    Shadowdark Alternate Shadowdark Paladin: Looking for Ideas

    That's a cool idea. Indexing aura use to a HP spend would be a built-in limiter. The HP spend doesn't have to be huge to matter in SD and levelling up automatically increases options there.

    Do you have a "litmus test" setting for generic rule sets?

    The answer to this question is never 'grappling rules'.

    I think I'll go with this blackletter font instead

    Another interesting idea would be to tie it to the torch timer. Some people will hate the idea as meta, but it could be cool.

    There isn't a good one, but the usage die mechanic would do that same job.

    That's pretty much the choice, yeah. A side benefit of moving to sans is that it takes up less vertical space at the same weight so the text gets to breathe a little more.

    Something that makes it a 'decision' and not an auto-do.

    Arrgh. So, 50+ pages in I'm not happy with some of the font choices. I'm thinking about going sans serif and letting the art and description carry the 'fantasy' weight. Let me post the same page done both ways. First, the new WiP

    Shadowdark Shadowdark Discussion Thread [+]

    There's a whole thread on the AC Discord about converting Dolmenwood to SD, so a lot of that work is already done, if not publicly shareable.

    Protection from Evil powered by HP? Something like that?

    I feel like the negative reaction roll is a cool idea, but you could add an element of choice. If you had an aura that was good, but, if on, triggers the negative reaction roll, and if triggered after the reaction roll reads as a sneak attack, you'd have a really interesting decision point.

    Faction Rules - What do we like?

    This brings up the important notion of scale. The fewer factions you have the more detail you can afford to go into for each. The city book I'm writing has something like 30 factions total, so obviously I won't do that level of detail for each. I have maybe 10 or 12 core factions that perhaps...

    Shadowrun deserves better

    I think Cy Borg would be a great base to build a Shadowrun game on.
