Average Rating (3 ratings)

Pink Pony of Death is a fanzine dedicated to OSR adventure gaming and horror roleplaying games. Issue #1 presents an adventure module for the Shadowdark RPG, drawing inspiration from classic sword & sorcery fiction and weird fantasy. This zine also includes setting material to portray the doomed city-state of Narbassal, where the adventure module unfolds.

If you are looking for dark sword and sorcery adventure with an ancient world vibe that echoes the works of Fritz Leiber, Karl-Edward Wagner, and Michael Moorcock, Pink Pony of Death #1 might be to your liking.

Within this 65-page zine, you will find:


A Place that was, is, and will be: An urban-based timecrawl for level 1-3 characters. PCs will explore the dire fate of the city-state of Narbassal, its warring factions, political intrigue, Tha’umilian blood magic, time travel, and time-space paradoxes.

Map of Narbassal: Explore eleven keyed locations, from King Vessalamchir’s Palace to the city’s formidable seawall.

Description of Narbassal’s Ten Wards: Meet the deep divers of Fell Qur, or mingle with cult-initiates of the sea-goddess Balaushtu in the Ash-Vakar quarter. Get lost in Narbassal’s maze of alleys.

Random Tables for Urban Exploration: Generate neighborhoods and encounters as your players explore Narbassal before and after its destruction by the enemy fleet of the the city-state of Harbakaya.

Eight Narbassalian Taverns: Each tavern is teeming with adventure seeds. Buy your friends some drinks and get to meet the wrong people.

Timetable of Events: A schedule of past, current, and future events, ready to be messed up by your players.

New Character Backgrounds: Create Shadowdark characters with setting-specific backgrounds such as dream interpreters, gladiators, and famed sword-singers.

Foes, friends, and new monsters: Beware the messengers of the demon-goddess Lamachanti! Stats are provided for the Shadowdark rules set and 1e.

Narbassalian Cuisine: Essential information for someone visiting the city-state for the first time.

Four additional NPCs with Adventure Hooks, each of them providing opportunities for daring adventures in Narbassal.

Alternative Cover: A homage to classic sword and sorcery novel bought in a thrift store.

Original Artwork: Featuring art by real people. No AI “art” in this dojo.

You get a lot for your money here. A fleshed out floating City, a lot of cool tables and a fine map. The adventure presents a very interesting time problem and very mean and difficult decisions. And a lot of trouble for the characters of course. [...]

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
