Shadowdark looks so good!

OMG would somebody please say something about Shadowdark? I don't want to have to keep engaging in the D&D forum. And I certainly don't want to have to go onto Discord (the horror, the horror...) for the official Shadowdark community.

The Reddit group and Facebook group are both decent IMO. I generally post my stuff on Reddit.

Yeah, I had to borrow a copy myself.

Tracked it down.

Holy hell it's a lot of...words. It may be a great setting for Shadowdark campaigns, but it's not the same presentation.

Back in the 80's I would stay up late reading stuff like this, but now I really appreciate terse, zero-prep format. Maybe a campaign setting can't be zero-prep in the way a short adventure can, but I'd really love to see something other than long form prose.
 



Quick Shadowdark Question looking online it looks like it has a very small number of priest spells. Is that correct?

If you are looking at the free version that was released before the book came out, then the list is even shorter.

There are 30 Priest spells, total: 6 each for Tiers 1-5. (Wizards get twice as many, and can learn more, too, but they are weaker in terms of hp/armor/weapons.)

I got into RPGs by reading dense stuff like this, and I still prefer it.
