Content: Parasitic bees, their (in)toxic(ating) honey, and their keepers
Writing: A fair split of flavor and mechanics, both well conceived and written
Art/design: Subtle but effective representations of colonized humans
Usability: Honey mechanics are split, but not detrimental on a 1-page document

Slapping Bastard
Concept: “Though lumbering and unable to make a closed fist or grip anything smaller than a stout branch, you slap like a burlap sack full of rocks.”
Content: An open-palm brawler class
Writing: Descriptive with a dryly humorous streak
Art/design: Colors help text stand out against background image in a well-organized layout
Usability: A bit difficult to read when printed in black & white; if you’re using it on the screen or in color, you’re good to go
SlasHER

Writing: Pulls no punches with the body horror and grotesque imagery; payoff is grimly humorous
Art/design: Available in pamphlet and Album crawl version, which is read counterclockwise

The Wicker God

Content: An enormous monster that eats characters and monsters alive before immolating itself
Writing: Concise but descriptive with well-placed humor
Art/design: Typography and purely graphic components all contribute to an overall woven, vegetable texture
