pulp s&s vibes defined. This is a Kull short story made rpg scenario, pure and simple. And a good one too

What an incredibly thematic adventure that just oozes Sword & Sorcery. I love the framing as the retelling of an adventure that already happened. The enemy choices are cohesive and allow for a touch of faction play. Using basalt throughout a HEX map is *chef's kiss*. The implied lore tells its own story too. A hex and a dungeon in tight quarters and neither feels like it got short shrift. By Crom, this submission is the work of a sorcerer!

Take a look at the keying for dungeon room 5. I think there's text hiding behind the room description.

one of the highlights of the jam for me! first, i love conan. second, i prefer minimalist layouts like yours. art itself, and the green tones really enhanced the adventure. but i have a few critical notes:

• on the first page, map hexes don't fit the inside key (D and E)
• on the island encounters table, i cannot tell if it's meant to be 1d6, or 1d10 with 7-10 being "no encounter" results
• looks like room 5's read-aloud text box covers text below
• little disappointed that this is not written for Barbarians of Lemuria (ok this is mostly a joke)

This is straight up just a Conan adventure! It rules! So first off: Great JOB!

Everyone else pointed out a lot of the good stuff but I wanted to commend  how good the encounters were. They are both evocative and impart important information to the players. Just phenomenal environmental storytelling all around basically. I received a critique   on my  random encounter table for my game so I've been thinking about that more and you ACED it.  

I think  a  few details  got mixed up in final editing, I.E.  the previously  mentioned Hex D  and E,  but  also at some point there is a  reference to  a "transformed  stygian"  which I  would  guess from context  is the  same  as  a  "scaled stygian" but  I wasn't  sure if that was intentional or not.  

Finally, amazing job working in the mechanics of BSH. All of the  stuff that triggers off of Doom understand  the mechanic perfectly,  and I thought there were several clever uses of usage die as well! I almost designed for Black Sword Hack for my adventure and I'm kind of kicking myself reading over yours! Oh well! 

This kicks ass, with an appropriate heavy metal backing track as it does so!

Great art, colors, & layout! I think labeling of hex D & E got swapped somewhere along the way, but everything else makes it clear which one is which. Incredibly on-theme, well-written, phenomenal loot, and oh so dangerous! An easy contender for finalist, in my view.

Probably the most on-theme entry I’ve read. You use motif really well throughout, and you make a lot of intelligent design decisions which seem extremely old-school, like save versus death & a massive gold idol being the final treasure, which of course collapses the dungeon if you remove it. I might rate this the most Appendix entry, period; you have the spirit!
