Well my votes disagreed with many of you it seems. I got some of the top spot games in my top five, but the others were lower in the list for me.

If I am being totally honest, I'm very surprised my entry didn't place.
I would appreciate feedback here or by Geekmail (Chuck's note above is appreciated.) so I can see if I can tweak anything.


I did not vote in a "this is well designed, the math checks out, solid mechanics etc etc" but more in a "how likely am I to grab this and run this when we have a session but nothing clear to play" taking everything into account and just grading it on a combined thing, and then solo/dragon vs apes slides down a bit. So in my case it is quite simply that I am not the target audience for a game like that, I have friends that would run it and I've played in games like these, but they did not come here to vote. 🙂

To score layout, art, mechanics and all those things that would probably be part of a more regular review is a bit too much of an undertaking for reading all the entries and voting. Your game did have a good layout, it was easy to read and understand and even had art, so it only fell on the last bit.

I am a simple man and I don't think I reflect THAT much over staples vs glue, I do reflect more often over how proud/satisfied whoever put it out is over the final product.

Some years ago now, I used to write articles for a football club fanzine. I can't imagine having that perfect bound rather than saddle-stitched. As you say, it just sounds wrong.

This part was the heart of the card from Deck of Encounters Set One that inspired the whole adventure. Everything happened pretty much as written, including the chicken cleaning up in the poker game while the PCs waited for the archmage's arrival. His servant, Catherwood, was lifted from a comedy group called The Firesign Theatre, whose specialty was the record album. Catherwood comes from a parody of 1940s radio called "The Further Adventures of Nick Danger," which took up side two of the album "How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All?" Both players were familiar with this, so I couldn't resist.

Like "Harad Farmer" in the first part, tavern owner "Mavis" was drawn directly from Tower of the Dead with a slight name change for the story to avoid any copyright issues. They were both gang bosses, part of a loose coalition of such figures that was all that passed for municipal government in "Marley" (Porta in the original adventure). Tio and Jack affiliated themselves with the Tavern Gang, which was trying to act as a neutral buffer between the two main groups of gangs, one "good" and the other "evil," although such terms are relative in a place like this. I used the town as the base for a lengthy portion of my campaign, with a couple of PC groups living and working out of it. After the second group attained high levels and retired from adventuring, the campaign moved to another part of my game world for the next phase with all-new PCs beginning at first level. We did this sort of thing multiple times over the the 35 or so years that the campaign was active.
