    Instantly clicked on this video! Thanks so much for the mention, JP. I actually used these tables to inspire the layout and some contents of the first dungeon I wrote for the book :)

      Can’t wait to see the dungeons you cooked up and to make some of my own with Delve!

      I thought you'd like to know that after sitting on the fence about Delve, and then watching this video, I backed your Kickstarter for the Shadowdark version

    The shadow dark generation has been so helpful in my home games. It gives you just enough prompt to kickstart your imagination.

    GREAT video as usual, JP! Thanks so much for the shout-out. I truly feel honored to be mentioned next to Sly Flourish/Mike Shea!

    Shadowdark is a fun game and a wonderful resource for running games "on the fly". I love how it all connects logically. Your map-making plan is a great mind map. I taught high school for 31 years and mind mapping is an invaluable organizational skill. It's nice to see it put to such great use here.

    That's surprisingly well done random table for a core rulebook ... I usually use story dice but the way you build your dungeon is very nice. ...

    Don't forget to make a 2d6 random encounter table.

    just WOW, love this stuff. I play 5E but love OSR stuff, Mork Borg, DCC, ICRPG and EZd6. Hoping Shadowdark is next :) I love what you do!

    My Flik Silverpen’s drawing guide came in the mail today and I was surprised to also get your printed dungeon on a 5x7 card in color! You need to sell a set of these JP. Great one-shots for an evening of SD, D&D, etc Such a wonderful idea! Thx. 👍🏼

    • @mikehallaron
      @mikehallaron หลายเดือนก่อน

      Sell the set in a custom ‘recipe box’ for quick, fun GM session planning.

    Great reminder of the charts. Almost ran an impromptu OSE or Shadowdark game last night but thankfully we ended up with enough guys to play our regular 5E campaign. Was getting anxious for a bit because I didn't have a time to try and pull together a pre-written game and could have just randomly generated a dungeon for the guys to explore if I would have thought about using the charts like this. Next time I will be ready!

    You have likely given us enough to finish it out on our own, but I am guessing that you will do a nicer job than I could, so sure, please do it all up nicely so we may play in your dungeon.
    Cheers!

    I want to see you clean up the map with lots of cool details, but use your own art and monster designs to create the enemies and bosses.

    I bought a few of Kelsey's games before Shadowdark, and they are so easy to pick up and play, she is a very talented writer/game designer. When I saw the Shadowdark Kickstarter I had to back it! Maybe the tidy version could be one of your zines for the month? 😁

    • @JPCoovert
      @JPCoovert  หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Yes! Can't wait for more of her adventures in the new Cursed Scroll zines!
      This dungeon will probably end up in a zine later this year ;)

    You are so energetic it is obvious you love what you do. It is inspiring. I can't wait for your Kickstarter; you said it was coming soon what feels like months ago. I keep looking for it thinking I might have missed it. When the kickstarter comes out will your other books be available to get from the kickstarter as well? I really want to support you and I think I will enjoy and love using your products.
    I would love for you to clean up the map and notes to then make them available to download. That would be awesome!

    I just became a patreon and I LOVE all your content. I love your drawing style; i've been practising myself by drawing magic item cards. Nowhere near the quality of your work but i would have never thought it would turn out this fine.
    Your zines are amazing, the style, the content, everything. I just wanted to let you know; keep it up. I love it a lot! Thank you

      “Find the vampire who is murdering the townsfolk” was the actual prompt I rolled :P

    I just knocked out an entire low level sandbox using the generator in a few hours, and throwing out about 1/3 , but that used to take a week!
    Are we going to see a play of your dungeon?
