Veins of Power: Ley Lines for Shadowdark

Unlock the hidden veins of energy that pulse through the world with Veins of Power: Ley Lines for Shadowdark.

Conceived for my newest homebrew campaign, Rise of the Mucklord, this supplement introduces ley lines—currents of arcane energy, divine power, and twilight influence. These ley lines serve as both a source of magical potential and dark temptation. The Mucklord, my campaign’s central antagonist, seeks to corrupt these veins of power, turning their energy into a twisted force for his sinister ambitions.

Within this supplement, you'll find:

• Three Types of Ley Lines. Arcane, Divine, and Twilight, each with unique benefits and risks.
• Dynamic Mechanics. Tap ley lines to enhance your spells, but beware the consequences of failure.
• The Art of Line-Walking. A system for discovering and mastering ley lines, adding a new depth to spellcasting.
• GMs’ Toolkit. Guidelines for mishaps, Divine penance, and integrating ley lines into your world.

Bring the thrill of ancient power to your Shadowdark game. Whether your players use ley lines to cast miraculous spells or succumb to their catastrophic mishaps, Veins of Power adds a layer of tension, strategy, and wonder to the Shadowdark experience. Build unforgettable moments as your players, and their enemies, risk everything to harness the power that courses beneath their feet.
