We played this as a one-shot around Halloween, and it went great! They didn't visit the gallery, but a player tried to convince Helel that God isn't so bad and everything went to hell just as they found Lum. It was just the right amount of chaos and disturbing imagery.

I played it again more recently with other players, and this time they helped Helel. For their wish, they asked for the Sky Marble. Of course this precipitated the Nightmare Phase, and they had to rush to escape. They barely escaped by removing the door from its hinges (one is a blacksmith, which helped). It was super funny, and they loved outsmarting the scenario!

Also, I first read the module right after the Gamer Blast episode where you ranted for five good minutes about needing a weird little Gollum guy in every dungeon, so seeing the weird Dark Souls-type old man made me laugh out loud, much to the dismay of my sleeping girlfriend.

Thanks for such an awesome time all around :)

I recently got the printed version of the guide, and I'm loving reading through it! The topic of the pre-Apocalypse (owing the term to Jacob Geller) has been on my mind for a while now, and this setting is a nice opportunity to explore that theme through play. I'll probably try setting up a  campaign in it.

Is there a way to get the PDF of the map without buying the book again?

We ended up playing this adventure as a first session, and it was super fun! It introduced dice roll in non-threatening situations, which I found great. For the "winning condition," I actually made it a hook for Winter's Daughter, with the faes recruiting the group. Thanks again!

I just received my hardcover copy from IglooTree today, can't wait to dive in! I hope you don't mind me grabbing a community copy so I can go back and forth between physical and digital.

Can't wait to explore the ocean deep as animated bones <3

Very nice suggestions, thank you.

I'm only just starting to reconnect with my creative self after years of taming, and still a bit apprehensive about DMing, so that really helps. I'll let you know how it went! Hopefully, some 5th outcome arises ;-)

Hey,

I want to run this scenario as a first session with a new group, and I was wondering how they could "save the townsfolk" without killing the Ringmaster. Warning them about the fae seems insufficient, and apart from perhaps accidentally ruining the wedding, I don't really see a way forward.

Loved reading through the scenario, thanks for writing it!
