We’re taking a brief break from the starting adventures to tackle something a bit different. We’re going hunting inside the Tomb of Gar-Xhul by Sean Patrick Fannon aka Big Irish. What is it? Tomb of Gar-Xhul is a Shadowdark adventure for characters between levels 2-4. On the Drive-Thru page, it states that this adventure can…

We continue our review of starting adventures. Part of the reason, I’ve been focused on this particular brand of adventure is because I want to write a good starting adventure as part of my next project. In general, I’m finding that most highly rated ones tend to be overly simplified, but understandably, that makes them…

Into the Shadows can be found on DTRPG for PWYW.~2200 words. 11 minutes read time. There are times where your personal obsession dictates what you look at to review, & there are times where you see a rating and wonder, how did it get that mark for essentially a free adventure, I need to figure…

This is a Shadowdark adventure quest to remove an evil priestess from power for 3-6 1st level characters. It’s less dungeon crawl and more heroic mission. I snagged a few starter adventures…

Recently, there was a post on how bullet points are bad, ttrgps should be ugly & incoherent, and writing should be expressive. Essentially, it’s an argument for art. While I have a lot of issues with the article, I tend to agree with the sentiment that many adventures in the space are dull as best…

For as much as I see people discussing adventure design & its structure, I rarely see people elaborate on what a 1-page adventure is and what elements are crucial to a good one-pager. While working on Things Possessed of Power, I set a challenge to make the location more alive by having 1-page dungeons that…
