Shadowdark - Additional XP for Killing Cunning Foes and Doing Dangerous Things
What the -- XP for Killing Monsters is *Optional*!?!?
There's nothing better than delving Dungeons¸ slaying monsters and scoring sweet¸ sweet gold! In Shadowdark you mainly get Experience for scoring the cash¸ not slaying the monsters and guardians protecting that cash¸ or accomplishing other interesting things in the game. There are optional rules for Monster XP - but too much book keeping! So this supplement streamlines Monster killing XP and makes it competitive - you only get what you kill!
Also¸ as the saying goes - the Journey is as important as the destination¸ and struggling against dangerous foes and unique circumstances should also help improve your Character's skills and level.
In addition to Monster Slaying XP¸ this set of rules add some simple XP award rules for Journeying and Challenges to your Shadowdark games.
