Thank you!

I suppose printing is suggested by the 'zine' format, duh. I have lived too long online.

I would love to add some illustrations too! Time and space were my enemy in terms of getting them done for the jam deadline, but an expanded future edition is certainly possible. Thank you for the kind words!

If I had more pages available to me, I would've loved to do all these things! It's definitely a fair critique, though; I may have bitten off more than the page limit could handle. If I still have the enthusiasm after the jam is over, an expanded version is high on my list. Thank you so much for reading!

Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun putting it together

Thank you so much for such thoughtful and extensive feedback! I agree on basically all counts. It would be nice if there was more space; if I'm still enthused about this thing when the jam is fully over, I can certainly see myself developing an expanded version with more room to breathe and larger font (sorry for your eyes).

Maybe I am naïve -- and it is my first time entering a jam like this/publishing a module pdf -- but it really didn't occur to me that people would print them! I don't own a printer and usually take play/GM notes from pdfs by hand, but concede that I might be the freak in the hobby. Obviously this thing is entirely unsuitable for printing, for a wide range of reasons (there's text boxes outside the bleed margins!), but I didn't see any printy guidelines in the jam rules, so out the window that concern went.

I'm glad you found stuff to like, and thank you for reading! I had a lot of fun putting it together, and reading feedback like this is so helpful and gratifying.

Thank you so much! Depthcrawls are a lot of fun. I'd really recommend checking out Gardens of Ynn or the Stygian Library if you haven't; they're both huge inspirations and great showcases for the procedural shenanigans the form permits.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for reading! It probably is quite sad, yes -- I'm a sucker for a downer ending. If I ever expand this into a larger format, I'd definitely look into adding more rules about recovery from Rapture. Candidly, though, I expect the success rate in this adventure to be relatively low!

Thank you so much, that's very kind! I love the depthcrawl format and think there's so much potential for surprise and delight in there, with some careful table curation.

Thank you so much! I love the depthcrawl format.

Thank you so much!

Really beautiful work, in content and presentation

You're very kind, thank you!

Thank you for taking a look!

Really fun stuff; fiction & mechanics are both laser-focused around the core theme in ways that promise to be juicy and interesting at the table.

Thank you, this means a lot!

Thank you so much!

This rocks; you've nailed the visual design and tone of MB, and the extra mechanics add fun interactivity with the rest of the game's myths in a way that elevates everything (provided your Referee is good at keeping track!).

Hell yes, a fellow depthcrawl author! Really evocative, impactful stuff. Visual design is a little hard to read at points, but I'm a big fan of the way the Gloom is integrated, and you keep a tight hold on the theme.

Love this approach to procedural generation; this is a really tight and well-considered design.

Really fun concept; particularly like how the Malign Hexes will change the Realm during play. And I always love to see a fellow Book of the New Sun liker!

How does one go about requesting a new title? The page says that we can, but not the best way to do so. (In principle I would like to work with what I've got, but that combination of words is a complete soup to me.)

We're interested! We (@giantrobottackler and I) wrote Flood and Flora. Let us know if you need anything from us, and we'll see if I can resist the urge to faff more with the drawings. /jam/mythic-bastionland-jam/rate/3811033

Huge fan of the Seer and the Knight's Passion here -- think they will make for really interesting play choices. Wonderful artwork, too.

Yoo that's such high praise, thank you so much!

Thank you! I also love the Devonian Path so much -- that was a @giantrobottackler special.

Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun with it

Nailed that Lovecraftian crossover vibe -- and the art is gorgeous.

Thank you! And yes, absolutely no AI at all, just a lot of batting ideas around and swearing at my drawing software.
