Letters from the Dark Vol. IV: Borderlands

The all-time best selling Shadowdark title on DriveThruRPG!

Where the realms of Law and Chaos collide lie the Borderlands: war-torn wilds yearning to be explored and settled.

Your adventuring party has been hired to clear out a Borderlands keep infested with monsters. Once empty, it falls upon you to rebuild the keep and explore the surrounding area.

This third-party supplement for Shadowdark RPG is especially designed for new players and new GMs. It includes:

• Darlan Keep: A randomized 1st-level dungeon that plays differently every time.
• The Borderlands: A wilderness region for the players to explore and plunder.
• Caverns of Kowse: A multi-faction dungeon filled with rival Forces of Chaos.
• Hirelings and Mercenaries: Rules for hiring NPCs as allies.
• Keep-building: A system to spend gold to improve your party’s home base.
• West Marches: Advice on running an episodic open-table game using Shadowdark rules.

An optional supplement is available for this title: Letters from the Dark: Mercenaries. It includes 48 pre-generated mercenaries with artwork by Patrice Long, as well as a table to randomly select a mercenary.
