Imbue weapons and armor with runes of power
Runes are fragments of ancient power, bound into stone long before the gods we know came to be. They cannot be crafted, copied, or learned from dusty tomes. They must be found, claimed, and carefully bound into worthy steel.
Runesmithing for Shadowdark adds a complete rune imbuing system to Shadowdark RPG, designed to feel rare, costly, and impactful.
What This Supplement Adds
Runesmithing introduces:
- 17 unique runes, each with different effects in weapons and armor
- A clear system for discovering runes through ancient Runestones
- Rune capacity based on material (Steel, Mithral, Spellweave)
- Rules for extracting and imbuing runes
- Rules for creating Spellweave
- Imbuing ritual details
- Guidance for runestone frequency in dungeons and the wilderness
- XP rewards tied to rune discovery and imbuing
- Custom art by Carlos Castilho - one of the official artists of Shadowdark
Everything is designed to slot directly into Shadowdark.
Briefly on the runes
There are 17 unique runes, each with different effects depending on whether they are imbued in a weapon or armor.
Examples:
- Blood - Recover HP on a critical hit / Increase maximum HP
- Storm - Chain lightning on crit / Reduce lightning damage taken
- Frost - Impose disadvantage / Resist frost
- Eternal - Crit on 19–20 / Chance to stand back up at 0 HP
- Ward - Dispel Magic on hit / Ignore one attack per day
The order in which you imbue them also determines the name of your newly powered item, for example: Flame + Blood runes in a greataxe might name it; "Flame Blood Cleaver". Ward + Venom runes in a shield might name it; "Venom Ward Shield".
Clear rules for finding runes
The supplement clearly defines how many runes a Runestone contains and provides the GM with clear instructions on how many Runestones to place in a campaign setting or dungeon, as well as how to award XP for rune discovery and rune imbuing. Minimal vagueness, maximum flavor.

She barely noticed as a Rarebit, ears poking through a floppy red hat, threw a swollen bladder at the unsuspecting guard Duck. The bladder exploded, covering the hapless guard in thick, sticky honey. “My feathers,” squawked the guard. “Help!” Dab watched, slack-jawed, as a brown Mouse in a purple robe leapt from behind the Rarebit, climbed onto the driver’s seat, snatched the reins, and said, “Hurry up, Gin, let’s get these clams to Squealer!” “Ready,” said the Rarebit as he hopped over the wagon’s sidewall and l... |

Description:
Shards Of Reality (or short SOR) is a d10 based simple and lightweight system that takesheavy insipration from anime and anime based systems.
With the rules presented here you can be a shuriken throwing catgirl, or an android shooting plasma bolts from your arm before punching your enemies where it hurts the most.
Fight goblins, bandits or even dragons leveling up in your jobs (classes in other systems) as you see fit. And when you level up, choose which of the abilities (so called Skills) your class provides you gain and increase your rank in.
Thus you can play as what and how you want and if the party healer has no time, you just need to level up a single healer class and take a single skill from it and you can be the healer this time around while you are just the tank every other time.
And if needs be there is always the option to acquire a skill book and thus learn the skills necessary to beat the dragon emperor into submission without needing to level up before that.
With this system you have a powerful and flexible framework in your hands. Use the rules as written to play your own anime inspired stories. Or use the toolboxes to expand upon the rules, origins and jobs or even enemies as you need. The choices are yours to make and this toolbox gives you all what you need for it.
Additionally there are more books so called playbooks planned which will expand the contents with even more classes, origins and adversaries.
Contents:
The book is over 160 pages long and contains many different parts:
.
Core Rules & Introduction:
The Introdution and the core rules are as compact as possible, providing everything needed to play the game on only 14 pages. Thus it is easy and fast to learn.
7 additional pages provide toolboxes to create new NPCs, Jobs, Origins, .... .
.
Character Creation:
The character creation rules are presented on 3 pages, so that you can create any character you want in almost no time.
For this you can choose between 6 different main origins (in this case races) with a total of 11 variations!
And to make it even more flexible so called versatile origins are alos listed, which give you 3 more origins that you can combine with the other 11 (Android - Creator, Android - Entertainment, Android - War, Oozoids, Demihuman - Aracnos, Demihuman - Felian, Demihuman - Reptons, Dwarf, Fey - Elf, Fey - Pixie, Human). These are: Celestials, Dhampirs and Dragonkin.
And then 18 example backgrounds are listed alongside 11 different Jobs.
These Jobs range from the heavy melee weapon swinging dragoons, over the dancing fencers to beast tamers and white. Even support jobs like explorer and operative have their place among the listed jobs:
Dragoon, fencer, juggernaut, marksman, pugilist, beast tamer, black mage, summoner, white mage, explorer, operative.
With every job featuring a full listing and explanation of their skills and bonuses.
.
Items:
Then there is the items chapter, which consists of a group of appendixes for general items, armor, melee weapons, ranged weapons and cybernetics. All in all you will find there 30 different types of armor (split among 3 categories), 27 melee weapons (split into 4 categories), 20 ranged weapons (split into 2 categories), 5 different types of cyberware and many everyday items needed for adventuring and even travel prices.
.
Adversaries:
Then there is the adversary chapter listing 5 different types of beasts (with a total of 22 variants), 6 types of humanoids (10 variants), 3 types of greenskin (4 variants), 3 types of monsters and 2 types of undead (5 variants).
Lastly it lists 14 types (including variants) of traps.
