Writing: Text ranges from bloviated to concise; brisk to simple. But it is reliably miserable.

Basilica of the False Prophet
Concept: “THEM. A lunatic, convinced he is the one true, basilisk. Skulking in an abandoned church on the far side of the western mountain range, he rants and plots against HE and SHE.”
Content: A desperate descent. An unexpected plunge. A shattered hope?
Writing: Miserable and descriptive encounters, backed by elegant mechanics, make a narrative descent into madness.
Art/design: A masterful balance of utility, consistency, and style. Haunting yet austere illustrations and maps fill but do not dominate the pamphlet.
Usability: Pairs well with Western Wall (also by Rugose Kohn).

Blood Money
Concept: “While languishing in a drunken stupor in a coastal town flophouse … you were abducted by a press gang.”

Writing: Sets the scene and provides a plethora of options for play
Art/design: Supports the nautical theme subtly but effectively
Usability: Intended more as a toolbox than a unified dungeon or set of mechanics
Candelabra of Blood
Concept: “It's a candelabra. Of blood. It uses hit points to summon Blood Drenched Skeletons. Or it might turn you into a skeleton. You get to decide.”
Content: The concept pretty much sums it up.
Writing: Two clear and concise sentences
Art/design: A suitably gory figure with a floral ground that keeps the black and white spaces visually interesting
Usability: For the GM, straightforward; for PCs, potentially lethal and hilarious (unless you’re another PC—then it’s even more lethal)

Down and Out in a Schleswig Sanitorium
Concept: “Recently the staff has all been murdered by a patient gone rogue. That suits the King’s ends well enough.”
Content: Clever scenario, especially the conclusion
