Lair of Secrets

The rules say torches throw light to a “Near” distance, which is 30 ft.

But is that 30 ft. from the torchbearer (30′ radius, 60′ diameter) OR 30 ft. centered on them (15′ radius, 30′ diameter)?

Let's vote. Which do you use in your game?

Lair of Secrets

Venturing into the dark is dangerous, and the Shadowdark RPG offers monstrous threats, dangerous traps, and treacherous hazards to throw at your players. What it doesn’t provide is a hazards chart listing potential damage and check difficulty classes.

So we made one.

Lair of Secrets

Ken's prepping for an overland journey in his Shadowdark campaign, and thinking about weather.

The weather "hex flower" approach at Goblin's Henchman is pretty cool: it's like a hexcrawl ... but for weather. The webpage includes several variations on this theme, including season-specific flowers.
