Man that sounds like a terrible resource management system. Absolutely nobody would buy or play that game.

Eh, I feel like the Superhero moment is already at its tail end. But for Outgunned it makes sense because they're already building upon their Action Movie base. Speaking of Zeitgeist, has anyone done a Squid Games-esque TTRPG yet? If you think about it, it's basically a Level 0 dungeon funnel...

For extra houserule spice you can make it a 2d6+mod roll and use this table and do Failure, Partial Success (Succeed, but the Dungeon makes a Move on you) and Success :cool:

Some people like that and SD is designed to scratch that itch. I'm not saying its bad or the wrong way to have fun, it's just not how the rules intend you to create a character. I've played with groups that also think the character creation process of the already considered light 5E14 is a...

In a white room fight without improvisation, the goblins are aware of the Thief. The Thief doesn't get to sneak off or backstab.

It lets you pick a class you're working towards rather than just rolling a person and seeing what job fits them best

I'm sorry, but flat out saying that magic is being nerfed out of the game is nonsense, a lvl 1 Wizard gets three level 1 spells and will be on average >50% to cast it and getting to cast it again. How many spells and how many usages does a lvl 1 magic-user get in ODND 1E B/X and 2E?

Yeah like I said. People are free to make Shadowdark Heartbreakers, the lack of CC-BY is not an obstacle. They're just not allowed to copypaste slop something together

There’s over a hundred of Borg Games, Pirate borg is one of those exceptions

Nothing is stopping you from making a derivative game that plays basically like Shadowdark. We have a million OSR Games that don't let you reprint wording verbatim to protect their intellectual property. Also TSR era games aren't open either. Last time I checked the 1e/2e materials still cost...

Again You may freely use and reference the genereal concepts of Shadowdark RPG, such as the rules and game mechanics. (...) You may not print verbatim passages of text. (...) From the website: https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/blogs/shadowdark-blog/faq-on-the-shadowdark-rpg-third-party-license

Actually, I'm wrong. The license is actually much more open. You're allowed to reprint verbatim passages of text from the entire bestiary, spell list and magic item list. huh! So I guess, technically you could restate the entire game within the shadowdark license and offer it for free. (Without...

Also in terms of accessibility, the Quickstart Rules are free and basically contain the entire system, barring high level spells (90% of the playerbase will probably never see), bestiary and magic items. So if you build a Shadowdark derivative product (totally reworked character classes...

Look, even Kelsey agrees! Note: These classes will be added to the big Western Reaches Player Handbook 1.5M seems like a comfy pass. Wonder what we'll get then. But since margins have come down for the project with the cheaper pledge options I don't expect anything big.
