Densely packed 0-level gauntlet with a great narrative (who doesn't love slimes?)
Color coding and highlighting within the text is super helpful (also, I'm gonna say it, I like the fonts).
Lots of puzzles and traps to interact with.
Pretty comprehensive bestiary (including Mutant Baby!).
Worth checking out for sure!

This is great! I didn't love the font and tight spacing but you did a great job.

Shadowdark Desert ToolkitGreat game, brilliant work that you’ve done on the story, maps, and the tables.
Any chance you could put a better font for reading in there. If you google “easy to read fonts” or “fonts for dyslexia” you’ll pick up on what I mean. Anything sans serif. The Shadowdark RPG book does this well.
Apart from this cosmetic suggestion, you’ve done really well, and I can see the thought and effort that you’ve put in. I particularly like the Cursed Items table.
Thank you so much for your great feedback!
I know exactly what you mean. I have Open-dyslexic and Atkinson Hyperlegible on my computer as default because I need them too - I’m second in a line of 3 generations of dyslexics. I will ensure all future games of mine have a readable version. Let me know how this goes - I’ve used Atkinson for body text because it’s a little more compact and Open-dyslexic for headings.
