A downloadable adventure

“In the town of Harrowshade, tucked away in northern Grift, a somber gloom engulfs the lives of the inhabitants.

The decaying mansion of a sick and twisted lord stands as a testament to his malevolence, while the empty church echoes with whispers of lost faith and haunting guilt.

Crops wither, livestock vanish, and an air of despair taints every breath.”



Harrowshade is returning in a refined and expanded physical print edition. The original release, over two years old, was a raw experiment, a grim, 30-page glimpse into decay. Now, thanks to editorial fixes, new designs, and a wealth of added content, it has grown into a 60+ page tome of paths to follow, rumours to uncover, events that shape the world, and creatures that lurk in the dark.  


Why

To bring this new and improved edition to life, I’m launching a Kickstarter to fund printing, professional editing and distribution. This will ensure the final version reaches its full, miserable potential and makes it into your hands with the quality it deserves.  

Follow the Kickstarter page to stay updated, support the project, and help bring Harrowshade into the physical world. Embrace the ruin. And remember, you will die alone.

Exciting! Will this PDF be updated to reflect the new content?

Thanks! So glad you are excited and hope you will be able to get a physical copy finally, if that’s your jam.

It will be added to itch, there maybe a small difference to pay because of the new content (about twice the size, as well as professional editing and complete redesign).

I am not sure yet if that will be this page or a new one where a discount can be added for holders of the original version.

Been having a blast running through this finally, my poor character has had a hell of a day but when running through an alley I noticed the d12 chart on page 5 for condition is missing an entry for 10. Just going to rule it as a reroll for now but Solitary Depths has rules for a random event 

oh thanks for that, I will get a fix up as soon as I can

Happy to hear you are having a good time with it

Added updated versions, thanks again for pointing that out

That was crazy quick! I would have never noticed if I didn't roll a 10 on it

Hi, thank you for this awesome adventure! Is there any chance you could add a low colour version of the print ready layout as well?

Glad you like it, here are the print ready versions https://unitsix.itch.io/mork-borg-adventure-harrowshade/devlog/566431/low-colour-print-ready-versions-added

Thank you so much! :)

I’d love to buy this, yet I can’t because I can’t use PayPal. Is there any physical copies available through distros like Exalted Funeral where I can order it? 

I hadn’t planned on it, but will look into what it takes 

This looks amazing!  I liked it so much that I bought it!  I love the artwork. I’m excited for more from you. 

thank you so much

Hi ! Do I need "Solitary Defilement" to play this module ? That's look really cool.

Hey, there are a couple of references to SD in some tables. I would certainly say it’s preferred, but if you have another solo play system you might be able swap it out.

thanks !

I won't have a chance to look through this with any detail until later this week, but page 16 - your big d6 number layer is obscured by the secondary d6 charts. Also, any chance you can invert some of the black background pages to white w/ black text for print and play? I think a lot of people do booklet printing through adobe acrobat with standard page pdfs (not spreads) and its nice not having the backgrounds for those.

My first impression of this - it looks awesome and I can't wait to give it a playthrough.

Hey, thanks for supporting! Page 16 was actually a design choice.

Sure I can swap out some of the black backgrounds. Give me some time and I will push the file up.

Low colour version added 👍
