Great premise! It looks like a very interesting adventure around the bees concept.

Developer

Thanks so much! I figured an insane asylum full of brain-fried wizards in a valley of cybernetic bees was pretty Vancian.

Submitted

Un enexpected turn to a pretty dull prompt, pivoting on a strong vision.  Would play! 

(It's also very well balanced, you will not find anything too much but youl find a lot nonetheless)

That is excellent feedback! Thank you!

Oh yes the bees! Well thought out location with enough material for more than one session. Very imaginative writing. Unique theme. Entries like this are why I love the jam!

Developer

This year has been absolutely amazing, so much good material!

I love the bee theme, it's unique. It's the first time I see bee-based religion and it's intriguing. I love the way you put smoke bomb into the mechanic as well. 

Also I have a suggestion regarding the Speaker Image, it would looks even nicer if the white background is transparent, other than that, it's pretty solid.

Thanks so much!

I was stuck using mobile devices for the creation of this adventure while traveling. For the life of me I couldn't get Sketch to export a transparent image. I will definitely update it to be properly transparent once I am at at PC again. It is solid advice.

Submitted

Can't wait for it to get the updated version, also appreciate the effort, congrats for finishing it with mobile phone 🔥 🔥 🔥.

You had me at BEES. Very fun romp.

There's nothing like having a chance to reenact the bee scene in The Wicker Man on a PC is there? :)

Submitted

Fun fact: I printed it as a booklet but due to the landscape format it came out as a sweet little zine a bit smaller than a postcard and I love it!

I like the whole location and things therein. A party could stumble upon it and wreck their casters :-D

Thanks so much! I love giving my players enough rope to hang themselves with! Especially casters!

This entry is passionate. It commits to the bee theme, and takes it further up a notch. It's grandiose, it's charming. Two random encounter tables and a massive d12 "Lemurian Visions" table gimmick. Descriptions are metal as hell. So weird and awesome that it actually feels like Appendix N. Fantastic job.

Developer

Wow! That is incredible praise. Thank you so much!
