When in doubt the hack you've implemented should not recieve specific bonuses unless it specifically seems like it should. So my default would be no - the universe doesn't make its home on the etheral or an adjacent plane. Sure, you can get all ecumenical about it, but I tend not to do that when...

My keying currently looks like the following pic. I've started using reference images of the dungeon on the same page. Each room has a first impressions version of boxed text, a list of key feature in bold with notes, a specific entrances list, and any monsters encountered all on the same page...

I decided to do my hex maps by hand. Hex Kit is decent, but the results aren't what I want. Campaign Cartopgrapher is waaaay to much learning curve. So, by hand seemed like the right idea. I think I'm going to use a misty receding background kind of effect to give them some depth. In keeping...

Maybe by terrain? Or genre? Or both..

Deadlands, the first regional setting book for Shadows of Empire, is now up on DTRPG for folks who like that sort of thing.

Well, not in the announcements thread anyway.

Nope, nothing new today on the Discord. So far anyway.

Into the Odd is a redesign and re-presentation of OD&D, so not much like Fudge or Fate at all.

Into the Odd is a wonderful game. I'd completely recommend using it to base any project on if you like it.

Yup, that art is great.

I think I have a cover for the new book. I have one map and two levels worth of rooms left to do. So close!!!

Anyone who wants to design their own SD stuff should look at Creating and Adapting Monsters for Use in Shadowdark RPG by Noon Knight Games.

Yeah, Kobayashi is a great designer. All his stuff is awesome.

I'm trying very hard to walk that fine line between incuding enough evocative prose to give people the feels but to keep the writing overall as tight as possible. It's not the easiest task, but I think it's probably best practice.

Johan Nohr also did the layout for the remaster of Into the Odd, and I stole a little from each (they're pretty similar). I find a lot of dungeons have really cramped writeups and are hard to use at the table, especially if you're a little older (as I am) and struggle with poor contrast and...

With a tip of the cap to Mork Borg, I think I have a dungeon page layout I'm happy with. I'm straying away from what the 'standard' SD dungeon looks like a little as I have some (I suppose) slightly different design goals. I'm trying to achieve a less cluttered and more accessible page layout...
