The Shadow Rune ProjectRecently, Delphi and I started a project to adapt the regular The Shadow Rune campaign to be playable without the need of an overlord. We will be using the fantastic Valkyrie software under development by BruceLGL to provide a look and feel very similar to the official Road to Legend app. To showcase what it will look like and evaluate how many people are interested in this, we adapted the introduction quest First Blood. Beware! Mauler and his Goblins learned a few new tricks!
We think it is quite fun to play. Here are some screenshots:
Features:
• step-by-step exploration of maps
• new quest-dependent activation instructions for monsters groups
• quest mechanics similar to the regular campaign but adapted to Road to Legend.
• travel and campaign phases at the start and at the end of each quest
• reward system based on gold and number of available Shop Item cards
• uses the Road to Legend rule set, no additional rules other than provided within the quest itself

• start Valkyrie from the folder you unpacked it to
• select "Import Road to Legend content", click on the Descent button when import done

• open your windows user directory (%appdata%\Valkyrie\ for windows 10) and unpack the 01_FirstBlood.zip file there.
• start Valkyrie, select Start Quest and choose First Blood
Support Requests:
Obviously, this is a big project that cannot be completed by two people alone. We will need a lot of help from you guys to get this done.
• We need people to with ideas how to adapt each quest for app-play and put those ideas into our quest design template available for our download page.
• We need people to create the quest.ini files based on the quest design templates (using the Valkyrie Quest Editor GUI or very simple code).
• We need people to play test quests providing detailed feedback on bugs and balancing.
If this sparks enough interest, we will continue to get a full campaign adapted.
Contribute and make this project happen!
