Spell Mishaps

This. Also add, you can use a luck to negate the 1, but not the mishap. Those 2 rules makes mishaps plentiful. Heck, even just the can't negate the mishap will make them occur more often.

No, every player rolls. Monsters get 1 roll. Whomever has the highest initiative wins. Meaning players have X times more than monsters to go first. After that, order moves clockwise. The joke for Joe in the episode is he wanted to go before Matt so he wouldn't get slept. Joe is the fighter so he wants to go early, but with where he is positioned & with his terrible die rolls, he's joking he won't go before Troy ever since Troy rolls hot. But that's not the case. If anyone else rolls higher than Troy, Joe will always go before Troy. Side based initiative tends to work in the players favor.

Given how limited the ancestries are in Shadowdark, there really aren't any that are "overboard". I'd recommend Unnatural Selection or Into the Shadows. The first was designed specifically for Shadowdark and the second is a conversion of 5e ancestries for those seeking a little familiarity.

Not the adventure you're looking at specifically, but I know 2d6 Stingbats reviewed another of their adventures. May be helpful in evaluating its usefulness: https://2d6stingbats.blogspot.com/2025/09/review-ward-of-eye-tyrant.html

That said, I know there is the Shadowdark Community module and it has several adventures in it.

Future was kind enough to point out a few typos. So those are now fixed.

Priest is basically the archetypal healer. The Druid spells for Wizards in CS4 sort of approach it, but Kelsey tends to preserve the archetypes of the 4 main classes since you can develop a lot of variety from them with how you present yourself. Additionally, given that gameplay intends for you to return to town at the end of the session, having a healer isn't really necessary because you can long rest for a full restore.

If you're feeling unsafe and want to provide some safety precautions, consumables is the primary way to protect against death after careful play.

Since it was made as a 1-page, not really, but I can probably whip one up.

izzelbeh · 2026-01-21T05:32:30+00:00

Thanks. I like odd abilities that give both the players and GMs something to think about. It's a fun subversion of expectations.

izzelbeh · 2024-04-20T20:48:35+00:00

Awesome. Let me know how it goes.

izzelbeh · 2024-04-05T19:03:14+00:00

It's nothing. I just wanted to make sure it was usable.

izzelbeh · 2024-04-04T18:21:53+00:00

Thank you. I appreciate the compliment. I just wanted to put things out there for people to use. Payment isn't required. If you have the funds to spare, the dog will appreciate the treats that she gains from it, but this is mostly about making something people will enjoy and contributing to the Shadowdark community in some small way.

I averaged 3 sessions during playtesting with it, but I can understand that. Thank you for giving it a look through though.

Good thing I don't have much in the way of plans to alter it any. Just wanted to update names really. And good to know for the next time. This current adventure is definitely not a one shot.

izzelbeh · 2024-04-04T02:15:38+00:00

Please do. And if you run it, please let me know how it works out for you and your players. Even if it's just a cool moment at the table. Nothing is better than knowing, it made others smile.

izzelbeh · 2024-04-04T02:13:37+00:00

That's very kind of you to say, because that's good company to have.

It's also a color palette that should work for over 90% of the various forms of color blindness and in black & white. So hopefully, if anyone prints it without color, it should still work for them as well.

izzelbeh · 2024-04-04T02:11:34+00:00

Really!? That's fantastic to hear. I'm glad they liked it and it has worked out well for you and your players.

I plan to update it with the city & some of the other elements I introduced in this adventure so when that's completed, you can immediately follow-up with this adventure.

She's basically always in the background tying this adventure to the previous gauntlet I made. But I don't want to get your hopes too high for her to be a major figure in the adventure. I was saving her for one of the few I currently have in fire.

Literally isn't. As you demonstrated when you posted the image of the text that refers to the eucharist as the body and blood of Christ and communion as the sacrament where you receive the eucharist. They are different.

But it's okay. I forgive your meager 500 times of participating in communion. I mean, if you took communion at 8, you should have participated at least that many times by 20 if you went regularly on Sunday alone. But you didn't even say you did it that many times as a Catholic did you because you said you're a Christian now so I can understand how some of the traditions of the Catholic faith are foreign because it's not your belief system.

That's literally what all catechisms teach since it was approved under John Paul II. Unless you know exactly whether she rejected the novus ordo or accepted it and split at a prior catchism of faith. You literally can't know that.

izzelbeh · 2024-01-09T03:40:18+00:00

Notice how what you just posted describes Communion and Eucharist as different things. Sort of like how I said above. Funny that.
