I’d say the gameplay loop of anticipating the spells needed and being limited to 60 is a bit more similar to how a Wizard prepares for an adventuring day than playing, say, poker

Bandits usually stop fighting after you've split their leader in two

I'm just saying that a game based around D&D and its original Vancian casting would be a huge commercial failure and very unpopular. Wouldn't you rather be able to use all of your spells all the time?

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...

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...
