Old Preview removed and Full Core Book BETA available to Backers. Located here is a new Core Book Preview available to public. 

Hey Thanks for the feedback! 

Page 5 now has high res. 

19-23 was filler and all new layout and art was finished yesterday. 

62 woman’s jaw. I didn’t see it until you pointed it out. I added lines to signify it is indeed not a beard lol. 

Fonts & layout have been updated a lot since the free preview. Hopefully better and still not distracting from art. 

As of yesterday all page layout is “done”. Now time for a editing then send it to an actual editor :)

Again - thank you for the input. I’m going to see if I can get that map better (or find a map maker if I can).

Feel free to leave constructive feedback here.

Before going to print, complete digital files will be released to Backers for feedback and final review.

Enjoy.

This is good. I can see using it in my game. Was a good read that I will definitely use. 👍🏻

Hi. Sorry took so long to respond - I've had no power/internet for 16 hours ugh. Powers back on and responding now! Hey I decided as I sat around all day in the dark listening to records powered by battery that heck, I am going to just make this PDF free (PWYW) until the end of December. Maybe a few people will leave reviews for it. Big difference between this and previous editions is there is no AI art in this and it includes several adventures the original didn't. Enjoy!

Glad you liked the Adventure. Thank you. Trust me I hear you on the AI cover. It’s something I have been mulling over for future projects. :) 

FUN! Definitely will run this.

Enjoyed reading this and hope to run it.

Thanks. I definitely spent a long time on this table. Making a Shadowdark "template" in Canva and then saying to myself: What the heck list hasn't already been made at this point? :)

"You're all poisoned, meet me back here in three hours!" Nice way to impose a time limit - great for running at a convention! Entire adventure looks fun to play. Definitely a gauntlet that needs to be played.

I held off checking out your submission until after I sent mine in. Yesterday, I noticed you also chose Forthe for your adventure, and I nearly fell out of my chair when I saw we both picked the same city! The original story was a great read, and your adventure was just as fun. Well done Crawler!

Greetings, Crawlers! Thanks for delving into this game supplement. Hope you find something here that brings fun and excitement to your table, whether you're playing virtually or in person! Game on! - DAN
