Playing With the Lights In Shadowdark RPG.

Giving some thoughts for Shadowdark RPG GMs. Here are 8 more drawbacks to having to carry that pesky light source through the dungeon. Hee hee hee hee!

One of the best mechanics in the game is lots of fun for the GM. Light is one of the most precious commodities in Shadowdark RPG. Torches last all of ONE hour in real time. Inventory space is somewhat limited. How to players keep the torch fires going and still survive the horrors beneath the surface? Here are a few thoughts to go along with what was listed in the Shadowdark rules: Fighting…

Chimney of Hell’s Furnace Room 4.

Room 4 of 5 in the Chimney of Hell's Furnace.

Brother of Klees’ Cell. GM Note: Rooms 3 through 5 can be played in any order. I’ve put the dungeon together in some semblance of numerical order. Rooms 3 and 4 are next to each other. Room 5 is down a long corridor on the North wall. (Map to come.) This cell seems more secure than the one next to it. There are several pristine paper seals taped across the crack in the door accompanying the…

Chimney of Hell’s Furnace Room 3.

Room 3 of the simple 5 Room dungeon for Shadowdark RPG I've been working on for a while now. More soon. Thanks for stopping by.

The Chimney of Hell’s Furnace Room 1

Will the party face grave danger in order to gain some awesome loot?

For Shadowdark RPG and other similar OSR games. When last we left off, Jake and Eddy, two well-meaning farm kids had stumbled upon a large door covered in writing and runes. They went to town to find someone capable of deciphering all of those big fancy scribbles on the thing and caught the attention of our ragtag band of adventurers. We now join the scene of the door already in progress. A…

The Holiday Season, a Time for Dungeons.

Working on a new short dungeon adventure for Shadowdark RPG. I love fall, especially the cool, crisp days after a major holiday when I can plan dungeons, adventures, and relax with a good gaming book.

My favorite quiet time activity in October through January. Ahh, my favorite time of year. The weather gets cooler, leaves start to fall, and the bugs disappear. I sit down to work on creating a dungeon after the dinner is cleared off the table and the dishes are done.Back in the day I would read modules to run when everyone got together on Saturday. I really like a lot of the old AEG and…
