It's like Snarf's mama always told me, "Iron sharpens iron, sonny boy, so stop drinkin' up all my brown liquor and go argue on internet forums sober. If it doesn't turn you into a lawyer it'll at least turn you into a rules lawyer, and either way they'll curse your name."

Your first comment in the thread was a reply to a comment from the beginning of the thread taking the OP at their word before several folks pointed out the physical objects the OP missed, and taking a sarcastic shot at WotC. Your immediate next comment was a similarly antagonistic shot. You...

There is a general social disapprobation associated with behavior like that ENworld sanctions as "threadcrapping". Joining a discussion strictly to naysay is antisocial and brings people down. It also provokes arguments. This particular instance is a little beyond some of the other ones...

The first three pages, prior to your first comment, include several posts of people SHOWING the play guide (rulebook) which the OP claimed not to exist. And multiple people pointing out exactly where the spell save DCs are specified on the character cards. 🤷‍♂️

And it's a great suggestion, too. Laying some groundwork to counter the Forever DM phenomenon is an excellent idea.

Yup. The starter box seems to have been primarily designed to onboard new players, incorporating some design practices from modern board game design and presentation ("read this first" booklets and links to online tutorials are super common nowadays, as are other elements like the individual...

Repeating or credulously amplifying misinformation is definitely not of value. It's certainly possible to make meaningful contributions to a discussion about a book one hasn't read, a movie one hasn't seen, or a game product one hasn't played with or even read, but there are obviously some...

I would say yes, with a larger group where a) you might spread out a little more/split up (but not far) for searching, and b) there are more people to carry treasure in those limited encumbrance slots, absolutely having a second (maybe even third if the group is big enough) torch going is...

But yeah, if you're using individual tokens/a more tactical movement style with squares instead of the more abstracted movement (close, near, etc.) that Shadowdark is primarily designed for, the light thing can definitely be an issue. Exploration/crawling turns in SD, while taken by individual...

There's also the option to play on a VTT using a single token for the entire party instead of individual tokens with characters moving separately and not everyone having light. Make individual movement theater of the mind. I've played online this way in OD&D and in B/X, and I think it's a...

Which one is you/what colors were you wearing?

The edge case which I see trip people up most often is that Readying an action to cast a spell requires Concentration. You actually cast the spell on your own turn and then concentrate until the trigger condition occurs. So if you want to do it you have to drop any Concentration spell you're...

Last night I did three circuits of dumbbell bench, inclined curls, and lateral raises, with drop sets. Then three sets of machine triceps extensions with drop sets. Having no luck getting motivated in the mornings for my lower body/core work lately. I want to get back to that, but I'm cutting...

Showing off those bardic talents yet again. Live Through This is such a good album.

Ok, sounds like you did it right, then, and they just got lucky with the RE rolls, I guess. :)

Did you miss the note above the random encounter chart, which makes it increasingly likely to inevitable that the minotaur will keep showing up?
