Companionable Darkness

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Archchancellor Gwydion Ambrosius has sent for you,
personally. He asks you to accompany a senior reader of
the University of Scarthey on a journey through dangerous
lands. Gwydion fears for the old wizard, whose frayed mind
has suffered through the study of dark arts. Can you protect
the wizard, your companions, and the wagon train you’re
traveling with, or will darkness consume you all?

Companionable Darkness is a solo adventure for a 1st—3rd level cleric or paladin, compatible with the fifth edition rules of the world’s oldest roleplaying game. This is our largest adventure yet, clocking in at 64 entries (including the intro and conclusion) over 45 pages, with new player options for the barbarian and bard classes. A successful run should take you around half an hour, if you don’t fall foul of the traps and monsters that lie in wait. The More Adventure section allows you to extend the game far beyond that, as you work to protect the caravan you’re traveling with from the many dangers on the road.

Character Level: 1st—3rd
Character Class: Cleric or paladin
Play Mode: Solo / 1-on-1
Play Length: 1 Session
System: fifth edition fantasy
Setting: Scarthey, the University of the Arcane

The adventure includes:

  • Exclusive Path of the Lone Wolf barbarian path.
  • College of the Veiled Hand bard college
  • A new Campaign Boon, inspired by the adventure.
  • More Adventure section, adding options to extend the adventure.
  • Linked and bookmarked for ease of play.

Companionable Darkness is the third adventure in the Choose Your Destiny series of solo / 1-on-1 adventures. Look out for more adventures coming soon.

I've now played through all 3 of the Scarthey solo adventures for 5e and can comfortable say that Companionable Darkness was both my personal favourite and probably objectively the best entry in the series. Companionable Darkness has the most fu [...]

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.
