120 descriptions to breathe life into your underground world.

 

Bring new excitement to your subterranean adventures by adding short "bits" of description and colorful settings. The descriptions are designed so that they can be randomly generated as you play or placed carefully in advance, to challenge your players.


Bits of Darkness: Caverns is written to be of use to both experienced and inexperienced Game Masters, particularly those who (for whatever reason) find themselves short on time or creativity. This is created to be an "on the go" product, which means you don't need to read the entire work before you can use it.

This book includes 100 Bits of description, and 20 Shards. The Bits are small pieces that can be stuck in, anywhere a little description is needed, and are numbered so they can be used randomly. Shards are slightly larger, and may depict a particular place or event, or set a feel for an area. The material is also indexed a number of ways to allow a GM to easily find a description to fit a particular circumstance. Each Bit is also provided in index card format for ease of use by Game Masters.

As a special bonus, we have included a brief description of the way caverns are formed and information on the real-world and fantasy aspects of cave exploration. There are also two new Swarms – cave beetles and serpents. In addition, some descriptions are graphically depicted in the excellent interior art by the Carmona Brothers.

Bits of Darkness: Caverns uses material from the SRD, but could be used in any fantasy setting with very minor modifications.

This is part of the “Harried Game Master” line of products, providing the materials we’ve always wished to have.
Augment your imagination with products from Tabletop Adventures.

35 pages plus index cards; 53 pages total.

So good! I spent 30 minutes reading Caverns and now I can't help but scoop up all the rest. The descriptions are modular, generic (in the good way), rich, and grounded in an appreciation for the inherent drama of the environment. This is per [...]

As a DM the problem I come up with is I don't have varied enough descriptions of areas and with this product our caves and tunnels are no longer plain but have a pop that makes the players search extra because the area had a wonderful description. [...]

"Bits of Darkness: Caverns" is a handy product that I will be making good use of in my home campaign. The bulk of the pages is devoted to a list of twenty "Cavern Shards" and 100 "Cavern Bits," each one a description of a [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
