Shrine of Change by ceruleanfive A transforming dungeon compatible with Heroes of Cerulea

To celebrate Heroes of Cerulea getting a flippin' Ennie(!), I've put together a preview of what I'm working on for #seasonsofcerulea.

Snippet from a MÖRK BORG review: ”My mercifully succinct and somewhat crude description—though I will of course delve into agonizing detail—of Mork Borg: it is an overhyped, incomplete trash game, a fantasy heartbreaker without any heart, and I am of the firm belief that it was solely created by someone in order to mislead others into thinking they are some sort of game designer. Despite being at least three times longer than it has any right to be, Mork Borg offers little to nothing in terms of either innovation or interest, instead attempting to distract you through a combination of ill-conceived, shallow ideas, as well as inconsistent, atrocious, and at many times excessive art, font, and layout choices.”

Blood Feud, by @blackfiskpub.bsky.social, is a PbtA game about toxic masculinity, power, honor, and all of the wounds the interplay between them causes.
