I am very curious if I will buy Dolmebwood. Really want to have it, but rather sceptical if it will ever see use at my table. And it just has so many pages, unsure of I would even read it all. The adventures look top notch, though. Has anyone here used them for Shadowdark, were they a good fit?

Mostly through a RSS feed, check out the new threads, and put on 'watch' what I want to follow. Rest through notifications, mostly.

Öook to sly flourish. Dont have ot on front of me right now, but sounds like a hit to me.

I don't know much about nimble, except that every youtuber seems to gabe a crush on it. I can say, however, that Shadowdark works really well for Strahd. The tone of the game, the lethality, the vibes. Mike Shea has some.good resources on running Curse of Strahd in shadiwdark, and the...
