Sounds like a great plan to me! Have fun and send me tower pics!

Hey, I'm on blue sky if you need to reach out. I just added more. No problem. 

Awesome! 😊

Glad you had a great time with it!

More community copies added!

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm thrilled you've had a good time with the adventure!

Thank you, zerodan!

Okay, now should have the eyeball handout and the old pdf. Thanks for letting me know!

The original PDFs are in the assets zip file in their own folder. I think I might have missed the eyeball handout. I'll get it in there. Let me know how it goes when you run it! 🍻

Puzzle dungeon jam retrospective. Thank you everyone! Submission highlights, a look back at the feedback, and reflecting on the amazing volunteers who helped. TL;DR: I'm committed to looking at all the submissions. The remaining feedback just won't be recorded. I'll reach out to you directly. Cheers!

Amanda P helps me give feedback on PERILS OF THE TOWER WIZARD by Ill Hierophant. The dungeon IS the wizard.

Joseph R. Lewis helps me with feedback for a musical puzzle dungeon: Titansflute by Alex Niederberger. 

The Theif trap by John out west. help from Nick LS Whelan!

Warren D with some super cool ideas and feedback for Forgotten Shrine 01 by David Garrett 

Arnold K helps me give feedback on Outcast Unseelie and the Ooze Between by Jesse Winter. 

You're fine 😁

Thank you for sharing and thank you for participating. Can't wait to read yours 😁 

There is no deadline for participating in the broader ZineMonth event though, to be clear. Just need to fund sometime in February.

Consider participating in ZineMonth! You can clean up and crowdfund/slowfund/just fund your puzzle dungeon. I'm on the zimo discord along with others if you have questions. Doesn't need to be a physical zine print, but that's always fun! 

If you want to use bakerkit to crowdfund, their branded collab event in February (part of zine month) is called Zinetopia. Deadline for submitting projects to zinetopia is December 19. You don't need much. Let me know if you apply and I can give you a reference.

Cheers!

Not sure what you mean by "raw assets." The stuff linked in the resources section is optional. I'll take a plain pdf with default styling if that's what you've got.

I'd be happy to take a look and give feedback. I don't think I specified the entry needed to be worked on exclusively within the time constraints of the jam.  
Even if it's not a puzzle dungeon and you don't submit to the jam, you can hit me up and I'll still take a look. I'm on discord with the name you'd expect. 🍻

Good work!

Feedback for Blue Leprechauns by 1pagedungeons

Of course! Can't wait to see it.

Thread for links to submission feedback vods and streams and discussion of it.

First up: Sven Ghouli's Crypt by Revivify Games

After reading this I've occasionally been just blurting out "SVEN GHOULI!" in my best cheesy dracula voice. They seem like a very fun NPC to run.

I'm excited for Monday. I'm in the puzzle-dungeon-jam channel sharing some links to stuff folks have been working on a bit early 😁

Oooo. I could totally see your skills being useful for a tabletop adventure puzzle dungeon with a sound theme! Can't wait to see what you come up with. 😁

Thank you! Jack Vance wasn't a direct inspiration for this one, but it probably was indirectly. Full list of inspo:

Reefer madness (1936), drugsploitation film

Reefer madness the musical (2005), movie musical

D.A.R.E, (1983-present!?), anti drug campaign

Infinity Train (2019-2021), TV series (RIP)

Yup! I love mini maps with links. No room in my 16 pages though 😭. They'll be in the version released after the post-jam period.

I do fantasize about working with musician "Loot the Body" sometimes. 😁 One day... 

And yes, I did do the old deep dive bumper for B2C. Replaced now, but the new one is certainly catchy by Bobby McElver. 🎶

Laid out well. I could pick this up and run it on the fly, no problem. Nice work.

The architecture is very cool. Lots of ways to get around. Would love to see more done with the transformation theme. Certain areas that require mutations to navigate maybe. Scavenger hunt hook is a good one and will get players excited exploring with they realize they've found what they are looking for. Good stuff.

Characters really feel alive. Wish I had some example insults for the Jester. I'd fail that challenge immediately. Also, I want that obsidian shovel.

Looks like a fun place to explore.

High strangeness and very fun art. Feels like a Saturday morning cartoon.

Colorful in more ways than one! Unique formatting and fun concept for an evening of play. The style takes a bit of getting used to but I think that's part of the charm. I'd run this in keeping with the theme: stream of consciousness and being open to changing things on the fly. Thanks for this.

The floating mirror and the talking chest are amazing! Great situations for memorable play. Good foreshadowing of traps. This would be a fun romp for my group.
