A roguelike meets OSR.

Glorious little ruleset for ruleslight gaming.

Independently, I came up with a linear scale based on Beaufort scales. I ran hex flower and it's pretty good to determine weather, but the wind speeds are left to be implied. Which is OK in 99% of cases (unless you're doing naval stuff). I think I'll make a wind speed hack for the weather hex flower, but it's a 5 stars for innovation.

An absolutely iconic NSR module! I have placed its events into my sandbox and can't wait for the players to stumble upon this stuff. :)

Great tiny supplement for a holiday-themed session.

Made a backbone of a really nice NPC. Would I want my PCs to play this? Nah. Was it good to have to run a session? Yes.

Note that the authors have another flavour of Yule Elf online, which is also awesome! Search for their new blog!

I used this supplement to run a Christmas adventure! Easily adapted to a new school revolution (NSR) game using my own Icy NSR system!

This is the only OSR system you'll ever need. Really.

It's OK. I'm not a huge fan how linear and gappy it is.

OSR at its best. Very integratable into any campaign or a hexcrawl.

Worth every cent.

One note though: this is not a deduction module, or rather you won't deduct the thing you thought you will deduct.

I would love for it to have more happy paths, but it's "winnable", assuming the Referee has done enough prep and read it carefully. That said, be very careful while putting it into your campaign, it's very deadly. I would strongly advice against inserting more happy paths into the module, as it will inevitably break the effect. If you want to make the module more survivable, carefully craft some rumours upfront, so that the party isn't completely dazed and confused as the events unfold.

Needless to say that the setting can be trivially tweaked to pretty much anything that's not a high-magick setting.

I learned about this module from a generally positive review on tenfootpole, then I ran it. It's a ton of fun and can become a go-to location for the party in your campaign. The environment is packed with meaningful interactions, puzzles, deduction and secrets. It's very easy to run NPCs, they are deep and fun to interact with.

Magic items are unique and out-of-the-box. The module works well in the standard high-magic D&D world, but can easily be tailored for low-magic or even an OSR setting.

I ran it in OSR and it worked with zero conversion, only slight ommissions.

Finally, the author is actively maintaining the module and is improving it! For example, I ran version seven of this module.

I'll be on the lookout for the next product by Sean!
