OSR / Shadowdark Supplement by Shadowhold Studios

Unleash a Torrent of Terror upon Your Game

Within every shadowed corridor, beyond every forgotten tomb, they wait—not mere beasts, but nightmares given form. Darkened Denizens is a meticulously crafted compendium of over 130 monsters designed to inject a potent dose of grimdark horror into your Old-School Renaissance (OSR) and classic fantasy tabletop roleplaying games.

For Game Masters who believe that a simple goblin should be a terrifying encounter and that every monster should tell a story of despair, this book is your essential resource. Whether you run Old School Essentials, Dungeon Crawl Classics, Shadowdark RPG, Lamentations of the Flame Princess, or classic Dungeons & Dragons, the statblocks within are easily adaptable to your system of choice.

Inside this tome, you will discover:

•  Replace predictable monsters with terrifying equivalents.
•  Confront them with wholly new creations born from decades of campaigning.
•  Challenge your party with creatures designed for specific, deadly terrains.
•  Every monster is brought to life with terrifying, high-contrast black and white illustrations, echoing the iconic style of 1st Edition AD&D and fueling your players’ darkest imaginings.
•  Easy-to-use, intuitive statblocks prioritize GM utility and quick integration into your favorite OSR ruleset without complex conversion.
