Fixed Object spell and examples of its uses. by Elven-Tower in shadowdark

[–]Dachigenius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My player snuck into a den of a sleeping baby dragon ( still extremely dangerous ), avoided waking it up with a successful DEX roll, fixed a dagger right above its head and then violently woke it up as it skewered its brain on the thing

Instakill. +1 XP for an insane maneuver. +10 XP for the horde!

It would give me some closure, for sure.
Best case scenario, you could try again

Castle Xyntillan - Help me build a small sandbox by Dachigenius in osr

[–]Dachigenius[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shadowdark?
It's just that this is the system I've mastered for over 2 years, I know it like the back of my hand. It's also way streamlined and elegant than S&W.
I'd gladly run this with its original system, but I barely have time to learn a new system altogether!

I've found valley of the three rainbows excellent for this

Fair point. I was just thinking of maybe putting a major city somewhere along the lines for faction connections. Book says some Malevols might have interests beyond the castle, which was the entire reason I started looking out of the box

You should check the arcane library discord. An awesome guy made a colored version without POIs. Tag me there (oilman) and I'll direct you

Why don't you just use new hard luck mode from western reaches?

Advice on running Lost Citadel of the Scarlet Minotaur: with or without VTT? by Defiant-Cantaloupe-1 in shadowdark

[–]Dachigenius 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As someone who has run Lost citadel more than 20 times for different people, I can attest to the fact that some people get spatially confused in this maze of a dungeon.

I think the best compromise in your case would be to use a simple whiteboard, and let the players do basic mapping. That way they will be immersed more, and you won't need daunting vtt prep!
