ShadowDark is one of the hot properties today in the RPG world, OSR, and beyond. It's not surprising, then, that several third-party publishers take advantage of the ShadowDark third-party license.
It is said a hole runs straight to blackest Hell. The Belowdown, a 19-level catacomb-skein of old ruins, misbegotten terrors, dark dwarf reliquaries, shuddering magic. Sharpen your blade to find riches or death for Shadowdark RPG.
Dyson Logos released a series of 23 relatively compact maps with a theme: all these maps are connected via a central shaft. Logos calls this “Iseldec’s Drop” and made these maps available to all creators. We’ve used the first 19 maps, placing an entrance to the Utter Below at the bottom. I imagine this as the home of the Shadowdark, as much as any world-wide malaise can have one.
We’ve decided to put our spin on this concept, calling it Belowdown. You’ll find forgotten civilizations, eldritch runes, bestial mutants serving brassine masters, serpent-people waiting for the End Times, necro-wizards preparing to create an army of slimy undead, and far more within.
A massive megadungeon of 19 interconnected levels, each with B&W maps, described in terse, evocative prose with crucial features outlined.
Factions such as brass automatons, the devil-lich, snake-people awaiting the end of the world, ooze worshipping toad-men, drow exterminators, mutant servitors, daemons seeking penultimate Chaos, and more.
Written with a focus on getting into play, designed so you can place the Belowdown in almost any campaign with little fuss. Menagerie Press makes Shadowdark-friendly modular adventures that are plug-and-play with your existing worlds.
I truly enjoy ShadowDark. It's a great crossover game for those who wish to go beyond the 5e environment and dip their toes into the OSR.
Today's Deal of the Day is the Adventure Anthology for Shadowdark. Usually $19.95 in PDF, it is on sale for $7.98 in PDF until tomorrow morning.
Adventure Anthology is our Adventure Framework Collection #1 converted to Shadowdark, with some updates to formatting, editing, and art, compiled by myself and Shadowdark veteran William Murakami-Brundage of Menagerie Press (or Facebook page here). I supplied the adventures, Will did the layout and conversion work :)
22 adventures
220 pages
PDF and Full size B&W hardcover (8.5″ x 11″)
The book consists of twenty two short, sharp, independent adventures, designed for low prep, improvised play. Each adventure has a hook/rumours, core scenario, random encounters, NPC details, and B&W illustrations. Nineteen have hand drawn maps. The settings are common locations such as cities, forests, mountains, underground, etc, for easy insertion into your sandbox campaign. They're suitable for PC Levels 1-7 and generally run around six to ten hours of session time.
Originally written for Low Fantasy Gaming RPG, the adventures tend to be lower magic, with a sword & sorcery bent. There are some references to the people and places of the Midlands of Argosa, but these are easily swapped out for your favourite setting.
