Hello there gents ( and ladies)

I figured I would share my Low magic campaign it is simply called

" Dark City"

it is Pathfinder based , and uses a low magic system, wound thresholds, and a madness, despair, insanity checks.

It is meant to have a certain old school ravenloft feel to the campaign. I have some background material already written for the campaign and some basic rules and other bits in pdf form on my web site and it is all free to use.

Go to Dark City- site.


Quick question: did you make the city map, and if so, with what program?


Great to see that free stuff :)

clipart modded with MS paint...

nothing too fancy


But I don't see Shell Beach on the map.

And it would be a pain in the ass to completely remake your character each day.

Or is this a different Dark City?

Have you play tested these rules? Given the amount of combat in your average game, this looks really lethal. Are PCs expected to be disposable a la Call of Cthulu?

Does Mom know you're up this late, dammit?? ;)

And Philo, I am thoroughly amused. It is, after all, exactly what I thought too.

we have played 12 sessions so far..

lvls 1-3 there will be some ( run away moments)
don't forget there is some alchemical healing available...

lvl 4-6 - the battles become much more interesting - paladin is now a major healer ( lay on hands and heal check to aid companions, when not fighting).

the fights become much more planned out.. the party will retreat to a corridor if they are outnumbered, fighters now have a much more defined role ( due to lack of magic)

rogue in the party is very careful to wait for right moment to backstab- which hugely helps out fighter.
