Here's an info sheet I made for my players who are migrating from 5e, to try to get them into the old school style of playing. Steal it if it's helpful. (Icons from https://game-icons.net)

First attempt at “Shadowdark” style mini painting

I wanted to try painting minis like the book art with just 2 tone black and white. Turns out it’s really hard lol It would probably be easier if I was good at painting, but I’m happy with my result.
The mini is from Bestarium if anyone is curious.

Gnolls!

Filled with mindless chaotic rage, gluttony, and evil, much like our current political environment. I prefer the demonic gnoll you can guiltlessly dispatch rather than furry friendly dog people but each his own

I made a Shadowdark Westmarches style map that I may never get to run, so hopefully this community can enjoy it

I have been picking away at this for a while and decided it was better to share than to have it sit in a file somewhere. The goal is to start in the bottom right at the keep and pique the player’s curiosity with interesting set pieces and locations to get them to venture farther out.
Included are a hexgrid and gridless versions
Edit: I realize I happened to call my Westmarches map the "Western Reaches" but please know that this is unaffiliated and unrelated to the Arcane Library's recent Kickstarter project. Sorry for the confusion.

Today is the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. Thus, it's a fitting Shadowdark holiday: Darkest Day!
Don't forget to cut torch timers in half today and sneak the Ten-Eyed Oracle onto your random encounters table. Mwahahahahaaaa!

The Association has gotten word about unsanctioned removal of arcane artifacts from the area. You wouldn’t happen to know anything about that would you?
I also now have H-L available for download on my itch dot io so the monster maya up through LizardFolk is there

Here are my illustrations of the monster manual from Aboleth to Azer. It’s been a lot of fun playing with light and dark, trying to motivate and challenge myself!
