n the process of working on supplements and starter adventures for ItDR, I’ve made a couple of updates to the ItDR Core LaTeX package. Read a brief overview of the updates since the initial release here.

A new release for a new year. The highlights of this version are a new Feature — Gunslinger (kudos to DavidVCTheDM for a suggestion), and improvements to the following: Berserker Feature, core rules, domains, firearms, magic, as well as a new Random Reaction rule. Additionally, there is a short Q&A compilation of the questions that I’ve received over the year and during the Questionnaire.

Hawk the Slayer is a 1980 movie by Terry Marcel and Harry Robertson, starring Jack Palance, John Terry, and Bernard Bresslaw.
What follows is not a review of the movie, but an attempt to replicate it’s aesthetics using “Into the Dungeon: Revived” framework. If you haven’t yet seen the movie, but are considering doing so, be aware of possible spoilers you might encounter here. I’ll try to avoid the big ones however.

The funniest thing I can remember (it was quite a while, a couple years ago), is the finale, when Kerakuul offered a deal to the characters. Willem the salt knight, that previously encountered and barely survived the succubus in the Tomb of the Serpent Kings ( https://vladar.bearblog.dev/itdr-conversion-tomb-of-the-serpent-kings/ ) wouldn’t have any of it, and gleefully attacked the fiend, sending it to its rightful place in hell.
Solomon’s Screaming Tomb (by Joseph Robert Lewis), a Dungeon Age adventure.

Cave of the Spiders (by Skip Williams), a short 3rd edition adventure.

Warlock is a 1989 movie by Steve Miner and David Twohy, starring Julian Sands, Lori Singer, and Richard E. Grant.

A Darkness from the Stars — a mystical Eberron adventure by Sadie Lowry.

The Aundairian Job (by Craig Shackleton) — a heist adventure module from Dungeon Magazine #147.

The latter. See the beginning of the “Chapter 4: Magic”:
Spells require a few minutes of uninterrupted calm and attention to cast, as well as requiring a set of detailed gestures and incantations. Consequently, Spells are generally impossible to cast in combat.
So, while not in combat, you can cast any Spell from your Tome, though in dangerous environments this will prompt a random encounter roll (see “Chapter 7: Hazards and Obstacles”, Random Encounters):
When characters explore, rest, cast unprepared Spells, or hesitate in a dangerous place, roll a d6.
And, of course, you can switch your prepared Spells “setup” at any Rest.

Here’s a collection of guidelines I try to follow while designing Into the Dungeon: Revived materials, asides from those already presented in the ruleset.

Thanks!
> I don't get why you chose to only use two buttons.
Well, because that was the idea considering the Jam's theme.
> Considering the other comment, maybe tell people that they just need to chmod +x the appimage file
Yeah, good idea, I guess. I just assumed it should be a common knowledge in Linux community =)
