A New Game?

I've been wanting to run something for a few years now. Unfortunately, I given my current living situation, it didn't seem right to try. Since I'm going to be working again soon I've started looking for a place to rent. If that happens I will definitely start running a game. While I have many games I want to run, including DCC supers and D&D 2024, I think I'm going to go with Shadowdark RPG. I know it was the new hotness a few years ago and I still see a lot of buzz about it online. I've not played it, but I do own the core book and the first three official zines. 

Since I never got use use Punjar with DCC, I thought I might make it the primary city for the game. I'll go through the gazetteer I have and Shadowdark-ify it. I also just got my pdf copy of Into the Cess and Citadel and I know it will be a fantastic resource. This will also be a great time to break out my wood miniatures from SeveredBooks. I grabbed the ones pictured below at Origins last year, but I've gotten several more sets since then.

Have you played Shadowdark? If so, what are your thoughts? Also, if you haven't looked at the game, the quickstart is free.

5E Sellswords of Punjar - The Gate of Shade

This is my conversion of area 1-1 of Sellwords of Punjar. As I said before, for more info, pick up the adventure.

Gate of Shade

The gate that leads into Cutpurse Alley is locked. The lock is in a devilish maw. A Perception check (DC 15)  lets them notices that the lock is trapped. It can be unlocked if with a Dexterity check (DC 20). A failed check triggers a trap that causes the maw to snap closed on the would-be-thief's hand. The character takes 1d6 damage and gains the grappled condition. The trap then makes the following attack:

Poison Needle. Melee Weapon Attack. +4 to hit. Hit: 2 (1d4) piercing damage and target must make a Constitution save (DC 20) or be infected with Shadowstuff toxin.

The character then has 4 rounds to pry their hand from the trap (Strength check DC 20) before they are infected with Shadowstuff toxin (no save). Another player made aid the character in removing their hand (thereby granting the character advantage).

Characters can bypass the lock and attempt to climb the gate, but that isn't without danger. A Perception check (DC 15) will allow a character to notice hidden firing mechanisms on the gate. The mechanisms can be disabled with a Dexterity Check (DC 20). If they are not the gate makes the following attack against creatures attempting the climb.


Spear. Melee Weapon Attack. +4 to hit. Hit: 5 (1d6+2) piercing damage.

Shadowstuff Toxin
Very Rare Poison

The Constitution saving throw against Shadowstuff Toxin is DC 20. Players affected by Shadowstuff toxin must track their failed saving throws and make a new saving throw every hour, as the poison alters their very being. Elves and other fey creatures are somewhat resistant to the toxin and instead take 5 poison damage.  They must still make a new saving throw every hour and continue taking 5 poison damage on every failed save.

First Failed Save: The victims skin and eyes turn slate grey.

Second Failed Save: Shadows cling to the victim; they have advantage to Stealth checks made in shadow or dark conditions.

Third Failed Save: The victim has one less HD to spend for healing during short rests.

Fourth Failed Save: The victim begins to flicker from existence; they gain a +2 to AC.

Fifth Failed Save:  The victim fades to shadowy wisps. They may still be brought back to via a rare ritual that must be performed in conjunction with resurrection magic.

Special: A successful saving throw halts the progression of Shadowstuff toxin, though the victim retains all advantages and disadvantages suffered until that point. These poison (and its effects) can be purged from one's system if Shadowstuff antidote is taken. Unfortunately Shadowstuff antidote is even more rare than the poison.

5E Sellswords of Punjar - Umbra Bat Swarm

Depending on my drive and ethic this may take a while, but I am planning on converting the Punjar material I have to 5E. I'm starting with Sellswords of Punjar. If you want descriptions of the monsters and traps I stat out, you need to see the adventure.

I thought about trying to complete different sections of the book and compile them into a word document before I post them. Instead I'm just going to post monster and trap stats as I go. When I've finished I probably will compile everything into one document.

The Tarnished Jewel

"Punjar...

Throughout the Known World, no city is half so notorious. Blackened by fire, soiled by pestilence, and scarred by war, its sandy collection of spiderwebbed tenements and rat-ridden bazaars have birthed some of the worst rogues and villains to ever stalk the storied thrones of the north.
But Punjar is also a city of chance and adventure, where fortunes are won in a night and lost before dawn. Where gems glint and flare in the lamplight, the might of magic knows no bounds, and a warrior's quick blade and shirt of mail are his best defense.

So loosen your sword, keep a hand on your coin pouch, and take these first steps into its shadowy, torch-lit streets. A black mist is rolling in off the salt marsh, and the ancient city beckons...

Welcome to Punjar, The Tarnished Jewel!"

Punjar is a city that I've been in love with since the early days of 4E. I snagged a copy of Punjar: The Tarnished Jewel on Free RPGDay 2008. It's just a dirty city with a lot of character, much like a Freeport (one of my other loves), just without the piracy (but with the evil of slavery which is something forbidden in Freeport).

I've picked up all of the Punjar adventure path (pictured above). I also have a few Dungeon Crawl Classics adventures that feature the city, notably Jewels of Carnifax, Mists of Madness, and The Jeweler That Dealt in Stardust. According to the blurb on their latest DCC Kickstarter, Harley Stroh is doing a Punjar city setting.

While I am planning on running Tyranny of Dragons for my first 5E game, I think Punjar is a setting I'd really like to use for my second. I will probably start converting the Punjar adventures I have (monster, magic items, and traps) to 5E and posting them here.
