[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 9703586, member: 6807152"] [B]Cursed Scroll 1 - Diablerie Dated: Dec 2021[/B] Theme: Demons, Witches, Cults, that kind of thing. Contents in order as they appear: A hexmap through a cursed forest with some encounter tables. 3 new Classes, a demon possessed Knight (half caster), the Warlock (not at all the 5e Warlock), and Witch (CHA full caster). An overview and talent tables specific to the Warlock patrons, other players are able to roll on these tables as well as part of the hexcrawl encounters. 20 Backgrounds. 2 tables of Mishaps for the new Diabolic (the Knight/Witch) casters. 46 spell Witch Spell List, I think most of these are new spells (things like Scry, Dimension Door are not) but I've played neither. The hex key for the hex map. 14 Monsters, this includes a few named NPCs for the adventure. 17 pages of Adventure with a Map and keyed locations. Back cover is a table of 20 new treasure items, themed to the rest of the content. Not a lot of mechanical updates here, but the Patrons could count in that regard, but its a great product imo. [B]Cursed Scroll 2 - Red Sands Dated: Oct 2022[/B] Theme: Deserts, Gladiators, Sword and Sorcery Contents in order they appear. A hexmap through a desert with some encounter tables. 3 new classes, the Desert Rider (Mount focus), Pit Fighter, Ras-Godai (Assassin) 9 new Weapons New Rules - Pit Fighting! 3 Tables for Solo Pit Fights, 3 Tables for Group Pit Fights, Arena Table (defines the crowd), Enduring Wounds table, Poisons Table, Mounts Rules. The book space taken up by the spells in CS1, are replaced with the above rules content here [USER=6747251]@Micah Sweet[/USER] Desert Rules - Related to the hexcrawl, but obviously transferable to any desert location, like say an Oasis adventure. Hex Key. 14 Monsters themed around the hex and adventure. 22 page adventure with NPC overviews, keys, and maps. 20 items found 'in a dead bandits hand' as the back cover. This is the Cursed Scroll which combined with the core book is pretty much 'Sword and Sorcery is done' for Shadowdark. I hope Mounts at least gets into the license somehow, along with boats from Cursed Scroll 3. [B]Cursed Scroll 3 - Midnight Sun Dated: Dec 2022[/B] Theme: Norse/Viking, Contents in order they appear. A hexmap through a set of islands/ocean with some encounter tables. 2 New Classes, the Sea Wolf (Raider type), and Seer, a limited caster. "Nord" Backgrounds. Description of 3 Gods. Odin, Freya, Loki. New Gear, 2 Weapons, 1 Shield with a new property type 'Sundering' that lets you sacrifice the item in place of being hit. Boats! Rules covering size, movement, and other properties of boats, ranging from a Raft, to a Galleon. Oaths! A page going over an oath, with 3 examples of how this can work. Its an example more than anything. 3 page 0 level gauntlet with map and key. 2 Page, Arctic Sea encounters (d100, like the core book ones) Seer Spell List. 4 spells available per tier (5 tiers of course) new or mostly new at a glance. 3 pages of hex key 12 Monsters themed to the book. 17 page adventure gauntlet, with key and map. 20 item back cover of treasure ideas. Splitting the difference between spells and new rules, this one has Boats and some additional content, but not nearly as much as CS2, to give room for the Seer List. Personally, I'm partial to CS2 as a game supplement, CS1 as an adventure, but CS3 is not bad at all, doing a little bit of everything with that strong norse "nord" flavour. Oh and there is a review of the adventure from CS1, here. [URL unfurl="true"]https://tenfootpole.org/ironspike/?p=7754[/URL] [/QUOTE]
