Shadowdark RPG Character Sheets

 Hi all!

Like many of you, I've been insanely excited about the success of the Shadowdark Kickstarter, and I can't wait to get my grimy little hands on the printed products that I backed.  In the meantime, I've been running a campaign using the QuickStart rules, and transitioning to the full rules now that they're out.

My personal preference is to use smaller character sheets whenever possible, so I took the assets that The Arcane Library gave us for the Shadowdark character sheets and rearranged them to create a few different options:

One of the sheets, is formatted to print two sheets to a page, just to eliminate some empty space.  It also contains some background art from the phenomenal illustrator Mac Teg who I've used before for my projects and who I can't speak highly enough about.

The next sheet is a PocketMod character sheet (a small booklet created from a single sheet of printer paper), oriented to create pockets in the booklet for storing notes, handouts, or magic item cards (I'll be posting my version of those soon!).

Last, I included an index card sized sheet for Zero-Level character to use during a gauntlet.  These sheets print 4 to a page (front and back), and don't include a box for a character's name, because in my gauntlets characters don't get names until they survive the gauntlet!

Hopefully these are helpful to some people, Check them out HERE!


As a side note, welcome to my new blog!  I'll be primarily posting about Shadowdark RPG and my own design work and opinions about old-school play.

Play it your way: "Homebrew" rules for Shadowdark RPG

 I'm a member of several gaming communities online, most notably the  Shadowdark RPG Official Group  on Facebook.  And it seems like every few weeks (or days) a post pops up asking about homebrew rules that different GMs use at their tables.  Now, I'm particularly fond of mine, so I figured what the hell, I'll throw together a blog post talking about what my rules are and why I made the changes that I did. #1: Zoned Combat This one really isn't a house rule, but rather it's the way that I interpret the rules and implement them.  Shadowdark already simplifies distances into Close, Near, and Far, which establishes zones quite easily.  I apply this at the table by using Professor Dungeon Master's Ultimate Dungeon Terrain , rather than using a dry erase map or dungeon tiles. To really fully grok how UDT works, I recommend watching the linked video (and honestly, I just recommend that channel in general, he's GREAT), but here's a quick and dirty version: UD...

Adventures in the Shadowdark: The Keep on the Borderlands

 For the last several months, I've had the pleasure of leading a group of players through Adventure Module B2: The Keep on the Borderlands, using Shadowdark RPG, and with some grimdark editing ala Professor Dungeon Master. I haven't been writing up campaign diaries for it, because I am lazy.  But I SHOULD do writeups for it, because my group is awesome and they're really getting into it now.  So here's a quick rundown of where we've come from so far: After having one of their companions accused of Witchcraft and Heresy (and burned at the stake for her trouble) in their introductory adventure, the party was charged by the Witch Hunter Sergeant Viktor Hess with transporting a sealed crate bearing the seal of the Emperor Himself to a location known as Winterhaven Keep, a small but critical component of the borderlands defense situated on the edge of the Chaos Wastes to the Northeast of the Barony of Backmarsh.  Along the way, they met up with some new companions (to re...
