i can see the effort put in the maps, but there is a lot that's not working on the game side. It's to straightforward to be memorable.
Viewing post in Daedalus' Wondrous Works jam comments
It’s a fair comment. The adventure is a fairly straightforward dungeon crawl.
When I got the title, I spent some time on research: reading up on the legends of Daedalus, watching the old Ray Harryhausen movies inspired by Greek legends (Jason and the Argonauts/Clash of the Titans) and I went down a rabbit hole reading the Mazes & Minotaurs RPG. I made a ton of notes but in the end Jeremy and I pulled the actual artwork and writing together over the course of a weekend.
While I’m happy with the thematic references, I agree with you that Daedalus is missing something. I felt more satisfied with last year’s entry (Witchbreed of the Sunken Vale).
I’ve arranged to run Daedalus with a group including several of my Greek friends. On the basis of their experience and feedback, I may do a revised version.
If you would like to give more specific feedback I would be pleased to hear it.
