What it is about
THE SUN-GULPERS SOLO GAME BOOK FOR SHADOWDARK RPG
A Shadowdark RPG digest-sized solo/duet gamebook adventure where you read and choose one of several story paths, adventuring and progressing as you go.
Multiple endings and multiple ways to succeed or fail.
Play with your own Shadowdark character!
The Sun Gulpers is a fantasy gamebook designed for readers 12 and older, both as an accessible way to learn Shadowdark and as a storybook adventure in its own right. Sun Gulpers is the first Legendary Worlds gamebook. My long-term Legendary Worlds goal is a series of gamebooks where you can continue adventuring with the same character, gaining XP, treasure, magic items, and lore.
WHY SOLO GAMEBOOKS?
I loved reading Rose Estes's Endless Quest books, such as Mountain of Mirrors and Return to Brookmere, Dave Morris's Eye of the Dragon, Joe Dever's Lone Wolf story books, and many other solo game books from the 1980s.
My goal is to create a high-quality gamebook you can enjoy solo, and it also serves as a duet adventure where one GM can guide one player through a Shadowdark experience. While aimed at Shadowdark fans, you can easily adapt Sun Gulpers to OSE or OSRIC.
