Hideous Daylight

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Enter a garden of earthly delights.

The sun has stopped setting over the king's favorite garden. It seemed like a harmless curiosity at first but the animals have turned violent and strange alien beings have appeared. The duke has placed a bounty for enterprising sell-swords to end the curse of endless daylight. 

Hideous Daylight is an adventure module for Old-School Essentials, Cairn, and compatible with other pen-and-paper RPGs with old-school sensibilities. Player characters will navigate a 20 point hex crawl to end the strange curse affecting the land. 

  • An adventure for low-level characters.
  • 33 pages of non-linear, character driven adventure in the OSR tradition. 
  • Two keyed dungeons and a 20 point hex-crawl.
  • A bucolic fantasy setting easily insertable into fantasy RPG campaigns.
  • Dangerous new monsters, weird magic items, and an unpredictable random encounters table.
  • Features two gazebos.

"A remarkable little gem...an excellent adventure; the exact kind you hope to stumble upon when making purchasing decisions. Better than most of he Best Of on this blog. I’m excited to run this."

- Bryce Lynch, tenfootpole.org

I bought the Cairn edition from exalted funeral. Is there a place to get the OSE stats?

I've noticed that there is a new PDF version for a Cairn conversion, but what about the PoD version? Is it for OSE, Cairn or does it have both stats in the same book?

Print-on-demand version is statted for Old-School Essentials only. This is listed in the "Specifications" header but it's a bit easy to miss since it's below the image; I should bump up this information higher on the product description. Offset print copies of the Cairn version are available from various online retailers.

What foundry module did you use to export/import the maps? Don't see anything in the base system that would do that.

Hi Brad. I see on your itch website that there is a version 1.2 of Hideous Daylight. How is the version 1.2 different from the original version? Does the version 1.2 incorporate some of Bryce's and Melan's feedback? Or is it focused on correcting typos or other formal errata (if there was any)? Thanks!

Waiting on a POD since I don't want to buy it twice to have it in both print & PDF, but this is definitely on my list!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
