A downloadable book

A fey-realm setting for use with Shadowdark RPG. 

Welcome to the Golden Afternoon, a realm of enchantment and wonder unlike any other. Prepare to embark on a journey through a land torn from the pages of a storybook, where imagination knows no bounds and the extraordinary becomes commonplace.

Add some storybook whimsy to your campaign with 3 new character ancestries (garden gnome, anthropoid, and living construct), a d20 table of fairy tale inspired backgrounds and a bestiary of Frumious Monsters and Manxome Foes. With much more to come!

Note: this field guide is a work in progress. Minimal playtesting has been completed at this time and all content is subject to change. Feedback is greatly appreciated. If you like what you see or have any constructive feedback, please comment below.

Loving what I see here.

Thanks for your interest. Chapter 1 is on the way! I hope to have it posted sometime in the next week or so. It  includes an introduction to the setting and a random table of ways to get to the Golden Afternoon. 

edit: okay, so chapter 1 may be further out than I thought. I keep getting distracted with monsters, magic items, and madness mechanics. I still hope to get Ch 1 out before too long...

It's finally here! Chapter 1 has arrived. Sorry it's not very long so may not have been worth the wait, but don't worry. More is on the way
