I just received Life-Paths for Shadowdark. Great book, but it has classes (Bard, Ranger, Witch, Warlock, Knight, Shaman) that do not appear in the base book. What book are they published in?
Hey Phillip, Thanks for grabbing the product! So the Bard & Ranger have official releases from the Arcane Library. Can be found on their Discord as well. The Witch, Warlock, & Knight are from The Cursed Scroll Zines, again from Arcane Library. Though the Knight is more generic than their Cursed Knight of St.Ydris. The Shaman has no "official" version, though a number of other talented creators have made Shaman Classes. One in particular being Unnatural Selections. Cheers, Daniel.
I initially thought that the Tutelage bit about torches lit by the wizard's small flame lasing twice as long was too OP, but I think you balanced it well with the crippling fear in darkness. Nicely done, and the layout is gorgeous.
There are definitely one or two where I was like “Is this too strong, or too harsh"? But I think it's kind of like rolling stats, sometimes you get too many 6's or too many 18's, and it's up to each player and GM to decide if it's worth a re-roll or to alter or to just let it fly and see what happens. And cheers! I was really happy with the layout.

We've finally had time to organize a Kickstarter to cover all the classes. Check it out!

This is awesome! After the jam I pray you will do Cleric, Thief, and Fighter! :D I will pay you money.
I will be doing them! Probably in September after my next project. Cheers.
We've got an upcoming Kickstarter to cover all the classes.

Nice looking optional!
