Really love the design (narrative + graphic) of the science-fantasy spires.
solid sci fantasy entry, with all the irony of the case well adjusted
First thought in my mind: “Remember Alf? He’s back - in POG form!” Second thought is that he’s a bit more sweaty and touchy than I remembered :D
I really enjoy the weird fantasy aspects of it: The cultists, the alien that accidentally activated the jetpack and slammed on the ceiling, the fact that the whole thing is a spaceship. Nice visuals, good layout design, and lovely map!
One thing I didn’t get is the difference between Shendu and Shabu. Still not sure if it’s a typo or I’m missing something.
It’s a typo! didn’t manage to catch it before the deadline unfortunately
Very nice layout & a charming map to boot! Loved how weird this one is, and the sun cultists, but it is a shame the Alfs seems so utterly boned lol. This maybe could’ve used another pass at editing, but overall it’s a fun lil adventure. Good job!
Yeah an edited version is in the pipeline but wanted to wait until the voting period is over. Anything specific you'd like to see from the Alfs?
Same problem with my entry lol
Nothing in particular! It sounds like the ship, if recalled, is totally empty & that the Alfs were unsuccessful in their quest for survival. I just got sad for them. I imagine that if they were to return, with their tech, they’d be a rather formidable Faction for any campaign, though!
The map! The Fold! The cover! It's pretty perfect. Well done.
1pagedungeons is an expert in small form factor adventures, and that experience shines in this entry. They understood the assignment, blending old school fantasy and science faction with a masterclass in tight, site-based adventure design.
A quad-fold is a format that I’ve never seen before, but it has amazing conceptual symmetry with the adventure. I genuinely never would have thought of that, and I consider myself a person who is good at coming up with stuff!
This creator is someone to watch.
This looks great and looks very playable. As someone who also did a vertical map... Love it!
Really love how the module is folded! It’s really creative and the way it’s presented feel holy and majestic (opening up into a spire? Sickkk) I also love the writing and the flavour texts. It really set the mood and the atmosphere for the adventure. Despite the typo, it’s a great adventure for cairn!
Fantastic module, very Appendix N! Very table-friendly arrangement of the map and location description too.
Very interesting location. I love people have forgotten what the spires were combing sci fi and fantasy. Great job.
Very cool submission. Well-written and detailed enough to feels pretty easy to run it without much extra work. I think you definitely hit the thematic elements, combining an adventure structure that feels like it would tend to be in the fantasy genre (visit long lost ruins currently infested by a cult) and wrapping a nice Scifi / post apocalyptic bow around it. I'm also getting just the slightest hint of Chronicles of Riddick as I read it, which I"m a big fan of.
I'm not super familiar with Cairn, so I won't comment on the playability within that system, but it feels like it's detailed enough that I trust that you've got all that in hand.
The visual elements are really good, particularly the second page.
Very cool submission.
Love the design!
Looks great, oozing with vibes.
Small inconsistensy: is it Shabu or Shandu?
Shandu! Found out about the mistake too late, didn't want to change it during the rating process.
I like the mix of sci-fantasy and the desert setting. I think the adventure is pretty versatile—it can be used as a standalone adventure or as the start of a pretty crazy campaign. Great job!
This looks amazing. Visuals are so flavorful map and layout, and I love how related everything is.
