This is a very cool piece with a lot of great ideas. However, I'm going to have to disqualify it from audience pick as it is a monster generator and not a module.

Hi! First thing first, I wanted to say that I really liked the idea of a beast generator and that the arts for both the cover and the inside pages are loveful. The tables are really flavourful and cool and it seems like something fun to get a quick random miniboss.
That said, I think there is space for some improvement and for some more content, as the pages felt a little empty to me (that's just my personal opinion obviously) and the few options on some table may be expanded. I also believe the mix of the texture on the pages, the colour of the text and the font used makes this entry a little too hard to read. Overall I like this entry and hope you take the feedback as a constructive one!
A beast generator is a really cool concept for this Jam. There's some great stuff in here and the cover is great! My old eyes would benefit from a slightly bolder font, but that's ok. I did spot a typo in the first page, it reads "spoken off in tales". You just have an extra F in "of". Great addition to the jam though! Thank you for submitting this!
Great art and layout! Aslo a lot of cool ideas for monsters.
'WARE THE MOONFANG! A white serpent, that has survived countless attempts to kill it, because it possesses uncanny intelligence. Everyone knows it can command storms with the changing of the seasons.
That was a nice diversion. I think some of the tables need to be longer lest you run out of names.
You definitely want to optimize your PDF. It went from 27MB to 2.8 for me.
My Beast:
- Original Beast: A Great Wolf
- What Actually Happened: Its enormous skeleton was later discovered
- Its Story Grows: It possesses uncanny intelligence
- Now Everyone "Knows": It devours souls as well as flesh
- The beast comes to represent: Lost civilizations
- Name: The Iron Hide
Overall, I like the tool and think it's interesting. I like how you structure the myth creation piece. I think if you were to add more options, you could expand the "The Story Grows", "Now Everyone Knows" and Name tables to include more options and maybe have players roll twice on the "The Story Grows" and "Now Everyone Knows" tables to bake in the natural tendency to exaggerate the myth. You could even specify that the one roll is true and the other is false.
I do feel like the use case is a little bit limited in long form games, as you'll probably start rolling duplicates after a small number of beasts. I love this as a one shot ideation tool though.
Neat. Would've preferred larger, more legible text.
Excellent beast generator, a great supplementary material! I would love to see more tables perhaps. This has quite the potential. Good work!
