That’s exactly where I first stumbled upon it – on your blog! It’s a lovely little writeup, and it totally sold me on d8+d12.

Hell yea! Can’t wait to see the physical copy!

Oh, and the d12+d8 encounter table is made so you don’t first roll a d6 to check for encounters. You only roll the d12+d8, which is why one of the spots is a “nothing happens”. So it combines the two rolls into one. Whether that’s easier or not is very much debatable haha.

2/2
The module was released in Feb 2025, and is the first ever module I’ve written (although it’s the third one released).

I totally agree with your points about keying. I’ve been actively developing a, hopefully, much clearer keying method since writing this module. Thanks again for reviewing it!

Thanks so much for reviewing Serpent’s Sanctum! Totally fair criticism throughout – and I’m glad you liked it overall!

Regarding some of your thoughts: I’ve actually never played 5e haha. This was playtested in DCC. d12+d8 gives a nice flat middle of the curve. 1/2

That’s super simple and clever. Might just implement that into my campaign!

Thank you so much! Finding out I won the jam was an absolutely insane way to wake up this morning.

Great! I just sent you an email. Looking forward to learning more.

Hey Todd that sounds fun! I’d love to hear more. Do you prefer DM or email?

Thank you so much James!

100%!
Didn’t mean to exclude any of the hard working judges – in my eager to post I just copied the judges from the Live Stream video’s description.

Congrats Diogo! That sounds incredibly exciting!
