In this case would you say a roll won’t get it—-“quickly under presssure” but if you kill all opponents in the room 10-60 minutes left alone you would automatically get it—- While NOT under pressure? I am imagining two groups wanting a locked up magic wand. We are fighting over it. A...

I guess my question is does it really simulate more effectively? Especially for a fantasy game? How did I not notice the guy walking around the perimeter. I said I was looking in his exact location! Oh yeah. I rolled a one. Guess my shoe was untied? It’s sometimes like saying a person who...

I am a total newb regarding shadowdark. However, skills are essentially ability check dc If it makes sense for the background, give advantage. Seems this would lend itself to application in most novel situations including piloting a ship if you are a sailor? If it was the this shadowdark...

And I love it. Rolls don’t constrict my fantasy. Aside from consistency, bad rolls are not a killer. What is a heavy item requiring a 15 dc? A strong dude might heave it up quickly. A minus one str might find a way to wriggle the weight up stagger around and get it done. Maybe just as...

I kind of look at it like no shirt, no shoes, no service.

I still like 5e…for a 5e game. Shadowdark scratches a different itch for me…and I am a little giddy about it I don’t set up war of the ring when I want to play shogun. Cool they both exist. Feel that way about D&D and shadowdark too and glad I can have both and alternate depending on my mood

Strangely, for me, the thematic options simpler and fewer have more resonance. The sea wolf is simply a better beserker that the barbarian ever was, as streamlined as it is. But you are right…tinkering, multiclassing char op people won’t like how lean that all is…

U what is old is what’s new. The more people complain, the more visible things become…despite perhaps intent to the contrary. Keep talking about games you like! I feel like ENWorld helped me consider shadowdark more seriously…

Funny enough…the guy that ran the game for us had several books. Told the creator he was running at a con and the dude was a bit of an a-hole per the game Master. Funny. Not wise to be a douche to your fans if it’s a true account! Not everyone separates the creator from creation. I do, or I...

I was just playing with the character generator. Not knowing the boon or benefit of a level advance just gets the gambler in me excited.

If the premise of the op argument is true…how do we explain evidence to the contrary? Kickstarter? Luck? Not being facetious…really asking. I bought shadowdark and all the zines so far and Dragonslayer off dtrpg…

Kennon James…saw him at Gary Con and lamented I only had pdf handy for the game I played. I played a game and enjoyed it. The friar Tuck monk is cool…quarterstaff fighter who can do Gregorian chants to cancel charms… I bought it due to the cool ass art. Easley did the cover. I would pla...

Hell yeah! I had to buy a few prints while I was at it…game room acquisitions!

I don’t know where people find the time to play many different games. I am lucky to play anything with work and kids! We are not abandoning 2014 5e…still like it. But for a harsher vibe going to play some shadowdark. Really have had fun with it. What is interesting to me is that my kids see...

I called my wife from Gary Con to tell her I was having lunch with celebrities (I was eating lunch several tables over from vaugn….did not bother him of course). I did however get Easley to sign my unearthed arcana though!
