6 Shadowdark Supplements That Rule
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 кві 2024
- In which I cover 6 small(ish) Shadowdark supplements that really understand the design philosophy of Shadowdark - they are GM facing, rather than player facing, don't add bloat to the game, and understand what makes Shadowdark...well, Shadowdark!
Here's where you can get them -

Another vote for as much Shadowdark content as you want to throw at us
haha awesome!
I love the fact that you give extra attention to Shadowdark content. Thank you
For sure! It's my game of choice atm, so I'm on the lookout for great resources! :)
For real, that’s what I thought the dungeon damsel was going to do, but she doesn’t post anything 🤷🏿♂️
Shadowdark has so much content! I have the Shadowdark books and also OSE, haven't decided completely on which to use as my main system, both are great!
It really does - more and more stuff coming out each week. It's hard to stay on top of it!
Yeah, both OSE and Shadowdark are top-tier! I'd run some one-shots in each your group and see which clicks better. That's what I did, and we discovered that Shadowdark was preferred.
I'd go with Shadowdark myself (It is one of the systems I use) for more classic systems that OSE is based off you can get the books it is totally based off dirt cheap such as rules cyclopaedia it has all the BEMCI rules besides the Immortal rules (years worth of leveling content tbh. I run Shadowdark and AD&D as my main systems Shadowdark is a great mix of old and new and can easily run old and new content, AD&D can run almost everything with little changes as well I enjoy it because it is a bit more complex but to keep it simple I'd run BEMCI rules still just as good imo 🤟🏻
These look great, especially Letters from the Dark which is a series I didn't know about. Thank you for sharing/reviewing.
My pleasure!
Fun fact: the mercenary sup at 4:03 uses our (Pat's) stock art! You, too, can wield such power ✨
Excellent!
Keep the SHADOWDARK content coming!
haha yessir!
"Caverns of Kowse": Moooooooo... xD
The secret cow level!! :D
Redmage does Shadowdark content? He gets my Shadowheart❤
The skeletons sound very gimmiky and funny
Awww thanks man! :D
Awesome stuff as always! I don't know how I missed Letters from the Dark, but I just had to go download the whole catalogue. Thanks!
I just stumbled onto the first volume a little bit ago! Now I'm definitely on board for as long as Chris makes them! :)
Great list and video. I love to see ShadowDark getting more love
Thanks mate!
Honestly Keep covering Shadowdark stuff, you've earned a sub
Great to have you here!
Nice video thanks man, I have picked up borderlands!
Glad to hear it!!
The borderlands one looks cool saw it when it came out, links to the other stuff they put out. Also the guys who done Wolfguard you just covered put our a new product i got it yesterday. It looks really nice, higher level stuff in a totally different placei dont think its officially connected but id run it as a different part of the world. Also Philip Reed is the man! Love his stuff i have so many damn cards lol again all of this stuff is so easly to use in most OSR/classic gaming systems its a god send
Ohh I didn't know about the new release from the Wolfguard folks! Awesome!
@@RedMageGM no worries I think it just came out the last day or so. I got it last night ans it looks really good. Nice big hexcrawl, and a good sized hex/point crawl. Gives good advice on where to run it in any campaign and it's levels 4-6 but level 3s can run it but would be rough (that just sounds like fun to me) also much easier for me to run in my current world than Wolfgaurd since they would have to travel so far north 😭
More Shadowdark. More good. Keep it up!
haha yessir!!
Love the video. Glad I finally found this channel.
Awesome, mate!
Love Shadowdark
Great video! Thank you for shouting out these awesome products! I can't wait til my summer exams are ginished so I can get playing RPGs again and hopefully run a Shadowdark one-shot.
Good luck with your exams!!
Ah yes the Jenga mechanic. Dread does this (a diceless pen&paper). I once had a session in a zombie apokalypse and if the tower falls you are dead.
For torches I like it not so much but another way of doing the underclock or maybe in a underground oneshot the tunnels may collapse like the Jenga tower.
The other supplements are looking so nice, RedMage always delivers the hot P&P stuff.
Yeah, that's right! I had forgotten about Dread - it was a ton of fun!
Like the season of shadow. It gives a Darkest Dungeon for “fixing” the town game mechanics.
Is there a way I can give you an elevator pitch for a shadow dark adventure?
I didn't think of that connection! Totally - my email is in the channel info section.
@@RedMageGM Cool. It’s more horror than fantasy.
I’m really irritated, I was subscribed to you, and didn’t find out I was unsubbed until someone shared this to the subreddit.
Not sure I understand...you accidentally subscribed, or accidentally unsubscribed? :D
@@RedMageGM my bad, I didn’t bother to read what I had typed. Yes, I was randomly unsubscribed from your channel.
It's all good man! Glad you made it back though! :)
The jenga tower mechanic is just to gimmicky for me. I also dont always play around a steady table.
I think the Shadowdark flavoring article is a good read for any dungeon crawler
Yeah, it's definitely a quirky mechanic - I wouldn't use it all the time. But I can totally imagine a tense "one-torch" delve situation where the tower really can't fall or else...
Hello! You mention a table for hireling traits present in an other book, is it Castle Xyntilan?
Yep - Castle Xyntillan!
Maybe "Topple-Blocks" is the generic name lol.
6:50 Why is the road more than 6 miles from the keep? Asking for a friend.
:D That is a good question...most likely to avoid the "there's a bunch of horrible monsters right down the road from us"...but maybe it was just the closest convenient box canyon!
It’s a river, not a road. My idea for the Borderlands was that it’s so untamed that there are no formal roads as the territory is constantly changing.
@@ShinyMissingno97 le wild author appears??
That "Not Colonizers" bit makes the setting sound dreadfully boring. Moral quandaries are the spice of any good game. When the party kills off the orc raiding party and then discovers their camp with the women and children, that's when things get interesting. Game designers should stick to designing games and not lecture GMs about how to run their tables.
I always somehow "messed up" every moral quandary my characters were faced with when I played as a kid- I think my DM delighted in seeing my actions cause havoc. Spare the bandits? They turn out to be working for the Big Bad and cause untold chaos. Kill them? They turn out to be misunderstood Robin Hood types and now the peasants hate us. :D
@@RedMageGM I wouldn't make it an automatic fail, but I would make it a dice roll.
