King of Dragons
King of Dragons
Five champions of good must destroy the red dragon tyrant Gildiss!
This is a fan project that uses the rules of Rangers of Shadow Deep By Joseph A.
McCullough. A miniature agnostic skirmish war –rpg like game.
Rangers of Shadow Deep is a solo and co-operative tabletop miniatures game, in which
players create their ranger, gather companions, and play through a series of missions in
their fight to hold back the darkness. If their rangers survive, they will grow in power and
ability, and be sent on more difficult, dangerous and intricate assignments.
There are some minor changes that the role of rangers is limited to the 5 champions that appear
to the video game. Monsters mostly are the ones that appear in the video game and the campaign
follows the 16 total stages until the final showdown with the red dragon Gildiss!
FOREWORD
The beautiful lands that you call home have known a great prosperity under the just rule of the
King. The kingdom has amassed a great wealth and fame alas the red dragon, Gildiss, has
crushed peace under his iron tail. He must be stopped.
As champions of the kingdom you deliberately gather as much information you can from the
local tavern. The innkeeper informs you that the bard can give you some insight about the
current situation. As you approach the bard he immediately recognizes the huge heroic potential
within you.” I’ve heard that many villages are being decimated by rampaging monsters. The folk
of the Northern castle are especially in trouble”.
Without any hesitation our four champions The Elf, the wizard, the fighter, the cleric and the
dwarf take up the task to travel through the treacherous orc forest in order to find the tracks of
the dreadful dragon.
Arcade Mode: In order to have a feeling of the original arcade it is recommended to play with 3-
4 champions even in solo mode. Alternatively, the choice for companions in solo mode where
you control 1 champion (ranger) should be the rest champions with their basic stats but each
champion costs 35-40 RP and they cannot use heroic abilities.. So, For 1 ranger – champion use
maximum 3 other companions. For 2 champions just use 1 companion.
Normal Mode: IF you favor the rangers of shadow deep experience more then follow the normal
rules for Recruitment points (RP) and companions per the rules book.

This scenario is played on a 2’x2’ table (60x60 cm). The table should be imagined to be at about
a 60-degree angle for the first 8” (20cm). The side of the table where the heroes start is the
‘Bottom” of the table, while the opposite side is the “top”. The champions (rangers) and
companions should all be placed within 2’’ (5 cm) of the “Bottom” of the table. The stairs have a
full width of 2’ (60cm) by 8” (20cm).
The “top “of the table should contain 9 ancient columns and 4 scatter boulders that the heroes
can use as cover. The columns should have 4” (10cm) distance between them. The size of the
“top” is 2’ (60cm) by 16” (40 cm). Place 3 treasure tokens. The treasure on the stairs is placed
exactly in the middle of the stairs, one treasure token is placed between the first row of columns
and one is placed between the boulders. An orc elite with shield is placed next to each treasure. 5
orcs should be placed 3’ (7.5 cm) away from the starting position of the heroes and 2 skeletons at
the last row of the columns with a 4” (10cm) distance between them.
SPECIAL RULES
The champions may move up and down the stairs as if traversing rough ground. However, if they
ever attempt more than one move action in the same activation, they must make a climb roll
(TN8). If they fail, their activation immediately ends and they fall towards the bottom of the
table, moving a number of inches and suffering damage both equal to the amount by which they
failed.
Apart from the stairs, the rest of the table is treated as normal ground
Any time a figure that loses a combat in this stage, must immediately make either a climb roll
(TN11) or an Acrobatics roll (TN11), or fall according to the same rules as above. Any figure
that can fly is assumed to automatically pass any climb or acrobatics Rolls.
The Cyclops enters the game during the event phase 3. Place him on the center of the “Top” part
of the table. Note that the Thrown boulder event takes place even in the absence of the Cyclops
on the map.
This stage continues until the Cyclops or all the heroes are killed. During the event phase of each
turn, draw one Event Card. The target point for this scenario is the” top” edge of the table.

