    Coast Trip Autumn ’25: Souls for Smuggler’s Shiv, Pt. 1

    Shipwrecked beneath the Genevieve, the Freebooters battled beasts, cannibals, and snares, uncovering Captain Kovac’s twisted log, lost supplies, and dark threats. With Iyana the Varisian scholar missing, they pushed inland, danger mounting at every turn.

  • The Crusader’s Road (Pathfinder Audiobook, Paizo)

    The Crusader’s Road (Pathfinder Audiobook, Paizo)

    Crusader’s Road, a Pathfinder audiobook, features a good narrator and a compelling plot involving ogre-kin and fantasy politics in Echo Wood, with appealing character growth. Enjoyable experience.

I think these would also work for Shadowdark without much modification, and plan on trying this when appropriate.
