Shadowdark: Stocking A Dungeon Example

[Reynard]

Just wanted to add that every time I see this thread title in the forum list, I read it as "Shadowdark: a Shocking Dungeon Example."

The players definitely thought the sci-fi dungeon was shocking.

Granted I have not seen the 5E tables, but my preference is to start from the stocking tables from B/X and AD&D. Monsters by "dungeon level" followed by monsters by biome. That said, I do like how 5E simplified the biomes overall, so you can keep it down to a more manageable number of tables.

Yep. The olde 1e AD&D tables was the inspiration for how the tables are set up in the publication, just using the 5e monsters and encounters. I’ll try to post a link to it later.

Well then that's immediately of interest! Didn't realize that.

And indeed should make a SD conversion relatively easier, as the monster list is a lot closer than AD&D's list.

I just realized that this is now 10 year old. Good timing to create a version for Shadowdark!
