Gorgeous Gorgeous Gorgeous map! Excellent art and very thematic. I did feel like there was a ton of jargon—I couldn't read two sentences without wanting to look for a reference to explain one of the terms or characters.

It wasn’t any one specific item, but with all the creature names that weren’t super obvious, the acronym (forget what for) and the engram scanner there was a lot of stuff that just wasn’t immediately clear what I was reading about. If it just wasn’t all those at once it wouldn’t have been noticeable but (this is hyperbole) it felt like every proper noun was something I needed to reference somewhere else.
I’m sounding more critical than I intend to be so take this with a grain of salt.
Absolutely love the pointcrawl map! Good visual design, and the weird fantasy vibes are through the roof.

Dance with Danger [Shadowdark]I talked a little about this game on Bsky, but I have to drop a comment here as well. I absolutely love this adventure. the writing is great; brilliant usage of art by Hodag. I simply cannot wait to see what other things you have in the pipeline. This adventure sets my brain abuzz!

Mutants of Catfish HollowAs soon as I opened the pdf, I was stunned; this looks so goddamn cool!
The layout is great (really love the map especially) , the art is nice, the monsters are quite unique, and i would love to see a more fleshed out version of this detailing the other pillars, factions, and important NPC!

Sorrows of the Seventh SonIf this is only the first pillar, I can’t wait to read all 4 of them! Love the adventure, it’s very weird, the theme, the creatures, and the cheeky nuclear insert. Very fun, and it’s very jam packed. Can’t wait to see more expansion of this! (Or more creations from you)

CRATERS OF KERAMEIKOSGreat visuals! Yes, the headings below the text may not have been the best choice, but the overall layout is well thought out. I image it is very easy to use at the table.
