packed.
You absolutely packed it in there but somehow made it all enough room, I am seriously impressed. The two maps are awesome, I love the random encounter and traits tables for the dungeon and the number of stat blocks is crazy. Great works!
Love how clean this is. Lots happening hear, but all of the information is crystal clear. Also, it's for Cairn so I can run it soon :) !
Good, clear imaginitive writing! Really nice pointcrawl map, interesting setting and situation.
The layout on the keyed locations page was a little strange, but I didn't have trouble reading it.
Love the setting (west Africa inspired?) this is what I came here for: Different , imaginative, fresh!
Love the dual use cover.