MINIATURES
Note that this stage is played in 2 scenarios that are played back to back. For this stage you will
probably need the following miniatures:
6+ Skeletons
4+ Mummies
1 Sorcerer mini Boss
8 Wraiths as Boss
STAGE 10: UNDERPASS
Scenario I: Foul Monsters
You enter the dark halls and immediately the stench of rot and decay fills your lungs. Coughing
some blood on your hand you understand that you must move fast and quickly escape this foul
place before it takes a heavy toll on you and your courageous companions.
SET-UP
The table for this scenario is a series of three large rooms that the champions must pass in order
to confront the Wraiths. Each room is 1.5’x1.5’ 45,5 x 45,5 cm). Room A and B contain 2 doors,
entrance and door to the next room. Room C contains one door and a trapdoor leading further
down the underpass. The rest of the set-up for this scenario is determined by the Room cards
deck as explained in the special rules.
SPECIAL RULES
Before the scenario begins, the heroes all suffer Poison and 1 damage. Healing, Spells or magic
items that heal poison can be used now before they enter room A. The players must choose one
figure to make a Stealth Roll (TN10) and a Pick Roll (TN10). If either roll is failed, the players
will suffer the penalty in Room A as explained below.
Players should then place their figures within 1” (2.5cm) of the entrance door of Room A. Then
randomly draw one room card, which will tell them how to set up Room A. The card also tells
how many turns the players have to open the door to room B before they suffer a penalty in that
room as well. If there are no evil figures within 1” of the door to room B, a figure can open it
simply by moving into contact with it. As soon as the door to room B is open, draw a room card
for it as well and again when the door is opened for the final room C. Essentially, if the players
are slow the situation becomes dire. Note that opening a door to a new room changes nothing
about the rooms that are already set up on the table. The evil creatures in those rooms will
continue to follow their normal actions, and heroes may still check clue markers. Several of the
rooms contain clue markers. Whenever a hero moves into contact with a clue marker, its action
ends immediately, and it should roll on the clue marker table. Each result on the clue marker
table may only be obtained once. There is no target point in this scenario. Finally ignore the
event phase as there are no events during this scenario.
SET-UP
This scenario is played on a 1’x1’ (30x30 cm). In the centre of the table place a trapdoor and the
champions with half their companions. The rest companions enter the centre of the table when
they pass the Navigation Roll (TN5). Then take six tombstones and place them in a circle around
the center, about 8” (20x20cm) away. These tombstones should be numbered in some fashion
from 1-6, although it doesn’t matter which tombstone is assigned which number. Place several
small bits of terrain, such as fires, crates, barrels in between the tombstones.
Place 6 Wraiths on the table, one between each of the tombstones, so they form their own circle
centred on the centre of the table.
SPECIAL RULES
Before the scenario begins, all the heroes must make a Survival Roll (TN12). If it fails, it is
suffering from Hunger and begins the game at -2 Health. Additionally, pick a figure to make a
Traps Roll (TN16). If this is failed, a random heroic figure immediately suffers 5 points of
damage.
At the start of the champions- rangers turn during the 1st round, the players may select 2 different
figures to each make a Stealth Roll (TN15). If successful, the players may move 6” for each
figure that passed in any direction.
The first time a wraith is killed it is immediately resurrected near a random tombstone; cast 1d6
to determine the resurrection point. After the first resurrection read the following “The Wraith is
put out of its misery with a swift strike but something is amiss, you watch with disbelief his soul
flying towards a nearby tombstone and the wraith is reborn anew”. After this the heroes can
interact with the tombstones. These are points at which each figure can interact multiple times
during the same turn. When a figure is in base contact with a tombstone, it should follow the
instructions of how to destroy it given for it in the Tombstone table. Usually, there is a need for a
Skill Roll and if successful remove the tombstone from the table.
When a Wraith is killed and you roll for the random tombstone in order to resurrect it and the
said tombstone is destroyed, then the Wraith is permanently killed. This rule doesn’t apply for
the last Wraith and if 2 Wraiths are killed in the same turn.
Tombstone Table
Die Number Skill Roll to Destroy the Tombstone
1 Make A Strength Roll (TN16).
2 Make a Will Roll (TN15).
3 Make an Ancient Lore Roll (TN12).
4 Make a Traps Roll (TN10)
5 Make a Read Runes Roll (TN9)
6 Make a Pick Lock Roll (TN8)
OUTCOME AND EXPERIENCE
This scenario continues until all the Wraiths are killed and there is no more a single tombstone
on the table. Assuming the champions have survived, proceed to stage 11. All figures that
survived regain their full Health. Champions gain experience points for the following
achievements:
MINIATURES
For this stage you will probably need the following miniatures
SET-UP
Some evil curse made all your equipment redundant. So all the heroes start the stage with only
their basic equipment and with no potions, nor herbs, nor magic items or weapons or any other
kind of treasure with similar effects.
This stage is played on a 2’x3’ table (60x90 cm), which is divided into three sections. The main
chamber should be 2’X2’ (60x60 cm) and contain large doorways on either of its table edges.
One of these serves as the entry point for the heroes. Three bodies, dangling from chains, should
be placed in a line 4” (10cm) in from the table edge opposite the heroes’ entry point and about 6”
(15cm) from one another. On the left side of the table, there should be a 2’ by 6” (60cm by
15cm) room that is completely separated from the rest of the table by a wall. The wall should
contain one locked door. On the right side of the table should be another 2’ by 6” are, although,
in this case, it is only separated from the rest of the table by a wall that is broken in the middle.
In this corner of this room, at the point furthest from the heroes’ entry area, place a treasure
token and next to it place two skeletons. The rest of the table should be sparsely covered in
rubble and rubbish. Place one Black archer in each corner of the main room. Finally, place 1
Lizard commander, 2 lizards with spear in front of the doorway opposite the entry point of the
heroes.
SPECIAL RULES
Before the stage begins, all the heroes must make a Will Roll (TN10). If failed despair falls upon
the figure and starts the stage at half his starting Health.
The players should nominate to make either a Stealth Roll (TN12) or a Tracking Roll (TN10). If
the figure is successful then chose one Black archer and is immediately killed, place the heroic
figure in the corresponding corner. Either way, the players should place all of their figures within
3” (7,5cm) of the entry point.
The target point of this stage is the point of interest B. Heroes must save Princess Mari and Kill
the Great Draconian.
During the event phase of each turn, draw one Event Card. When the event deck is finished there
is no more event phase for the rest of the stage.
Note that this stage uses points of interests and not clue markers. These are points at which the
figures can interact once with the table. Whenever a figure is in base contact with a point of
interest, it should follow the instructions given for it in the point of interest table. You can take a
look in the Points of interest table before the stage begins.

