We're looking for #ShadowDark monster books because, well, we love monsters (even if they occasionally rampage through the Lair's lower levels).
Have a favorite ShadowDark monster book? Let us know so we can check it out and possibly talk about it on an upcoming episode.

Fallout Season 2 is coming in December 2025, and it's already renewed for Season 3.
So yeah, we're a little excited. Ok, we're a lot excited.
Guess it's time for David to start writing Season 2 of our actual play game ... and for Ken to get cracking on that "Crawl Out Through the Fallout" convention scenario he's been kicking around.

When it comes to #ShadowDark character creation, we love ShadowDarklings. The site lets you quickly make characters based on the core rules, as well as all the expansions. The exported character sheets look great, and include essential rules with them, like details for spells.
The site also has a few other tools for the game - mostly random generators - but its the character generator that's the essential app.
