Cool and rich of strong ideas

Really love the simple, clean, and extremely warden friendly layout and design here!

Would make for a fun night

Fuck yeah, this is rad as hell! The colors are cool, and space-y, but stand out just enough to make everything legible & well-organized. The writing is punchy, and the complications through each consecutive portal ramp up nicely in both danger & hilarity in equal measure. This seems like a very fun romp to take for a one-shot or less serious campaign (or a light-hearted diversion in an otherwise darker one). Reminds me of Adventure Time or Infinity Train. Phenomenal job!

Okay. Without reading the comments I’m sure you received Preise for the layout and the clearness you explained the somewhat complex scenario.

I will love to put my players i to this, wandering a simple sheep farm and BAM multidimensional space hopping.

I love how much of a fu***r the cat might be :-D

Thank you so much! If you end up using it, I would love to hear about it

Love the concept of this as a response to the title. Looks really nice. I'd dispense with "timeline" and "event triggers" as this info can be gleaned from the reality descriptions themselves, and makes more sense in that context I think - I was initially a bit confused reading those sections but everything made sense when I'd read the whole thing. You have the intro for general background / structure overview anyway.

As written this is a nice length for a single session adventure, but it also feels like it has a lot of potential to be expanded, and would be easy to drop into a campaign pretty much anywhere. I wouldn't hate to see a more overtly aggressive alien threat somewhere, but appreciate there is already plenty going on for a single session. The IMPLACABOT is excellent / horrible and cats and their enmity with the Plesiarch are very pleasing.

Clever layout to visually emphasize the Axe's sweep. Also fun writing for each reality. Very on-themec for the jam, too. I wonder how the players can successfully bring the Axe home or recharge it...oh well, that's the players' problem.

This adventure is cool. I love where you go through dimensions and I like this one shot of the realmspace. Recomend this definatly.

The successive cutting through dimensions is a cool idea and “now only lightly drowned” made me laugh. Wasn’t sure, although either would work, if realmspace was refereed to spelljammer realmspace or just a naming coincidence.

Not an intentional match, was just aiming for that kind of 'fantasy space' term.

Great science-fantasy vibes. I love the rounded text-box layout too, really slick.