SET-UP
This stage is played on a 2.5’x2.5’ table (75x75 cm).Two opposite corners of the table have
smashed walls. One of these corners serves as the entry point for the heroes. In the corner to the
left of the entry point there is a small ledge, all that really remains of the second story, standing
4” (10cm) above the ground. The corner to the right contains a small room 4”x4” (10x10cm)
with a single door. In the centre of the room place 1 Drake rider. Two Royal Knights are place in
the gap of the smashed wall opposite the heroes’ entry point. Finally, you can place some scatter

MINIATURES
For this stage you will probably need the following miniatures
SET-UP
This stage is played on a 2.5’x2.5’ table (75x75 cm).The table is divided into a main room,
which is 2.5’x2’ (75x60cm) and two smaller rooms, each 6”x1’ (15x30,5cm) that are behind two
closed doors. One corner of the main room contains a staircase. Along the wall between the stairs
and the smaller room is a bookcase. In front of the wall opposite the stairs sits a desk, with a
wardrobe behind and to the right of it. Place a Sorcerer in the front of the door of the first small
room in the right of the stairs. Place 6 Imps around the desk. Place a Lizard commander, 2
lizards with shields and 2 Lizards with Spears.
When a hero moves adjacent to the bookcase it sees that is full of books. The figure may take
one as a free action and carry it even if it has no item slots currently available. It can spend an
action to carry up to 1d6 more books but it must have the additional item slots to carry the extra
books. After the stage choose one figure to make Read Runes Roll (TN10) or Ancient Lore Roll
(TN11) for each book separately. If successful, for every success each champion either gains
10XP or can select one companion to receive one progression point.
When a hero moves adjacent to the desk it spots an amulet. The figure may make a Perception
Roll (TN9). If successful, it recognizes that the amulet is truly a gemstone of Spellfire (Check
Magic Item Table).
When a hero moves adjacent to the Wardrobe he may spend an action to open it. Make a Traps
Roll (TN11). If it fails a poisonous dart is triggered from the side wall. You can make a Move
Roll (TN 18) or Acrobatics Roll TN (15). If successful in either roll you avoid the Trap and earn
4XP. If you fail then the hero is poisoned per the standard rules. Either way make an Armoury
Roll (TN9). If successful, you find a Hand Weapon or staff, elemental strike (3). The champion
can choose one.
The Sorcerer will use his teleport Spell the first time he receives damage. The Dark Wizard will
appear in the centre of the first small room the heroes manage to open. When the Dark Wizard
first receives damage, he completely ignores it and is teleported to the other small room and in
his place you put 4 Imps. In the next small room place the Dark Wizard in the center along with
a Lizard commander and 2 Lizards with sword.
The small rooms are separated from the main room by a closed door. You make a Pick Roll
(TN8) or Strength Roll (TN12) to open the door behind the Sorcerer. A Pick Lock Roll (TN10)
or Strength Roll (TN14) is required for the second door.

