The Mushmen version has additional locations in the wilderness and some mechanics that require many days to pass in game before you can enter the dungeon. 

The Cairn version (here) has an updated dungeon design for better crawling and allows the players to access the dungeon from Day One (if they can reach the entrance). I think i would recommend the Cairn version for Shadowdark. (You'll need to convert the stat blocks either way, of course.)

So glad to hear it, thank you so much!

No plans to convert these Shadowdark one-shots, but they are very light, should be easy enough to grab the stats from Cairn if you want to use that system

Certainly you can replace an ally, that would make for an interesting scene! And if you reuse an adventurer, perhaps you could roll to see whether each item or ally is still with you when the next story begins? In the pulps, the hero usually starts over with next to nothing, so perhaps you could limit yourself to keeping only one thing from a prior adventure?

Great! Enjoy!

Thanks so much, looking forward to it!

Just wrote it today for fun!

I originally published Ragged Hollow in 2020. The Mushmen edition (2023), which is statted for OSE, includes a number of additional locations, NPCs, and tables. This Cairn edition is a conversion (and update) to the original adventure. So there are probably lots of small differences between the two.

Yes, its available in print on DriveThruRPG, and Amazon, and Lulu

Yes, absolutely, i just got the first proof this weekend, it will be in softcover and hardcover very soon

I love BSH! but if I were to write something for it, it would be purpose-designed for that system

thanks! If folks like these in play, I may make more

Good catch! I have updated the link to my current website, should work now, thanks!

Hello! I'm sorry you've run into an issue. I've just checked DTRPG and seen the strangest thing. As a customer, I was able to view and download the Cairn version, but in my Publisher view it did not show the Cairn version at all! So I have re-uploaded the Cairn file just now. Can you please try to re-access the files?

some interesting insights about bounded outcomes, thanks!

That's an interesting idea, you mean my old Harthbreaker game?  I'm not sure we have any folks interested in that system right now, we have all these new systems bursting onto the scene with Shadowdark, ToV, Daggerheart, and Draw Steel, I'll probably be keeping an eye on those, along with Cairn!

Thank you! You just saved me a ton of work!

This is extremely cool, amazing work!

picked this up at GenCon, looks great, interesting rules, lots of good ideas, well done!

Too much fun for waking mortals!

This is amazing, I had no idea! I hope everyone had a great time playing it. I'd love to hear some table stories, cheers!
