Dark Forest Campaign Setting

Welcome to Dark Forest, a new campaign setting book for the Shadowdark RPG, which is a streamlined, grittier version of D&D. Dark Forest is a realm tainted with ancient magic and plagued with evil, where furred and feathered animal folk strive against the ever-present forces of chaos and corruption. Think Redwall in a grimdark world of magic and monsters.

In Dark Forest, you won’t just brave dungeons; you’ll navigate the groves of colossal trees, hidden abbey crypts, and long-forgotten ruins —all while playing an otter warrior, owlfolk sage, a mouse warmonk, or one of many other ancestry/class combinations.
