The World Above

Hex Crawling

Create an overland hex map using the circular loop system described on page 132 of the ShadowDark core rules. However, we recommend that each hex has a point of interest (instead of a 1-in-6 chance) and a 1-in-20 chance of a dungeon.

Points of Interest. d20 tables to generate points of interest by terrain type. Roll separately for location and development to provide maximum variation. Results can include hazards and settlements (see below).
Terrain Hazards. 2d6 tables to create environmental dangers. Beyond the points of interest tables, you can also assign hazards to any terrain as desired to raise the threat to the PCs.
Settlements. d10 and d12 tables to generate settlements. Roll size randomly if desired or use the suggested size in the points of interest tables. These tables support 10 settlement sizes and 10 district types. d12 district tables produce even greater variation than the core rulebook.
Shops. If the district table gives a shop result, you can roll it on these expanded d20 tables to produce greater variation and exciting new results.
Taverns. If the district table gives a tavern result, you can roll it on these expanded d20 tables to produce greater variation and exciting new results. All new names, menu items, and drinks.
Farkle. Rules for a dice gambling game to use as an alternative to Wizards and Thieves.
Acts of Devotion. A religious alternative to carousing with excess wealth. Spread your faith to the community around you.
Combat Training. A warrior’s alternative to carousing with excess wealth. Learn new combat techniques in a tourney melee.
Magical Study. An arcane alternative to carousing with excess wealth. Dive deep into arcane knowledge to expand your magical ability.

Terrain Hazards

Hazards are a passive threat to adventurers. Unlike traps, you cannot avoid triggering them. They are often impossible to permanently destroy or disable. The fury of mother nature cannot be stopped by mere mortals. Choose the hazard’s severity and use it to guide you on the strength of the challenge.

Minor. Challenging for parties of average level 0-2.
Normal. Challenging for parties of average level 3-6.
Major. Challenging for parties of average level 7+.

Movement. Some hazards restrict or prevent movement. These hazards consume time and resources (like torches). Some hazards can even fully entrap characters. Without help, they will die when they run out of food and/or water.

Damage. Some hazards deal damage, either in a single hit or continuously every round. If this reduces a PC to zero HP, roll a death timer.

Weakening. Some hazards weaken, confuse, or impair the characters. For example, it might limit their senses in some way.

Combining. If you roll doubles (such as two 6s), combine all hazards on that row into a single extremely dangerous hazard.

Draw a shape around each die on the paper. Compare the die result to the district type chart to determine what kind of district exists in the area. Then draw lines through these shapes to create a network of streets.

Shops

Poor Shops If you rolled a shop as a point of interest in a settlement district, roll a d20 on these charts to determine the type of shop. Interpret the presence of the shop as an indication of strong demand for what is being sold. For example, if the Hatter is a point of interest, that must mean the residents are frequently wearing hats in public. Use these cues to guide your descriptions of the settlement overall. Each settlement should feel unique. These are not mundane details. They help immerse the players in the world.

Farkle

Farkle is a two-player dice game that can be enjoyed in most taverns. The standard wager is 3 gp, but experienced gamblers may want to put more at stake. Be aware that the dice are fickle, and you can easily lose great sums in a moment of bad luck. Each player rolls six dice and whoever has the highest total goes first. From that point on, players then alternate turns. The active player rolls all six dice. They must then choose to score one or more dice (based on the criteria below).

Scoring:

1 is worth 10 points.
5 is worth 5 points.
Three of a kind is worth 10 x the number shown. Three 3s would be worth 30 points.
Four of a kind is worth double that value. Making four 3s worth 60 points (30 x 2).
Five of a kind is worth double again. Making five 3s worth 120 points (60 x 2).
If a player cannot score using any of the dice rolled (a bust), their turn ends. Play passes to the other player and no points are saved that round.

Decision Point:

After scoring, the player must choose to either stay or press their luck.
If they stay, the points scored on this turn are recorded and saved. If this gives them 250+ points, they win the game. If not, play passes to the other player.
If they press their luck, they can collect the unscored dice and re-roll them. If all dice were just scored, they can make this re-roll with a full set of six dice.
However, if the player busts while pressing their luck, all points rolled previously on that turn will be lost. The player must evaluate whether pressing their luck is a worthwhile strategy. The game can be won by slowly building up saved points or blitzing forward with a few high-scoring rolls.

Bead of the Glacier

Hard opaque white marble-size bead that always accumulates a layer of frost on the surface.

Benefit. When crushed, the bead causes thick white fog to stream forth and expand outward to fill a volume of 10,000 cubic feet (Ten 10’ dungeon squares, assuming a normal ceiling height). The fog will fade after 10 rounds, but it can move or disperse if affected by strong wind. Anyone within the cloud area takes 2d6 cold damage per round.

Bead of Terror

A pitch-black marble-size bead that feels unnatural to the touch.

Benefit. When crushed, the bead extends a well of magical darkness out to a near radius.

Ghostly semi-transparent strip of cloth that is cool to the touch.

Benefit. 1/day, when placed over the user’s eyes, they experience the most extreme emotional event that occurred within 30 feet of their location. Anger, arguments, and violence are typical results. The user will not be told when the event occurred, but they may be able to infer things based on who is involved, their mode of dress, and similar clues. Essentially permanent objects like rocks and metal may trigger largely useless memories from centuries past.

The belief must be attached to a real event and draw a conclusion about the true meaning of what happened. For example, people could be made to think that the King’s recent tax increase is a sign of demonic control. Since the tax increase is real, the poor logic of the conclusion sticks in the mind. It is held with the conviction of a memory and can only be removed with Dispel Magic.
