Ok I'm back! I don't know if it is #dungeon23 per se, as it is not a mega dungeon, but I did start a new large dungeon. The problem I'm trying to address with this dungeon is how to effectively represent both horizontal and vertical space on the same map in a way that radically increases...

Yeah that Alexandrian review starting at 9:43 has some interesting thoughts about some of the contradictions in what the game wants to be.

The review is about what has been published so far and in episode 1 of the new series. It’s also about the way critical role positions itself in the hobby as a business and enterprise. It’s much the same way a critic might write about the first episode of a new season of a tv show

A thoughtful review about the game, the actual play, and the reactions to both by Cannibal Halfling Gaming https://cannibalhalflinggaming.com/2023/05/31/candela-obscura-quickstart-review/

what kind of paper and markers are you using?

They need a bard to make fun of that dragon's stubby arms

I think that was made in the middle of the shadowdark KS. The author will probably update it eventually

Someone went through and catalogued the most recommended OSR games. It's an interesting and helpful list--about half of the commonly recommended games are not retroclones, but "new school revolution" games. I think Shadowdark fits most within that latter group of games (i.e. "NSR" games)...

its very similar in design and tone. TBH being roll under and player facing would probably be the most significant difference. Oddly, I haven’t seen reviews comparing SD to the black hack, knave, cairn, or even icrpg, despite the fact that those games share the same space. Instead, reviews...

I feel bad because my #dungeon23 production has fallen apart. But I'm rooting for you!

This book will be 80 pages total, with 75 d100 tables (each probably 1/2 page-1page). I would expect the core rules to come in at maybe 10-15 pages, and maybe another 10-15 pages of DM advice (Principia Apocrypha is 30 pages, but with a large font).

This should be d100 reasons wotc is bad

The pricing tier on Knave 2e is a step below Shadowdark, so it will be more difficult for it to get to $1M. He'll need many more backers. quick comparison: Digital SD - $30 Knave - $20 Digital Complete SD - $55 Knave - $40 Physical + Digital SD - $59 Knave - $35 Physical + Digital...

Putting the ethics and legality of the situation to one side, was this a good decision by wotc from a PR perspective? Knowing their audience, knowing the way twitter/youtube works, being mindful of recent history...has it been beneficial to them as a company? The real tension here is that wotc...

Thank you so much for this post! I find this fascinating. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this form of role play emerged with no particular reference to Dungeons and Dragons or other TTRPGs, and was more akin to a kind of collective fan fiction writing. The way this ethos feeds into contemporary...

Still easier than AD&D initiative
