I tried to rate all the jam entries before time ran out but didn't quite make it. This is an excellent entry with wonderful art. Well done :)

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant to all the ones you wanted to get.

Sounds great to me, I hope you have fun making the rest and will keep exploring designs while publishing on Itch. It can be a lot of fun and very rewarding :)

Items bundled, awesome! Easy download :D

Nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from other works, so don't feel like you need to apologize. This is a distinct product and I enjoyed it as I said.

Simple and straightforward. Work speaks for itself.

First and foremost, this looks awesome. I love the aesthetic. However, I do find the document a little difficult to read in some parts because of the stylistic choices made. Still, it's a cool entry--great work!

It takes a little effort to fully parse between the two documents, but once I did so, the realm seemed interesting. I'll echo that I like having GM and player-facing materials as well. Good effort.

It's cool that this runs in the browser and I am grateful for a text version of the zine for my eye's sake. It's got a very distinctive flavor from a visual standpoint but I'm afraid it may distract from the actual content inside. Still, this is a unique entry and I can appreciate it for that reason alone.

What's there to say that hasn't already been said? Cool stuff in here. Great work.

Not really my thing, but it's cool for people who want it. I feel like there's more room to explore this concept and balance it further. For example, the potions are a really cool idea and the mention of a drawback for drinking too many is interesting. But how many are too many (I'd argue more than one)? What kind of drawbacks? Fleshing that sort of thing out and providing some spark tables would elevate this content considerably. Still, good work, it's hard to submit one thing, let alone two to a jam.

A nice little bonus for players who need a little more inspiration/motivation for their Knight. Since the creator has specifically asked for critique and feedback, I will provide a little here (but don't worry, I still gave 5 stars):

My main point of criticism is the layout. It's functional, but it doesn't really invoke Mythic Bastionland from a visual standpoint. While I can appreciate that this is pretty friendly to print, a "beautified" version would also be nice to have. Pretty minor as far as complaints go. The content is solid, and I enjoyed reading through it.

Templates are always good. Not much else to say, it's exactly what's on the tin.

Incredible work. Even if someone isn't looking to overhaul Mythic Bastionland, there's lots of cool stuff in here to inspire and draw upon.

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought maybe you meant the Luminous Seer, which would be interesting. In either case, still excited to hear how things go, but no rush. Have fun! 

Yes, that's the one!

Exactly, there's a lot of choice. Spoiled for it, really. Next time, right? I like your thoughts on Landmarks and Sites. Would be cool to do almost an adventure booklet and pre-populated realm even.

I've got you followed so if you make more cool stuff I'll see it :)

I looked over your entry and I think I see what you mean O.o What a coincidence! I'd be interested to know how changing the content to accommodate a Seer would impact play, so please do let me know if you give it a try. Thanks for stopping by! :)

I noticed you were worried since this was your first time publishing a design publicly, but you did a good job :) Congrats on getting yourself out there and challenging yourself, even if you didn't get to the Myths like you'd hoped. Just means you've got something for next time to try!

Thank you so much, I'm glad this really resonated with you. Please let me know how it goes, I would absolutely love to hear all about it! I'm very curious to see how various tables end up tackling this one since Mother can be viewed as a simple monster to defeat or soothed via other methods. Enjoy!

Of course :)

You hit the really big ones, but there are some obscure Yokai I know a bit about like Hamaguri nyōbō (clam wife) that would have been fun. Given how important birds are in core, I would probably done a variation of the tongue-cut sparrow as well. Now that I think about it, a "festival" themed Myth would have been good too, maybe Tanabata-ish? There's a lot of potential I feel hidden away in the mythos of other cultures that I would really like to see explored more. Did you see the one centered on Korean mythos? Highly recommend it, even if it's rather brief since the creator said they ran out of time (so consider it a teaser).

I really have enjoyed these larger submissions. Great work, this is one of the entries I'm excited to download.

Impressive amount of content. There are a few "easy" downloads from this jam and this is one of them. Great work :D

Art feels like the core book and the content is interesting too. Great submission, really enjoyed it.

I'll have to give you a follow so I can see it when you finish it up :)

Thanks you very much for the kind words and for taking the time :)

Of course! :D

Like having lots of space to write as my players always appreciate that. Great work, it's a clean and easy-to-use sheet.

Lovely sheet with cool artwork. I don't know if I'd love actually using it, but it's so on theme I almost don't care. Great stuff!

Simple but elegant. Great work!

Love the page layouts and art. Even if the content weren't great (but thankfully, it is), I'd still rate this pretty highly on a technical level. Just cool, really like it. Great work!

Chris said it best on stream, this is something that feels like it should have been in the core book to begin with as a player and GM aid. Streamlined and useful, easy five stars. Great work!

A beautified version of the OG character sheet. Not much else to say. Functional and looks nice, can't really ask for more.

Another character sheet. They are all improvements over what Chris had (sorry Chris). I like the hand-done style this one has. Good work.

Cool system and really cool art. The creator posted in the Discord as they were uploading and it was fun to see their progress. It makes it more impressive to me. Enjoyed :)

If I were wanting a Google Sheets version of the character sheet, this would be the one I'd use. Great work!

Works and it's quick if that's what you need. I don't think this would be my go-to tool, but that doesn't mean this entry isn't good--far from it. Reading the comments, it's clear the developer cares about the project and is updating it as needed. Great work.

I think it's easy to praise this one for the lavish illustration work, but the actual content itself is full of interesting flavor too. A little surprised not to see more of its ilk, but hey, that just makes this stand out all the more. Great stuff!

It took a little poking around before I got used to the interface, but once I did, this proved to be a pretty good tool. Great work!

My only complaint is there aren't more of these. Great work!

Had you not done this, it was something I was considering doing myself. These feel well-researched and implemented. Easy include for realms that don't want to stick strictly to more Arthurian-style Myths.

Works well and looks good. Do wish I could rotate tiles a bit more than I can, but it's a very minor complaint. Polished. Excellent work!
