It might look nice and be easier to read if the  format of the pages are like those of the "Golden Ratio Medieval Tomes"?   

A very cool, very inspiring idea.  I hope to see updates to this document for the 2026 DURF Jam (TBA).  The document spotlights only a handful of creatures, but, as the author says, more will come if interest is shown.  I do have a few requests for future editions.  Personally, I wish the page size and orientation was the same as that of DURF Gamebook.  I like the use of the  Blackletter Font, but I wish it was restricted to a few key parts of the format.  The font is fun to read for short titles and sentences, but too complex for entire paragraphs.  I'd like to see simple italics text used for the description which could be presented in quotations as the testimony of the original witness?  The statistical info for use in the game might be better concealed or blended in with the document's layout?  Anyways, a great foundation.  

Creative and, for me,  captures the spirit of the Jam.  Very inspirational.  

I feel you achieved the goals you set for these rules.  

A fun idea in a ittle package. 

Pocket Dagon  is a skills only based game requiring polyhedral dice.  Players portray castaways with amnesia on a deserted island that is lost in time.  

Inspired by
“Dagon” (H P Lovecraft),
“The Most Dangerous Game” (Richard Connell),
The Bourne Identity (2002),
 Lost --TV series (2004),
Kong: Skull Island (2017),
and of course, Gilligan’s Island (1964)

Thank you for replying.  Actually, the previous version of the game using the same name was going to use Pocket Dragon, but this version is its own stand alone game.  The system is completely different.  

I like this game!  I love the art and premise.  Cool that it is a pocket sized game as well.  I look forward to trying this out.  

Cool little side game.  I think "In-between" or Acey-Deucey would be a good game for players to use.  It might be good to have each turn represent 30min. in game time?  That way players not participating will only have to wait for a few hands or can have a side adventure of their own?  My biggest wish is for usage of the back page.  Perhaps a simple game and/or a set of cards (unique or not)?  Overall, though, nice work.

Nice work.  Great presentation.  I know the 2 page limitation didn't allow, but it would be nice to have a variety of characters.  Perhaps with supporting abilities?    

I completely understand and agree.  My own entry is wall-to-wall text and perhaps too intimidating?  
I find my mind wandering back to this game.  It is such an interesting idea.  

I look forward to seeing what you do with this concept.  I think a zine is a good start.

An cool idea. 
Do I understand that players are to create insults during their turn?  If so, I like this idea.  Space restrictions probably wouldn't allow, but it might be fun if each card had a word or two the player had to include in their insult?  

I like this, but I did find some of the descriptors a bit confusing.  I'm wondering if the space might be better used for a random table to expand the description of the clients?   Or maybe 2d6 or 3d6 client descriptions might be used.  Then you could cross out these client names when the price is too high?  

I'm a sucker for a good city game.  
Players could just as easily portray priests.  In fact, one person could play the priest and one could play the affliction making antagonist?  Food for thought.  I encourage you to further develop this. 

Very nice.  I love the idea.  For me, you managed to capture the elements of "The Dig".  One might also lay down the cards in a 3x3 square representing a larger site.  It would allow for greater speculation about the happenings of the past

Your comment sums it up.  I came in a full 4 pages less than expected.  Mario and Mickey were to be in those 4 pages, but time caught me.  I really appreciate the comment. 

Thank you very much for the comment.  

I never considered solo play, but you are right, it is set well for solo play.

Thank you so much!  I really appreciate the comment.  

I love the art work and envy your ability to squeeze the descriptions onto the back.  Keep them coming!

It does.  I've misplaced the booklet, but it has the Surf pages and a few signatures of blank pages so I could experiment with the construction.

Cool.  Thanks!

Bookmarks to Business Cards.  Next will be postage stamps.  lol  
I have a friend that makes leather covered journals and does the Con thing.  He's cool enough to put my bookmarks in each one he sells and to distro them at the Cons.   I figure people are more likely to keep a bookmark over a business card.

Very cool idea.

I look forward to seeing the extended version of this game.  Very cool.  

I was thinking you might make a series of S.H.I.T. adventures, but I'm stuck on the acronym?  Something Happened Inside Town (SHIT)?   Just a 5am thought before sleeping.  lol.  Have a pleasant day

Cool idea.  Great visuals and a clean look.  I like it a lot.

This is fantastic.  Best part?  THe Pacman ghost in the middle.  :D  

Cool.  You've inspired me. 

A very sincere thank you!  I was not completely happy with my choice of fonts so I used italics, but yeah, that will be in the updated adventure with color graphics and more concise text.  This was my first Jam and your words are very encouraging.   

Good job.  I applaud your formatting of the monster stat blocks.  Much easier to read. 

Wait until the Post-Jam update.  Now with 33%more fun and color artwork to boot!

A nicely realized adventure.  Very clean layout and a quick, easy read.  

In addition to a good tale, very nicely laid out and with great mood-setting artwork.  I look forward to seeing more adventures from you.  

Excellent and thank you.  I'm looking to optimize the game for usage.  Please feel free to give feedback again after game play.
