Tabletop roleplaying game players looking to hunt classic Dungeons & Dragons-style monsters can look forward to an upcoming bestiary expansion for Shadowdark. D&D has long sculpted the tabletop genre's monster design, and this upcoming release brings those iconic beasties into the world of OSR (Old School Renaissance) gaming.
While D&D heavily influenced tabletop mechanics by drawing from pulp fiction and high fantasy, its monstrous denizens shaped the look and feel of fantasy creatures across the medium. Shadowdark follows in those footsteps with its new expansion.
The upcoming bestiary was detailed in coverage from Wargamer, highlighting how the project adapts classic adversaries for the system. Additional tabletop news from the same reporting window includes a look at how horror TTRPGs handle sensitive themes like toxic relationships, a massive 1,100% price spike for the old Magic: The Gathering card Battle of Wits, and a review of the cooperative board game Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship.
