Dead in the Dark

Dead in the Dark – A Grimdark Survival Horror Module for Shadowdark RPG

Trapped in a forsaken manor deep within the Deadlands, the only thing between you and an endless tide of the undead is crumbling walls, dwindling supplies, and your own wits. Dead in the Dark is a brutal survival horror module inspired by Dawn of the Dead, where players must endure multiple nights of relentless undead assaults, scavenge for resources, and uncover a means of escape—if one even exists.

► Ideal for Levels 1-3, or 0-Level Gauntlet!
► Can scale Zombie Horde generator for higher level play! How long can you last?

This module features:
► A dynamic siege experience – Barricade doors, reinforce windows, and fight tooth and nail to survive the night.
► Exploration-driven horror – The Deadlands hold terrible secrets, hidden magic, and long-forgotten paths that might just lead to salvation.
► New monsters & magic items – Wield occult relics against the dead, but beware their curses.
►d100 tables for survival horror gameplay – Random events, desperate finds, and grisly fates.
► A hex map for open-ended play – Brave the nightmare beyond the manor… if you dare.
► Optional Level-0 Gauntlet Mode – Throw hapless survivors into the horror and see who (if anyone) makes it out alive.

The dead do not tire. The dead do not wait. Can you outlast the darkness?
