Full Episode
Today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show, we're going to take a look at Defilers of Moonsilk Keep, a mega dungeon and mega product for Shadow Dark. We're going to look at Horizons Issue 1, Frontiers of Eberron, the Adventures in Teaching and Learning in TTRPG's Kickstarter, the Dwarven Forged Dungeons Reforged Gamefound crowdfunding campaign.
I'm going to talk about my thoughts of the convention I just got back from from Gamehole Con, which was absolutely awesome, and I want to talk a little bit about that. Today's main RPG tip is going to be talking about pool table game mastering, an idea about how to stay free-flowing and yet have deep and rich stories without having to build out giant networks of games.
And we're going to cover more questions from the October 2024 Patreon Q&A all today on the Lazy RPG Talk Show. I'm Mike Shea, your pal from Sly Flourish, here to talk about all things in tabletop role-playing games. The Lazy RPG Talk Show is brought to you by the patrons of Sly Flourish.

Defiler of Moonsilk Keep is a Shadow Dark campaign. I got a review copy of this campaign sent by the creator, and I took a look at it, and I thought it looked really cool. You can pick this up on itch.io, I think. Yes, it's on itch.io for $5.00. And for five dollars, you get a whole lot of stuff for five dollars.
It is a hundred and seventy page shadow dark themed source book and adventure, kind of a multilayered adventure, very sort of original gray hockey style thing going on here. It includes a town that the town where everything is set. It includes NPCs and it includes a whole bunch of different things to run for an adventure.
So if you are looking for some very cool art, really neat design, and I haven't read the whole thing cover to cover, but I dove in enough to say, does this look like it's worth five bucks? And it absolutely looks like it's worth $5. I think you're getting a really good deal for a $5 product. It's definitely bigger than like a curse scroll kind of zine.
It's got a lot more depth than the curse scroll zines have for just good or ill. One of the nice things about curse scrolls is you can digest them really easily and then run off with them as I did for an entire year campaign with just one of them. But if you're looking for a little bit more detail, names of NPCs, stats for NPCs, regions...
The town of Havenford and the dungeons that exist nearby that you can explore, the various storylines that will take you to these dungeons, all kinds of things that are going on. It looks like a very cool Shadow Dark adventure. It starts at second level, so you might want to run a little like rat in the cellar kind of thing in order to get them from first to second level.
