I really like the layout and the art work. the concept of using ACTS is quite insteresting an a forgein concept to me. Great work!
This is really cool solo content! I'm not sure which covers you were riffing off, but the scenario is interesting.
I love solo adventures!
It's a very dark, compelling concept. The acts might be prescriptive in how they progress, but the storytelling is excellent.
I might prefer to be directly pointed to a Shadowdark table or have the encounter tables be fully curated rather than a mix of the two. Fully custom ones could also ensure a medieval England vibe (which I love).
Interesting offer here... I'm not sure which covers or elements connect to the Weird Tales.
As a Solodark offer, it doesn't seem to offer much in terms of solo player discovery.
But there are some cool story ideas and NPCs here that I could mine for inspiration.
Sure, but I thought we were supposed to be inspired by, but not copy the cover art of Weird Tales. Thanks for the comments!
This is a really unique setup for a solo adventure! Running Shadowdark in Medieval England is a really neat concept. I hope to see more historical settings using the system.
