TL;DNR The freely available original version - by the original author, Michael B. Sullivan - is vastly superior to this product in every way.

I'm flip-flopping on reviewing this.

My first review was very harsh ("worst purchase I've ever made on DriveThruRPG") because the 'full' version on offer here is much worse than the free version available on the net (i.e. no value added but with fixes which make things worse).

Many months later, I clicked on my review and thought "My, that was harsh for a game which provided your group with a memorable and fun one-shot." I deleted my original review and posted an apology (though still critising things, giving three stars, and thanking the publisher for providing a printable character sheet at last).

Next thing I learn in the comments that this version was not uploaded by the original author, so here I am again with a new one star review...

If Gamer Nations Studios LLC would like to clear up its relationship to the author and the material, I'm all ears.

In any case, I much prefer the original version.

We respect your opinion, and ask that you do a little research to see that not only is the work in the creative commons domain, not only did we give credit to Mr. Sullivan, we contacted him and he gave us public support. We absolutely feel that our version not only creates avenues for players who are not as creative to enjoy the game, but we changed very little from Michael's incredible start to this game. This version of the game has since been played on stream by Maisie Williams (yes that one) and many others have given praise. As a scientific man and a product manager in my day job, we appreciate harsh feedback, but you offer no alternatives. What manner of changes would better suit you? What did we do that made the one pager worse? We'd love to know so we can correct it in v2. Version two will have an app that will allow people to upload their own adventure seeds and use others' ideas, making this a truly community experience. The game will be available via the app as well, which will be $3 and will give you a code to obtain a free printable pdf. We look forward to your reply.

Well, it seems that even death couldn't stop the author from fixing the problem of it not being printable. PERFECT now, as you can hand out character sheets and keep track of obsessions!

Totally sorry, my own body tried to kill me twice in the last 16 months. I totally messed up and did not realize the no print option was turned on. That has been fixed now that I am back. Literally the first time I have been on this site, as I damn near dropped dead shortly after enabling the title for sale. I do apologize, I hope you can make use of the printable version.

I'm really torn about this review because the game itself is great, the PDF less so...

Put bluntly the PDF is a massive overcomplication of a simple game, as no one seems to be able to write the rules for a simple game simply i guess its forgiveable but it isn't idea. It certainly isn't the most user freindly document I've ever seen and as the rules are easily explained in minutes, so unless you are a GM I fail to see the point in it, I haven't read the free PDF but quite frankly eitherway this seems a bit odd.

On the plus side they have given alot of insperation for player and GMs so it isn't all bad, even if it does mean at least half of the text is for GMs.

I can understand not making the PDF printerble but making it so you can't print off the character sheets is pure lunacy and as there are no offical downloadable ones I can't begin to think what they were thinking. Why if they felt the need to make the PDF non-printable, why they didn't make a seperate file for the character sheet is beyond me as this site support this feature.

Regardless this is an amazing game even if this PDF is sideways. As such I have rated for the game rather than the product because it would be sad to see this gem overlooked.

Hello Maurren. Contrary to public belief I am indeed alive, almost killed by covid in 2020 and then cancer, but am on the mend and back to work. I honestly had no idea I had not enabled printing, that has been rectified. I wish there was a way to reach out to everyone and let them know I fixed it. The plan was to create a site with more seeds and provide a way for people to upload their own in a community, but medical got in the way for me. But I am back, new and improved, and am determined to make it right for all involved.
