This is really cool solo content! I'm not sure which covers you were riffing off, but the scenario is interesting.

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.
