Breachers Vol 1 in Shadowdark

⚔️ Breachers Vol. 1 — The Everpeak District (for Shadowdark RPG)

Step into the Walls... if you dare.

Breachers Vol. 1 is a medieval grunge survival setting for Shadowdark RPG, launching a new game mode focused on contract-driven exploration, procedural downtime, and the secrets buried inside the Walls of the Barrier Realm.

This first volume takes you into Everpeak—a frostbitten district ruled by hollow nobility, flickering torches, and the crimson stones of Titan’s Rampart. Inside the Wall, the crawl begins. And no one comes back the same.

You’re not a hero. You’re a Breacher.
You signed the contract. The gate opened. Now get in and survive.

🧱 What’s Inside (52 pages):

• 3 original classes:

  • Dungeon Chef – cook monsters for buffs

  • Psyknight – WIL-based psychic with custom rolled powers

  • Lancer – reach-heavy frontline controller

• 2 new ancestries:

  • Bestial – horned, feral mutants

  • Cyclopean – cursed one-eyed prophets

• The complete Sojourn System – hex-based procedural travel inspired by Veins of the Earth

• Theme Tables – roll to flavor Sojourns with shifting tones

• Secrets Tables – NPC-based unlocks tied to level and faction interaction

• Breacher Mode – new leveling structure, BP system, and crawl-oriented mechanics

• Guild contracts, rumors, and crawl hooks linked to the Everpeak district

• Bonus PDF: 2 printable crawl maps + NPC blocks and secret reveals

🧠 Built for Shadowdark tables that want:

• Procedural hex-crawling

• Roll-driven narrative discovery

• Compact faction intrigue and world-reveals through play

This is District One of the Barrier Realm.
Each volume opens a new Wall & District.
Each Wall remembers what you leave behind.
