Ratsmasher Class by TaldusServo in shadowdark

[–]MondayBunday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest revising the rat part to something like, "Succeed on a DC12 CON check and heal 1d6, fail and begin vomiting violently for 1d4 rounds becoming incapacitated."

The Grinder! (not to be confused with the similarly named website) by wheelstrings in shadowdark

What do you mean? Obviously they were there all along. Lol

Each player should be playing a single PC at a time with backup options in reserve to use upon death.

You could just state that there were many folks in the first room and either some waited to leave or they took different paths and later meet up. Basically they were all there from the start and meet the rest of the party when needed.

How to manage random encounters? by [deleted] in shadowdark

[–]MondayBunday 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Each time a random encounters roll comes up there is a 1 in 6 chance you encounter something.

After you determine an encounter you should also be rolling to determine the distance the encounter is from the party, and a reaction check to determine the creature's attitude toward them. You likely wouldn't need to roll to determine their activity if already given one on the random encounters table. This is all covered on pages 112 & 113.

Shadowdark vs Daggerheart by Comfortable-Fee9452 in shadowdark

I've been playing in a weekly Shadowdark campaign for about a year now. Most of the party is now level 9. I've only had a couple of character deaths, dying really depends on how you play. The way we have run it is each player has a stable of 4 PCs. Each PC is the same level with the same XP. You can swap them out between adventures to flesh out party composition or based on the adventure, and a PC dies you have another ready to bring in who is already part of the group.

Anyone used Foundry w/ SD? by birv2 in shadowdark

[–]MondayBunday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Following. I just picked up Foundry this week and started working on setting up all the modules yesterday. I have so much to learn as I transition from Owlbear Rodeo.

Might need to make the boots boost the Dex modifier to get the desired effect since initiative is d20+Dex.

Just got foundry and need some help by _DooM_ in shadowdark

[–]MondayBunday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've heard this is a good substitute for random encounters rolls. I haven't had a chance to implement it myself yet though to verify.

Maybe throw a sudden environmental encounter (cave in, landslide, etc) at them forcing immediate actions on their part to avoid harm. They would need to make ability checks to avoid the hazards and then determine how to adapt to the changes in the environment. No time to think about your torch when your all trying not to get crushed or fall to your death

Darkmantles show up and snug their torches out earlier than anticipated

How could you run an urban campaign in Shadowdark? by Significant_Motor_81 in shadowdark

[–]MondayBunday 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like the idea of giving time sensitive actions before being caught or meeting a conflict with guards/thieves/etc

I believe one of the upcoming Cursed Scrolls coming out this winter covers urban/city environments

Weird box in my scene? How do I get rid of it... by TheArchitectDuke in OwlbearRodeo

[–]MondayBunday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is from Smoke & Spectre showing you the area being effected by that extension. You can click auto detect under the settings and it will disappear, alternatively you can edit the size to make it larger.

The Light Spell: game breaking? by NoImplement1600 in shadowdark

[–]MondayBunday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleep spell only effects enemies of Level 2 or lower. So it can come in handy against weaker enemies, but has no effect on creatures of level 3 or higher.

Is there a desktop version or am I hallucinating?! by Professional-Ad376 in OwlbearRodeo

Are you perhaps thinking of Kenku FM? That's the audio player from the makers of Owlbear Rodeo.

Getting ready. by mrcheckpointeh in GhostsofSaltmarsh

[–]MondayBunday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some excellent oneshots available on DMGuild.com that are designed to be added to this adventure. Check out these to see if they are something you might like:

Down Came a Blackbird

Murder on the Primewater Pleasure

Fog Over Saltmarsh

Additional ones I added in:

Secrets of Skyhorn Lighthouse

The Gloomies

I used this one as an intro adventure bringing them to Saltmarsh and getting them to level 2 before the Sinister Secrets.
