Yes indeed, humanoid monsters are not darkness adapted so one would expect their lairs to be lit.

Maybe we're trying to add a modern idea to something that is trying to be less modern. Maybe the modern idea is that a Player should always get to do something on their turn. Maybe Shadowdark doesn't care. Maybe sometimes your turn comes up, you roll the dice, and nothing happens. Fighters get...

Thank you Puknui for casting light on Jasper's garbled transmission from the void:

I've run level 13 of the Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Trobriand's Graveyard a few times with Fury Road enhancements in as many campaigns.

The way I've been running them (the 2 or 3 times I've done so), is to have them dive between our characters' legs and teleport elsewhere. This is after they reach into our backpacks and steal random things.

I always imagined they did, but now I'm not so sure. If the rift can be up to 10 ft. wide I don't see why they can only stick a portion of their body through. Dimensional Rift. As a bonus action, the boggle can create an invisible and immobile rift within an opening or frame it can see within 5...

One guy online said he might allow a player to still cast their spell if they fail their spellcheck, but they will still lose the spell for the day. This way it's less of a downer when you fail a spellcheck because at least you still got to do something.

Help! I'm drowning in books!

I would probably do away with the torch timer. I like it, so I may not do away with it, but when it goes off it's usually at a time when it doesn't matter and we just light another one. However, it does supply some tension just knowing it's there. I guess I'll keep it, maybe not. :unsure:

This is the Way.

I swear, that woman prints money.

I think the cover boards add a significant amount of width.

What?!

I'm running a campaign right now for a handful of twenty-somethings where all of their characters have been transformed into anthropomorphic forest animals trapped in a land of myrth and whimsy. Some of them have professed a love of the Redwall series.

Curse of Strand.

In the before-times, long before the Great Cutification of all things, there was Conan of Cimmeria who fought/ran away from a giant snail haunting an ancient abandoned city. It was a very big snail (or was it a slug?) that was very fast. Not cute at all. Viscous. Where's my Holy Hand Grenade.

Thanks for everything.

I think This works in Shadowdark because it is so quick and simple: you decide how much guild your going to spend on carousing then you roll on a table for the results. I would suggest keeping it simple in the execution but complex in the setup to support system masters who enjoy that feeling...

That's so cool.

Well, if people want to develop their characters through "safe" downtime activities rather than adventuring, so be it. To each their own. Let's not assume that 17 levels of adventuring can't take place in a few months of in-world time. (Speaking from experience. What I'm suggesting here is...
