This is a poker-card sized deck of 48 pre-generated level 1 Shadowdark character cards.

The front side has full-color character art and a quick biography, and the back has statistics and equipment.

Shadowdark RPG is an old-school RPG, similar to D&D's Basic Set (1E D&D), using D&D 5E's modern, streamlined design.



The deck is mostly humans, with some dwarves, halflings, and elves. There are a handful of goblins and half-orcs to round things out.

All characters were randomly generated according to Shadowdark's rules, including money for starting equipment.

Our lead designer, William Murakami-Brundage, did character creation, card design, and card layout. Character art was done by Carl Hendrix (elves, goblins, half-orcs, and humans) and Yara de Mauro (dwarves and halflings.)

Print on demand card decks are fulfilled by DriveThruRPG. Backers receive a one-time code for a deck of print-on-demand (POD) cards. POD backers are responsible for a small printing and shipping fee, and DriveThruRPG prints and ships their cards. This is the most cost-efficient method we've found to get cards to our backers.




If you're unfamiliar with DriveThruRPG's print-on-demand, the deck costs are approx. $13 + shipping per deck for books in the USA. Of this, $4 is collected via Kickstarter, and approx. $9 is collected by DriveThruRPG per card deck for printing. These decks retail for $15.99 + shipping, so you save by backing us on Kickstarter.

Additional costs may be incurred from customers in the EU or customers impacted by UK shipping tariffs. Please check with your local post offices, as these situations vary by region and package details.
