The latest and no doubt final update! I have a couple of spots left if anyone wants to play - no experience necessary! This is a beginner friendly adventure hosted on Roll20 and Discord. There are 6 pre-generated characters already set up (3 confirmed players so far looking for at least another 2, maybe 3). The game will start at 8.00pm AEDT (UTC+11) Saturday. PM me if you wanna join in the mayhem and I'll send the appropriate links.

The blurb to my regular group:

Howdy Pardners!

Here be a map I be fixin' for a Pulp Cthulhu, Down Darker trails one-shot I be runnin' on Saturday evening on that new fangled virtual tabletop thingy, Roll20...It ain't too bad but I'm sure there's stuff that needs a fixin'.

The adventure is set in New Mexico around 1871.

Good God man! Have you gone mapping crazy! These are awesome and, unlike most things these days, we have quantity AND quality. Superb job Ricko.

Here's a bit of an update...

I'm going to have to look at some other symbol sets to keep the rooms as per the descriptions as much as possible.

Well, I shall have to keep an eye out for it then. The problem is, as I'm sure you'd appreciate, there are only so many adventures one can run. At the moment, with one group, we've just finished CH1 of A Cold Fire Within (with me as Keeper), when we finish that, one of the players, if you're in the UK you may know or heard of him, Nigel Clarke, has Two Headed Serpent which he is going to run for us.

For the other group, we primarily play Pathfinder (which is a bit, meh, as far as I'm concerned but I play to hang out with the guys) and when the regular GM is unavailable, I'm starting to run Cthulhu games and it's this group I was looking at 'Shadows' for.

Then of course, there's the additional cost; I assume it will be around $60-90 AUD for the PDF and double that for dead-tree version, when I already have a copy - albeit an 'inferior', and I use the term kindly here, version - it's a little hard to justify to the Ministry of Finances...
