Hey! Personally I love it. Despite owning dozens and dozens of RPG systems, this one in particular sees the most play at the moment. This is the system I bring out when I just want to do a straight-up dungeon crawl, especially if there is new players that are interested. This is due to how...

What an odd way to market this game... Taking jabs at the very people that "inspired" your ruleset comes across as a little mean spirited, no?

Oh right, I completely forgot. Shadowdark gets lots of B/X and 5E clone comments, but I'm thinking a better way of describing it to people is the "0D&D version of DCC" maybe?

Was Black Hack the originator of the "roll to cast" rule? So very, very true! One of the reasons I'm upset with C&C is they went from Lv 12 to 24 in the core rule set. :confused:

I'm a softy, so house-ruled all spells get to work at least once before losing them. This is to keep the torch mechanic relevant to all players. Shadowdark is not meant to replace any of those more robust systems; it's soul focus is quick dungeon delving, just like you pointed out. It's for...

Another one joins the fold!: I related to his experiences with the current version of D&D and moving on.

Out of curiosity, would having AI generated art disqualify you from the art categories? Would be something to see the fallout of an AI win if it doesn't...🍿

Savage Worlds (Aliens specifically) I know that seems like an easy one to throw out since it's generic, but honestly think the mechanics (extras, exploding dice, all or nothing kill rolls, etc.) support an Aliens movie quite well. Also, coming up with new and fun alien types, even spur of the...

Nope! Which is why I would hate to see them start. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt this is coming from a place of excitement and love and truly is enough of an upgrade that they couldn't just stick the rules in the back of the new adventure book (which is my preferred way of going about...

Okay, if they put out a free PDF that gets me up to speed, I'm not bitter. That said, they better not just "phone it in" and pour some love into this new edition.

Well, I know I'm certainly going to think twice about going "all in" on their next project, especially if I don't plan to play it right away...

Pretty sure he doesn't want his real name out there...

Cool to know, thanks!

Oh, I didn't realize the ENNIES are not 100% an ENWorld ceremony anymore? Is ENWorld involved at all? Who owns it now?

Have the ENNIE Award Winners been posted here yet? Nothing is coming up from searching. Feels awkward going to Reddit to see and have discourse over it.

Wow, no kidding! This made my entire year. I remember there was a thread on what our perfect version of D&D would be like and I responded with: I knew when I was typing it out it was just a pipe dream. The hobby as a whole seemed to be marching in the exact opposite direction and I knew, much...

I too am still loving this system. That said, I finally picked up Dragonbane. I think I might have found my new "large campaign" system. That said, it's not replacing Shadowdark for short and focused dungeon crawls; with limited time to game, Shadowdark will be the one to hit the table for...

I remember thinking that was a real possibility at one point. Then 5E dropped... Still silently hoping for the day though...

If I were to run it, I'd probably use Baptism of Fire. A game by Pundit I talked about on this thread here. Strikes me as just the right magic/power level with a quasi-realistic setting that fits ASOIAF pretty well. His older games like Lion & Dragon and Dark Albion have resources that can be...

@Dannyalcatraz I wonder what truff mayo would taste like in a chicken recipe like this one? 😋
