Rangers of Shadow Deep: A Tabletop Adventure Game

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Please Note: This is the original edition of the game. While it is stil usuable, and contains all of the information needed to play, a Deluxe Edition, produced by Modiphius is now available on this site and soon in print, which incorporates the rules update, some of the supplementary material, and additional artwork. You can order this here.

A kingdom stands on the brink of destruction, as the vast realm called the Shadow Deep slowly swallows everything in its path. As the army fights to contain the tide of evil creatures teeming up out of the black clouds, the kingdom’s best soldiers, the rangers, must venture down into the shadows to gather information, rescue prisoners, and ambush enemy supply lines. It is a desperate fight against overwhelming odds, but every little victory brings another day of hope.

Rangers of Shadow Deep is a solo and co-operative tabletop miniatures game, in which players create their ranger, gather companions, and play through a series of missions in their fight to hold back the darkness. If their rangers survive, they will grow in power and ability, and be sent on more difficult, dangerous and intricate assignments.

This book also includes the first supplement for the game, Burning Light. In this mission, the rangers must venture to ruined convent, searching for an ancient artefact. As they choose what order to explore the ruins, and thus the order in which scenarios are played, they must gather clues to the artefact’s location. But they must be quick, for the longer they remain, the more the forces of the Shadow Deep become aware of their presence.

By the creator of Frostgrave and Ghost Archipelago.

Hi, new player here setting up the party for my very first solo campaign in the Shadow Deep setting. Got a couple of questions.

1.Which order would you recommend to buy/play the additional scenarios (Blood Moon, Incinerator, etc...)?
2.In some expansions, there are new companions, monsters, and weapons. Is it useful to buy the expansions to include these additions from the beginning?
3.How easy is it to integrate these additions in other scenarios?

Would it be possible for this to be available as print on demand again? I'd like to grab a copy so I can have the original edition as well.

It looks like currently you can't purchase a print version of this book at all from anywhere? We need to wait for the deluxe version and no one seems to know when that comes out, is this correct?

I honestly don't know. It's a PDF, so it should work the same as other PDFs on your phone.

I guess you can't get physical copies (hardcover or otherwise) of the original edition.
That makes the completionist/collector part of me extremely sad.

Can I ask; is it just the Deluxe Edition being distributed by Modiphius or going forward will the entire game and all future products be moving under their banner?

The Deluxe Edition is being distributed by Modiphius, but no, all supplements will continued to be published directly by myself.

So this version stays at full price, while the new deluxe version which includes the first module is the same price?

Both include the first module, but the deluxe edition does include more stuff for the same price. This is here for those collectors, etc. who want the original edition.

Hi, I would like to voice my support for getting this pdf updated with the recent update and changes. While the free update is much appreciated, I find a rulebook far more convenient and easy to use if I don't have to double check with another document.

FYI, a free Rules Update was released yesterday (2019-12-20) as a separate PDF, to bring it in-line with the Deluxe Edition. Here's hoping they update this main product, perhaps with a second, optional PDF to download, so that customers don't have to go digging around for it, or possibly remain ignorant of its existence.

Greetings Joseph, I noticed you said there is a deluxe edition coming in early 2020.. any idea of when, or cost for a pdf? Did you sell this to Modiphius or are you working with them? Also, one thing I don't see mentioned here is the required dice. Does this require special or standard dice? (special dice are a pet peeve of mine and its a deciding factor on if I will purchase or not. For example, Star Trek Adventures by Modiphius uses special die and I won't purchase because of it.)

Ok, so the questions about the changes seem to be ignored. Let me ask something different then. Where do people get minis and terrain for this game in Canada and what am I looking at as far as cost? I have never used minis or terrain.. at most, a paper map that I drew.

The game still belongs to me, but I have worked with Modiphius to produce a Deluxe Edition, mainly so a nice trade edition of the game will be available. You need 2 twenty-sided dice and a deck of cards to play. Most of the minis you need can be obtained from those produced for Frostgrave. You can see them all at North Star Military Figures, and order most of them from Brigade Games in North America.

what is the replay ability of these adventures?
Reply

Joseph M December 06, 2019 7:20 am UTC

Most of them, can be played multiple times as the event system means that the same scenario will play out differently most times. The scenarios in Burning Light do involve hidden information, so they don't have quite the same replay value.

How many players are ideal? Is 6 too many?

1-4 is ideal. 5+ will require adaptation to the scenarios to add extra challenge.

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.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
