The author of this module has replaced it with a completely different book. The new version is reformatted to make it all but unusable at the table, was artificially lengthened for no reason other than to add the artificially lengthened page count as a selling point (even though the details still list the original page count), and features new washed out Tumblr style art which is not printer friendly in the least and takes away so much of the imagination of the original module's black and white public domain art nouveau style. All previous review are for the original product and should not be taken into account for your purchasing decision.
I bought this product without realizing that the original version was replaced with an inferior copy. There is no warning on this page to let the consumer know that they cannot purchase the original module. To my knowledge, there is no official way to purchase or download the original module. I have left a comment on this page requesting access to the original version. That comment has been ignored for two weeks.
TLDR: The new version of this module is garbage. Please do not be tricked into spending your hard-earned money on it.

Can't wait for the updated reprint version of this amazing piece of work!

Inventive, mysterious, and fascinating. Works great when dropped into so many different adventures. PCs I've shown it too have been really impressed. Looking forward to more from this creator.

“A game in which disaster lesbians get fucked up in dungeons.”, does explain quite a lot. But just to make things clear: this is a game where you play as fem-presenting queer characters that are outcasts of society. Not in a “male fantasy” way, but in a banding together with a queer clique, forging relationships way.
If you're interested in exploring themes of sexuality and trauma, community and bonding together with a 'chosen few', with a very queer (particularly queer women/fem-presenting) lens in a dark fantasy world (with parallels to modern society, especially if you're a minority) I highly recommend Dungeon Bitches. However, because of its intense themes, it does require playing it with a good group — more so than other PnP RPGs. To help the game does include a quite thorough safety section, use those tools!

It's neat. OSR-style dungeon delve but the underworld is below a modern city, and there's derro and morlocks and vampires and cults everywhere. Strong atmosphere. Some great random tables designed to provide inspiration. A solid faction section that I might not have expected from a dungeoning game. A fine bestiary.
Well worth a look.

This has to be one of the absolute best RPG's ever written. What a perfect way to present this setting with this ruleset. It produces so much tension and mystery. Genius.

A really fun, mystical, gonzo, weird setting. I can't wait to drop it on my players. Takes Guardians of Ynn into a weird realm which callbacked something like Dirk Gently or Dr. Who or something, maybe with a sci-fi lean with the alternate dimension aspect of it.

very well written, a lot of good ideas, small price ... more than a simple dungeon, some cool "atmosphere"

I love this adventure. It fits perfectly as one of the gardens in A Red & Pleasant Land, which inspired it. I like the tie-ins it has with other LoTFP products too. There are some spelling, formatting, and other minor errors, but otherwise it is a masterpiece. I would love to see a hardcover version too!

Dying Stylishly Games are an auto-buy for me. Everything about Emmy's products I've seen are great! Gardens of Ynn is no exception!

A more than usable with a bit of character for an RPG I'd love to play some day

I am very happy with the contents of the book, it comes with a bunch of interesting ideas and has a very unique and memorable flavour.
One thing that irks me a bit is the image resolution of the POD, which is a bit picelated at times. Furthermore there are sone minor layout issues like the white frame around the illustration on pg. 14 which halfways overlaps the page header.
All in all its a beautiful product and I do not regret going all the way and buying the POD as well.

I looooove this book. Read it cover to cover and it is just brilliant. I love libraries and everything in here is just perfect. Now I just need to wait for my PCs to want to find some information, where could they go?... To the Library!!

Ran one of the best RPG games I've ever played with this system, but it was at times a bit of a struggle. While the themeing and the world is astounding, the real meat is the magic systems and the injuries. It can be hard to create evocative combat just from the pure rules, but the system definitely doesn't revolve around combat. Good if you want to play something in a sort of SCP or Delta Green esque dark modern fantasy setting.
