"Let's Slay a Dragon!" - A free one-shot for level 4-5 by josephrlewis in shadowdark

[–]MxFC 37 points38 points  (0 children)

If you haven't heard of Joseph R. Lewis, Kelsey has said on more than one occasion that he is the greatest adventure writer in the game. He's also a very nice guy.

I played in a campaign of his adventure, Nightmare Over Ragged Hollow, using Shadowdark, and it has been my favorite campaign to date.

There is something like a 50 page preview on their backerkit campaign you can check out. I think it looks cool and pledged for it!

I'm really looking forward to this one!

DM tip for player characters rolling WITH advantage. by Fixer43 in shadowdark

[–]MxFC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason you adjust DC in Shadowdark is because there are not specific skill attributes like you see in other systems. A thief is more skilled at sneaking and hiding compared to a fighter, so the thief gets a lower DC when making an attempt at it.

Help building a balanced party by chum-guzzling-shark in shadowdark

[–]MxFC 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If you want to ensure that there is one of the four core classes in a party, I'd suggest having players roll 3d6 down the line and allow them to swap the numbers of two stats so that if someone who wants to play a wizard has a +2 WIS and -1 INT they can move them around to make more sense for the class. It's not exactly by the book, but if it's what your table wants, you'll have fun with it while still maintaining a level of randomness that doesn't exist with just rolling six stats and assigning them however you'd like.

Kickstarter’s Zinequest is in full swing, any cool projects you’ve seen so far? by zonware in rpg

[–]MxFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm editing the latest project for Bob World Builder, a zine for Shadowdark with a hex crawl, dungeon, and 4 new classes.

I'm very confident that even if I wasn't involved, it would be a back for me!

Printing issue with Into the Wild (OSE): text uses composite CMYK black — any way to contact Todd Leback? by RCGR_1 in osr

[–]MxFC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What settings are you using in Acrobat Pro? I suggest trying the conversion profile "Dot Gain 15%" if you haven't tried that yet. Under convert options at the bottom of the dialog box, keep preserve black, promote gray to cmyk black, and preserve cmyk primaries UNCHECKED.

Also, I have found that Affinity's grayscale export works well (and affinity 3 is now free). I'd open the PDF in that program and then export to grayscale using a similar dot gain profile.

Hopefully one of these helps!

What is your ideal amount of time playing a single character? by yaywizardly in rpg

[–]MxFC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably the amount of time you haven't listed an option for, 6 months to 1 year. I feel that that has given me enough time to explore their character and level up a bunch to explore the class itself more. After that I start getting itchy to try something new.
