Again, thank you! I'm glad you're enjoying it. Fun to write. I'm just leaning into the strangeness.

Great illustrations! I found 4AD some years ago and did a couple of runs with it but it never really clicked for me, felt a bit too random with how monsters, especially bosses. Might have to give it a new spin, though. I really like the dungeon delving aspect and creating the map as you go.

Great write-up. I loved the personality and style of Lord Chao$. They got lucky cause of the sleep spell.

Thank you! I had fun writing this one up. There’s no real description of a Chaos Lord in 4AD so, I took some liberties.

I wasn't sure I'd like the vibe of this but I'm loving it! That last boss reminded me of one of the League of Evil Exes from Scott Pilgrim.

Thanks! I had to look that up, bit I see the similarity. I'm sort of just letting this one run wild. See where it takes me.

Really appreciate it! Yeah that a was close one. That spell really did keep them alive.

I just decided to lighten the vibe on this one. I'm working on a grimdark vibe western, dark horror fantasy thing, etc. Needed something light to conterbalance that.

It is a bit random.

I prefer a theme with my dungeons too, but I tried to reframe the game. The storyline and character interactions became the theme with the events of the dungeon acting as prompts for my characters' responses.

They're as confused as I am about what's happening.