not, the figure suffers an immediate +3 magic attack as do any other
figures within 2” of it. If the trap is avoided, gain 4XP.

turn to make a Strength Roll (TN20) to escape. It gets +4 to this roll for
every friendly figure that is adjacent. Otherwise, it remains bound until
the end of stage. Evil creatures ignore bound heroes. If the hero escapes
the chains, or dodges it to begin with, gain 4XP. Note that if the last
hero is bound and it cannot escape then the creatures target him with -4
fight for the hero.

weight of hopelessness descend upon them. For the rest of the stage all
heroes suffer -3 to all Will Rolls.

SET-UP
This stage is played on a 2.5’x3’ table (75x90 cm). One of the Short edges should be designated
as the Hero edge. The long table edge to the left of the hero edge is occupied by a river. All of
the table within 6” (15cm) is considered part of the river, at the middle of the river there is a
small island with a treasure token on it. The river is shallow and a Hero can swim freely. You
will need 6 clue markers to place on the table. At the shores of the river place 4 clue markers,
none should be closer than 8” (20cm) to one another. Next to each clue marker near the river
place 1 Sahuagin for a total of 4. Furthermore place one clue marker at the long table edge to the
right of the heroes’ edge at 8” (20cm) away from the heroes edge and next to it a treasure token
and a Lizard with Sword. On the opposite short edge from the Heroes place a Wyvern along 2
Lizards with Spear in the middle section of this specific edge. The last clue marker is placed 8”
(20cm) away to the left of the wyvern and 8” (20cm) inside the long table edge. The rest of the
table should contain scattered trees and rocks. Recommended 6 trees and 6 rocks.
The Heroes should be placed at their edge but with a distance of at least 4” (10cm) between
them. This represents the fact that they are scattered around to find some clues.

4+ Skeletons
2 Cyclops Boss
SET-UP
This stage is played on a 2’x2’ table (60x60 cm). Use some walls to divide the table accordingly
to the map below. The numbers are used for the randomly placed heroes (see special rules). Place
2 Cyclops near the exit door. At each corner of the table edge where the exit door is, place a
treasure token. Place 2 Mummies in the opening gaps of the areas numbered 1-5, 11-15, and 16-
20. Place 2 skeletons in the opening gap of the area numbered 6-10.
SPECIAL RULES
Before the Stage starts each Hero suffers from Hunger and Thirst for each clue marker that did
not find in the previous stage.
The heroes must choose one figure to make a Navigation Roll (TN18). If successful they can
move freely only once per activation. If you fail the roll then each time you move a hero his
movement is randomly determined as it is lost in the vast labyrinth.
A Survival Roll (TN15) is required for each hero in order to start in the entrance. If failed the
hero is randomly placed on the table, determined by the roll of 2d20.
The only way for a hero to exit the stage is through the exit door. A hero reaching the exit door
should make a Perception Roll (TN15) in order to see the door and thus escape from the
labyrinth.
The target point of this stage is the point where the most heroes are gathered on the table if
possible, otherwise the hero nearer the exit door.
The monster always have clear line of sight to the heroes, especially for the event cards. Heroes
have a maximum line of sight 4” (10cm), exception is the use of special magic item or spells.
The Stage lasts until all the heroes have found the exit door and escaped or all the events cards
are drawn, in which case the heroes lose the campaign. Note that even if one hero has escaped
the Stage you can roll for each hero who failed to do so on the Survival table.
During the event phase of each turn, draw one Event Card.
