looks awesome
Thanks! Don't hesitate to grab a copy for free =).
i plan on it! I'm definitely going to run this as soon as i get the chance. i'm moving and i have to finish the campaign im in but then im going to start running a lot of cairn
This is nothing short of incredible. The details on this adventure, the art... I'm really amazed, congrats!
Thank you, so glad you like it!! If you end up using anything from it, please let me know how it went =D. I'd love to play with and expand on this little setting in the future!
I long searched for a module that I would like running for Cairn and I think this is it! Amazing work!
A quick glance reveals a typo or two and a few ambiguities present (what's a Bindywig?) that I suspect will be ironed out with revisions. PDF is also not searchable, but barely a problem for such a compact and evocative adventure, but could contribute to not being able to check if something was referenced previously.
However, nothing I mentioned above made me doubt the project is fully worth the asking price. I hope to see this in print someday!
Thank you for the feedback!! There are definitely meant to be blanks for the GM or players to fill in. What do YOU think a Bindywig is?? I think it's something shadowy, cunning and cruel, that which lives in the ruins of the Burned Village... it *might* let you live, if you can make it laugh or teach it something new!
I definitely hear you about the hyperlinks--I made this with photoshop , laser printer, scissors, tape and glue. I like working kinda analog. Not sure how to make it searchable/add hyperlinks since it's all image files! I'll keep this in mind for the next project.
Perhaps one of these https://jamie-douglas.itch.io/beastie-almanack-vol-1 can be a Bindywig?
Absolutely! Or maybe we'll find out more in Vindle's eventually forthcoming Beastie Almanack Volume 2.
This has fantastic vibes. I love the art and layout, looking forward to reading through it.
Thanks, I really appreciate that!!
