I was very glad I read this in the morning and not late at night! Well executed, congratulations! When you do prepare a final version, perhaps a content advisory?
Clear, simple and elegant graphic design. I also like how the contrasting factions are clearly portrayed.
And the countdown mechanic that advances as time passes or the players take certain actions is great. It creates a sense of urgency as the spread of the plague accelerates.
This would be great for a game of Mork Borg as well. I really like how the countdown mechanic also lets the GM know what certain NPCs are up to in that hour. That's a sweet detail. I enjoyed reading this!
I dig grim adventures placed at critical times for a group...this feels great for a campaign arc.
It's gritty and dark in an evocative and well-written way. And I think after all these comments, we can say that the time mechanic is great, right? For me, it could easily be expanded into a more structural model for a setting or even a system.
very evocative setting, great layout that is very clear. Very nice maps and descriptions and characters, all of it.
Maybe I missed it but I couldn’t see a reason why a party of adventurers would want to be in such a horrible and plague-ridden place, even if they are invited for dinner. I think the DM will have to give some good motivational hooks for the players.
This is a really high quality adventure and I’d like to run it myself.
Hmm I would use this when the players were on their last legs, maybe fleeing from someplace else. You see smoke rising from a town on the horizon, at last, shelter!
I hope to revisit this module for a print run, adding art. I’ll be sure to add some guidance for the DM with suggestions for hooks to get it to the table
The timer mechanic mechanic looks fun. I like how easy it is to see what's going on in a spot at any given point. I can already see running very different for menu groups.
