Shadowdark deserves every single award it got—and then some more! I wish I was into dungeon crawls just to be more motivated to run it, that's how good it is! 😂 🖤

Kelsey Dionne and the Arcane Library artists deserve all the praise they can absorb!

Great product, great layout, great art, great product... Best game of the year, no doubt.

BTW: Although it is designed for dungeon-crawling, ShadowDark can easily run psychological, political, or geographical campaigns. It is a universal fantasy rpg. The 68 pages of tables cover all of the elements of fantasy adventure. Just add your favorite map and the game/campaign is complete!
