    No one hunts like Gaspar, no one jumps like Gaspar!

    These kind of verbal walkthroughs are so important for people like me who mostly have free time only when they're commuting. I can't read through an adventure while I'm driving. But I can listen to someone talk through it for me.
    I'm definitely going to run this adventure now thanks to this video.

    I loved running through this adventure as a player! Thank you for the creator’s eye view of the inner workings.

    I love your adventure walkthroughs - great detail, advice, and insight. I know not everyone learns this way, but I do!

    Short sandboxy dungeon with factions and "living" inhabitants on the move without being tough to track
    I think this could be a really great adventure for first timers, reminds me of what was really awesome about Sunless Citadel
    I also have a special weakness for magical gemstone eyes of terrible consequence. There's that old AD&D cover art, the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser story, the Skyrim Thieves Guild quest that pays homage to both, it's really evocative

    I cannot begin to tell you how important your videos are I don't have a lot of free time and I'm moving about throughout the day especially driving and I can listen to these videos and get an idea the day before I run something. It's very very helpful.

    • @TheArcaneLibrary

    I used to say it "dwer-gar" (like "swear"), until I saw Van Helsing, where they correctly said "DOO-er-gar." Considering I had the Dragon magazine with the pronunciation guide, and used it frequently, I should have known. But grey dwarves works. Or bad dwarves. "Bad dwarves, bad dwarves, what you gonna do..."

    I ran your Lost Leprechaun Hollow mini adventure last week at an event for some of my college students and it was a *HOOT*. You've got me excited about this one now too, I will have to pull the zine off of the shelf :)

  • @macoppy6571
    @macoppy6571 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Excellent ideas for running a two faction dungeon. Each primary faction gets a level of the dungeon; the presence of a lore dump npc that is also very dangerous if crossed; a Rakshasa {shapeshifter} working for the spell-casting faction as a spy. One should buy the module in respect, but steal these ideas for one's table.

    Love the eyes of the iron golem intrigue - can just see the PCs becoming power brokers if they can get them. The rebellion option too - lots of PC agency. When I started watching this - I thought 'oh no, a dungeon crawl, yawn' - but glad I watched on as the adventure looks really open with shed loads of roleplaying (as well as combat of course).

    • @xavierp7658
      @xavierp7658 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      Good dungeon crawls have that nuance. Bad dungeon crawls are just a series of combat encounters in adjoining rooms

    Interesting. 🤔 I've had the same gong idea that's present in this dungeon since the 90s. 😊 It's very different tho. Just placing this comment here for posterity.

    • @TheArcaneLibrary
      @TheArcaneLibrary  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I’m glad to see the threat of a gong is a time-vetted idea!

  • @knghtbrd
    @knghtbrd 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Okay, somewhere in this dungeon, someone's going to be disguised as a car-a BARREL-that tries to only move when you're not looking at it. I know what my players want.

    New to shadowdark. What does it mean levels 1-3 or 2-5. Is it a challenge thing like hard to easy

    • @TheArcaneLibrary
      @TheArcaneLibrary  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It’s a challenge thing! The adventure is written for characters of that level range.

    If the players throw a ball, will the hell hounds chase after it?

    @TheArcaneLibrary - your most hard-core supporter on TH-cam! for us die-hard crawlers is @RedMageGM. I would LOVE to hear him interview you about what YOU believe makes for great design for Shadowdark adventures or supplements! His channel is inspiring my friends and I to purchase SD content on DriveThru like no one else!
