It's been a while since I shared an adventure/one shot/whatever. A small tomb packed to the brim with cultists, a zombie ogre, a vampire hunter with a demonic sword and an ancient vampire. Created using the Adventure Generator and other tables from the Shadowdark core book. I hope you enjoy and/or make it your own.
Looking for 3–4 regular players for a Wednesday-night Shadowdark dungeon crawl.
Wednesdays, 6 PM Central
2-3 hour sessions
6-10 session campaign
Dungeons ’85 voice + video
Adults only; beginners welcome
Shadowdark core rules
Each session begins at the tavern. The group chooses which rumor, dungeon, ruin, or nearby threat to pursue, heads out, and tries to make it back before the session ends.
Expect exploration, traps, monsters, treasure, resource management, factions, and adventure sites that change based on what the players do. There’s no predetermined plot. The campaign develops from player choices, and their consequences.
Roleplaying grows out of the expeditions, discoveries, NPCs, and decisions the group makes along the way.
I’m hoping for a dependable core group, although rotating characters may be part of the campaign.
If that sounds like your kind of Wednesday night, ask questions beliw or DM me with answers to these three questions:
Can you reliably play Wednesdays at 6 PM Central for 2–3 hours with voice and video?
What parts of dungeon-crawling play appeal to you most?
What makes someone a good player to share a RPG table with?
I prefer paper, dice, and a physical table. But in a world where online play has become a necessary evil, I wanted to preserve the analog spirit of the hobby in a digital space, so I built a no-frills, browser-based VTT that’s would be analogous to dry erase mat/minis/dice.
No logins, no accounts, no data harvesting. A passion project specifically for me to host games.
It's just maps, tokens, a dice roller, and the essential tools I need to run a game. This includes a manual "fog of war" feature, a turn tracker (B/X, OSE) and a torch timer (Shadowdark). Mainly because I forget to roll for random encounters a lot and always notice the dungeon should have been blacked-out for the last 5 minutes.
I’ve included built-in video chat so you can ditch the extra Discord tab. It’s simple, direct, and keeps your browser window focused entirely on the game.
t’s a pure HTML/JS project. You use sharing assets on your own Google Drive, meaning I never have access to your files, there are no servers for me to pay for (which is why it will always be free to use) and GMs retain 100% control over their data. Players just enter their character name, and the ID of room you created to join the table.
I’m reaching a point where I’d like to share this, but I want to make sure it’s stable before a wider release. I’m looking for a few people to help me "smoke test" it, i.e. try running a session, and tell me if it actually works for your table. Could be the best thing since sliced beer, or it could end in catastrophe.
If you’re interested in helping me, please leave a comment here or shoot me a DM. I’m happy to answer any questions.
So the party was in a cavern, and the Seawolf went into a room filled with toxic gas that lead to another dead end room that was supposed to be safe. The safe room had four levers all in the down position. Well, he kicked down the door so as he was trying to place the levers in the "correct" configuration, all the while taking 1d4 damage per round whenever he failed a CON test.
He tried every possible way all the while dying from the gas while the rest of the party waited just outside of the range of the toxic fumes. Every time he would declare a new configuration, I would just say "nothing happens, nothing at all."
One of the other players decides to search around and finds a scrap of paper that says: "Up, Down, and then". So they frantically start trying every possible combination to no effect.
This goes on for a solid 25-30 minutes, all the players writing down all the tries.
So they decide to just throw them in "Up, Down, Up, Down" and leave.
The party travels to the other side of the map where they walk unimpeded into the BBEG's lair.
The party is greeted with"Ha ha! I see you were clever enough to figure out the combination to my secret entrance!"
Without hesitation the Seawolf says (deadpan) "It was so easy a child could have figured it out."
I have never laughed so hard in my entire life. I have to remember to let him start next week's session with a extra luck token.
Anyone willing to share what they are paying artists for illustrations? And/ or contract terms?
